another FP3 for the FXFBS like on my other Harley's.
But you said earlier " As some of you may now I'm not a fan of the PV"

Yes the PV I'm not a fan of because of the reason I said, you could not hide that thing on a decent manner when auto-tuning the bike. When you park the bike somewhere with it sitting
on the handlebar it could be stolen by some persons who are thinking it a gps. If I need to remove it every time I park and hide it or carry it with me, no not for me. And yes I know that
you are not doing auto-tune all the time .

The Power Commander like PCII & III where in the '90s the only decent things on the market for racing purpose.

Like for each product are pros and cons, fans and haters... amen

Sounds like it is worth having then, that’s the main question. Will do some FP3 and PV comparisons. Thanks for your time guys!

Thanks for the info. Good to know my research was pretty spot on, and the PV is a really great product.
Im really blown away they don't give you a PC application, that's weird. Why on earth would they not do that?

[QUOTE = MoneyFor; 18525978] Optez pour le FP3, vous serez satisfait, facile ŕ utiliser et beaucoup de choix parmi les cartes que vous pouvez télécharger pour votre configuration. Comme certains d' entre vous maintenant , je ne suis pas fan de la PV, je ne me soucie de l'argent
parce que je suis un pour le FXFBS et le changer avec un FP3 et le PV était bien stocké [/ QUOTE]

Moi aussi j’ai un FXFBS FATBOB 2018. Quand je veux faire autotune, ça reste blanc, j’ai aucun carré jaune, orange ou vert. Quand je veux revenir ŕ ma carte d’origine, le bouton start ne fonctionne plus. Vous me conseillez quoi ?

First try to install or update the app again and then you can try again. If it still does not work, you can easily contact the V&H customer support, send them an email and you will receive a quick answer.

PS. I don't speak french, had to use google translate to understand your question.

Using the FP3 on my FXDR. The autotune function, I couldn't get a good running map out of it and I was able to make an impressively green covered chart.

But, with the canned map it runs very good and has more pull to top end than was the case with the bike stock.

Also, the speedo recalibration is great because now my speed and mileage are accurate. Prior, they were off really bad. Like close to 10% bad.

Some features don't work on it. Top speed governor isn't removed and I cannot get the popping on decel to work either.

Otherwise, it is hidden, used with the phone and I don't want anything sitting on my dash area like a GPS or other gadgets.
