After discussing the tuning procedure for my bike and what it will do, the wife has given the ok to go ahead with it.

I know everyone has different opinions of what to do, so this is what I am thinking right now.

First, I don't need the bike fast! I sold my Super Glide Custom with a 103 Stage 2 kit because I thought I would kill myself on that thing after finding myself shifting into 6th gear at 100mph.

I just want it to run great, and frankly all the prior bikes I have had the stage 1 download at the Harley done with ran great....no problems with them at all.


I have the V&H Dual Slash Cut slip ons. I really like the air cleaner looks of the 2016 Low Rider and Wide Glide, with the 103 High Output emblem. I think I will have to buy the High Airflow air cleaner and then buy the specific chrome air cleaner cover, and emblem from Harley.
It seems to my research the oval air cleaners are all the same (they have three holes to secure it to the backing plate, and one center hole to secure the outer chrome cover) so I would just need the chrome part that will have the indentation to allow the emblem on it. The Screaming Eagle cover indentation is not wide enough to use the 103 emblem.

Then I was looking into the FP3 tuner. I have looked into some other tuners and don't like the idea of all the wiring that needs to be done, and with the FP3, after tuning it, I can remove it from the bike if I want to.
I don't want to get the California unit, because I heard, (don't know if it is true) that the California FP3 only allows two options (maps).
Another concern I have, I will have to look into this, is that I read that the FP3 doesn't have any options for aftermarket cams. (is every cam other than the stock one considered "aftermarket"...even ones from Harley?) I noticed a line on the website that said it was in the process of coming up with maps for aftermarket cams. So I am wondering if I buy this, will the next owner be able to put a cam in the bike down the road and still use the FP3?

Other than that, as soon as I can get these questions answered and get the parts ordered, I will be able to add "Motorcycle Tuning" to my resume!

 

Do a search on the forum theres millions of threads on tuners. Or you can contact fuel moto and search there site also. Jamie posts on here often and can answer any questions if you contact fuel moto.

I went with the FP3 and it's very user friendly. Add it to your cart and see the price drop

Download the FPs phone app. Then you will see what it can do.

I did the phone app and used the demo mode and like the autotune feature.

 

Then you should know the maps support aftermarket cams

 

I found the following at Fuel Moto's website...

FuelPak FP3 is a flashed based tuner which gives you basic control of fuel & spark. This product is best suited to Stage 1 modifications such as air cleaner & exhaust. FuelPak FP3 does not support modifications such as aftermarket cams or big bore kits.

 

That's right where you lost me. I've never discussed tuning with my wife or waited for permission.

 

Have you looked at DynoJet Power Vision? Very good tuner and simple to use. The auto-tune works well.
Good luck
Bill
