Yeah, adding a power commander will not void your warranty....unless there are obvious signs of sever engine damage and it can be traced to improper tuning. I confirmed this with my local dealer (which I purchased the bike from). I heard great things about the PC5 and really have my sights set on getting one. I also am sold on the V&H Big Radius 2-1 exhaust. I love the beefy-ness of it and think it goes really well with the Fat Boy Lo's theme. I have not found other pipes that fit the bike's personality as well.

So, I guess I will just have to wait....but forward controls will be a must! I hate feeling like I am sitting on the toilet when riding this bike. lol :-)

Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

According to the video: "This product will work on any Harley (with Delphi ECM)". The 2012 Fat Boy Lo (and other softail models) do NOT use Delphi ECM anymore. Harley has switched for the first time ever (I believe) to Bosch ECM units. So, this product will not work on my bike....bummer!! :-(

Yes they have but.....not all 2012 Softail models have the new Bosch ECM. The Power Vision is ONLY available for the 2012 models with the Delphi ECM as stated on their website. The 2012 Fat Boy Lo has the new Bosch ECM. Therefore the one that is out now for 2012 will not work on the Fat Boy Lo.

The product looks super cool!! I probably wouldn't know what to do with most of the features....probably hit a tree while playing around with the screen. lol

Not sure if you like 'em or not, but the V&H BSS in black are available for the 2012 Softails, according to V&H's website. They look great on the Lo. I have the BSS Chrome on my 2012 Heritage and I am pleased with them. You can always go with the SE Pro Tuner, which of course is available now.

Here's a couple of thoughts in a different direction: Your in PA, if you have a day when it's nice or marginally nice, or at least dry, just ride the thing instead of fretting over aftermarket mods. If you can't ride it due to wx put a cover on it and don't worry about it. There will be plenty of companies with their hands in your wallet soon enough. Patience, grasshopper

I know I know....BUT, I plan on shipping the bike down to Miami in March (doing a Miami to Key West ride with my 3 older brothers). Which means I only have 2 or so months to get this stuff done. Otherwise I would do what you suggested......ride when possible and keep it covered when not. :-)
