Nightster Vance/Hines Fuel Pack
Hello, I am new to the Forum and was wondering if some of you could shed some light on a question. I have \\;a 2007 XL1200N, Nightster.
 \\;
I want to install the Vance and Hines Short Shots with the Forcewinder Intake (part#5013-BK). My local HD dealership wants to charge me $400 for the power comander and another $450 for the labor to install and Dyno. I was wondering if I purchased the Vance and Hines Fuel Pack (part#61007A) and install myself would I run into any road blocks? Is the Fuel Pack a "Plug and Play" and adjust the fuel \\;accordingly? \\;I am a fairly mechanical guy and enjoy working on things.
 \\;
Any insight that you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I haven't put in the fuel pack myself...just got the dealer re-map, but from what I've seen you give V&\\;H your specs and it sends it to u programmed and ready to plug I think. \\; The biggest issue I've heard is finding a place to \\;put it (i.e. stuffing it under the seat).
 \\;
 \\;Especially if you have some mechanical ability, do all of the stuff yourself, exhaust, forcewinder etc....it'll save you so much $ in the long run. \\; I've spent $1200 on mods for my bike and the re-map is the only time the dealer touched it. \\; By shopping around for parts and putting them on myself, I've saved anywhere from $2,000-$5,000.

I went with the V&\\;H Short Shots/ Fuel Pak/ K&\\;N filter with modified air cleaner housing. \\; Everything will work wonderful, but you will bitch and moan getting the fuel pack unit to fit between the frame rails on top of the battery... \\; Just a bitch as its a tight fit. \\; But can be done if your patient. \\; Other than that it is plug N play... I had no problems and the bike runs fantastic.

I ran the fuel pak and I wasnt too happy with it. Im not saying other stuff out there blows it away cause I never tried anything else, so I wont make that statement. I felt that the settings V&H gave me were not as good as it could have been. If I were to do it again I would stay away from the fuelpak and probably have a dealer dyno tune it for me. And as for the placement of the fuelpak........... dont get me started!!! [sm=headbang.gif] I understand that the fuelpak works for many bikes so changing the housing to suit each bike would be pricy but damn that thing sucked *** to get it! knowing how to do it now is a plus but I would refuse to help any of my boys try to install one cause it really was that shitty to get in there.

Does the Fuel pack replace the ECM under the seat? I assumed it did. But I guess it is safe to say that the new fuel pack will not mount anywhere under the seat, correct?
