Just ran across a deal for a Vance and Hines Fuelpak For $216.95 with free shipping from Eastern Performance. My bike has the Stage 1 upgrade with Vance and Hines Big Shot Duals.

Does this sound like a good deal, and will it do everything as advertised? From what I can gather by searching online it seems to be a good fuel management system.

Any body out there running this setup that can give me any input or advice?

 

I have that same setup on my 08 very happy with it also easy to install

 

I have purchased the V&H Fuelpak from Eastern - waiting for the 1000 mile check up before I install it. Thinking of doing the stage 1 ECM upgrade and a SE air filter at the 1000 mile check up - then I will install the Fuelpak. Figured I would have the stage 1 done in case the Fuelpak fails with the SE high flow air filter installed - I can remove the fuel Pak and still have the correct ECM setup for a high flow air filter.

Hoping I can tune that slight decel pop out of it and cool it down a little bit. Got a trip in July up through Colorado to Moab Utah and the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. I want to get it fine tuned before dealing with the temperature and elevation changes involved in making the trip.

 

They retail at 280! I paid $250 then looked on Eastern and saw that. I like mine really easy to install and did what was promised.
I messed around a bit and changed the setting to one thatwas close but alittle richer and the bike had alittle more power threw the curve but I changed it back .

 

The fuel pax will do it's job provided there is a map or your personal set up.
Meaning ac, pipes. There is not a map for stock pipes that I am aware of. Before doing a download try the fuel pax first. If there is not a map then do the down load. you can check maps at http://www.fuelpakfi.com/harley1.html for the set up you are planing to use. Might save you a few $$$

 

There is a map for stage 1

 

It is a great fuel management device. Easy to install. You can install it and there is a map for the HD Stage 1 download. FYI those of you thinking of getting one there is no need to get the Fuelpak and a Stage 1. That is a waste of money. The Fuelpak will do everything for you. In your case you already have the Stage 1 download.

 

Does anyone know if the V&H fuel pak still uses the O2 sensors for live correction or is it just whatever the program is??

 

The Fuelpak retains the O2 sensors, however the Fuelpak cannot make adjustments below approx 40% throttle on O2 sensor equipped models. What this means is that in this area your bike will not run any different that stock, as the O2 sensors will continue to set the AFR at 14.7:1 which is extremely lean contributing to high engine temps, poor throttle response, etc.. This is a problem as this is the most crucial area that needs to be tuned. V&H has not been completely forthcoming with providing this information. That aside, the Fuelpak has shown to work for some riders, has some unique features and the do have tech support available.
