Superchips Vigilante Tuner Exclusive Deal For Hdforums Members!
#501
Completely understand...
I haven't received an email from Anthony since 8:25 yesterday AM. But I have never given him an "urgent" tone...just here's what I've found, here's what I think.
Now, if a week goes by and nothing, I'll get on the phone to ask. But I'm in no dire straights...I have no problem being a tester.
Just got my bike early August, first Harley, great learning experience so far.
On one hand, I'm a Harley Rookie...but on the other, that's good. I've not yet developed any biases for one product or method than the next.
I'll advise all when what resolution we come to, good, bad or indifferent.
I feel I can be fair no matter what the outcome.

With tuner in hand I plugged it into the grey plug on bike, it then lights up and follow the prompts. Reflash and codes check and clear takes about 10 minutes, done.
I had XIED's installed for the past 2 years and left them installed. I took it for a ride and everything worked and no check engine light. I rode about 20 miles and pulled over and cycled key off and restarted, all is well.
The results were a 9 on a scale of 10. Decel pop 99.9% gone, low rpm surge gone, throttle response 100% better, torque or power in 6th gear amazing.
The only possible negative is the idle is 75 rpm's higher at warm idle and the exhaust has a slight "rich" odor to it, but neither a deal breaker.
If these conditions continue, this will be the best $150 I've spent. There were 3 programs available to choose from during download, I chose the 1st of the 3.
If this setup doesn't kill the mpg and it continues to run the way it does, I will give this tuner 2 thumbs up and the 1/2 price offer is a bonus. I run a Ness Super sucker, Freedom Performance Signiture Slipons and XIED's. I am very happy.

The softail models on the website still end at 2013, wazzup with that? What is the difference between the 2013 and my 2014? I checked the Touring models, 2014 calls for the 5842 (CAN), same as the 2013 Softail. I'd buy the thing if it would work, but when I called I was told there is nothing for the 2014s yet. Very confusing!

If I owned a 2014 Heritage, I would buy the tuner and load your bike's info in as a 2013. They will give you multiple exhaust and a/f choices. I would think one of their maps would work.
The only issue that might happen is that when you attach tuner to the bike, it does read the VIN #. It may not allow you to select a "tune" because the 14 is not avail. If this happens you could return the tuner, or keep it until a 14 selection is avail. For the $150 I would give it a try. The tuner # and CAN are correct and I would bet the 2014 will have maps and be able to download for your 2014.

I sorta wonder what year they'll have a 14 map. The 15's are out. Now what? Wait yet another year and maybe a 14 will be covered? This is what I was referring to on a previous post. I think they got overloaded and just don't have the staff to correct it. Okay. I'm a bad guy. Should never had suggested that. I do think at some point they actually will make everyone happy. The product is good. It just needs some tweaking and some customer service that really works. Customer service is the problem. I'm still waiting on a response from tech@superchips.com. As before, harleyhelp@superchips.com bounced undeliverable. Which suggests tech@superchips.com works but so what????? Ignore is ignore.
