Power Vision PV1 prices/question
Hey all,
Just looking on Amazon, they carry the Power Vision PV1 for $429, $70 less than Dennis Kirk, J&P, or even Fuelmoto.
My question is: Does Fuelmoto price match? Any reason theirs would be worth the $70 additional?
Thanks-

A pre-programmed map for your specific setup, double warranty, and lifetime support... well worth the extra price of admission 
Do a search here on the forums and you'll find threads with posters who are having issues with their mapping and the first thing you discover is they didn't buy from FuelMoto or DK Custom getting that excellent unlimited support and access to their map library... It's $70, sometimes you can go cheap and get away with it, sometimes it's better to not go cheap 
Edited to add: Sorry if that came off as a bit smarmy, not my intent. I bought my PV from DK Custom, they're in a partnership with FuelMoto, I gave Natalie at DK my exact setup and the map they pre-programmed into my Power Vision was so good and the bike ran so well I could have easily just left it alone and been very happy, but being the person who's always tinkering I ran some autotunes and really dialed it in for my riding style. I've owned quite a few HD's over the years and this 103 Wide Glide is the strongest running HD I've ever had and that's fully due to the PV and the proper tune. She was OK before, but now, the beastie is alive. I'd doubt I could have gotten such a great base map from DynoJet to begin tuning with, and down the road when I do cams and headwork DK Custom and FuelMoto will be there with the map I need for whatever setup I'm running next

The other thing that nice noticed with the FM bundle is that it comes standard with a handlebar mount whereas the one I've seen at other places does not. Not sure if that's always the case but it narrows the margin a bit

If you need a stage 1 style setup as well, Fuelmoto has a package discount deal for that. And like the previous poster stated you get the handlebar mount and sun visor for the powervision. I think when I added up the full price on everything I was going to buy (tuner, mount, stage 1 air cleaner) basically the unlimited lifetime tunes was going to cost me $35. Even if my numbers are wrong and were doubled, it would still be way cheaper than a dyno tune. And my bike runs better and even gets better mileage.
