Default Cobra v Power Vision v Thundermax

I had a Power Vision with my 09 and I loved it. However, I know that Cobra has a solution that is supposed to be good, but I don't know anyone that has one. Thundermax is always good. What have you guys used? I need the good bad and ugly.

I don't have one but the new FP3 looks very impressive for stage 1 or 2.

I have both the Thundermax on my SG and the Power Vision on my Limited. Can't complain. Like that fact that the PV you can make adjustments with the unit vs the Thundermax you have to hook up a laptop. But outside of that both are very good.

I have the Cobra PowrPro. It is only an automatic fuel management device, working well on a basically stock engine.

Thanks guys. From what I am reading to this point I might be better off with a PV or TMax. Now I have to decide on which.

All the Way! On your PV, you hooked up the display unit right? Mine is a Road King, not sure where I'd place the display box...

I assume you were referring to me since you saw the Airborne. I didn't hook up the unit to the bars. I keep it in my tour pack and only pull it out when needed.

Default PV placement on bike

Thanks Kesean. Yes I was referring to you. Not many of us that were airborne, although I'm sure the technology is so different now. I used T10s in jump school. MC1-1B was just being introduced. Kind like the days with only kick starts! Thanks for your reply. I don't really like putting anything on the bars and the PV display came with a mounting hardware. When you use the auto-tune function, you still have to hook it up and ride for a while don't you? I don't anticipate needing any fine tuning until I change up more things, so far just a/c, exhaust system and the pv.
