Stage 1 done - No Tuner Yet
I know this will cause the bike to run lean but any other problems long term? What are you guys running as far as a tuner? I am looking at the Power Comander, anyone disagree, if so why?

As far as my knowledge goes (which isn't much) the stage one isn't fully complete without a decent fuel tuner.
I ran my bike for a few miles until I got a tuner. I'm telling you man night and day difference. Better all around with a decent tuner. No pops or crackle, better throttle response, better power throughout the rpms.
Get a tuner. Lots of good ones for decent price.
Screamin eagle race tuner,
Power commander, fuel paks, power vision are among the most popular around my neck of the woods. Good luck. Lots of great info on the forum.

nothing wrong with a power commander unless water infiltrates the plug, which is also an easy fix but a bit of a pita. Also you will need a good map for it to run correctly or have your bike dyno tuned. Your cheapest route is to buy your PC-V from fuelmotousa who will always support you if your having prblems and upgrade your map, for life, should you modify any other components down the road.
I used to have a PC-V until I bought a power vision.

Mine was popping like hell when I installed the v&h straight shots. I highly recommend the Dynojet PV. I flashed the base install, then went on a 100 mile auto tune ride and am now tweeking the decel fuel mix to remove the pop. Great product, but expensive.

+1 Power Vision from Fuel Moto, or any of the tuners they sell. It's like buying the tuner and getting the tunes for free. Granted nothing is going to be as good as a good dyno tune, but they are as close as you are going to get without a dyno.

If you don't get a tuner put on your bike immediately the whole Earth will implode....
Seriously though you will be much happier with a tune of some sort. Darn EPA and their lean tuning. From what I've seen I would agree there is quite a few good ones out there. If you are planning more performance mods in the future go with one that you can at least do some adjustments yourself down the road. Either free updated maps, auto tune, etc.

Here is a before and after a Power Vision dyno tune. Base is V&H Straight Shots and an AN air cleaner. About a 16% increase across the board just with a tuner and some dyno time.

You are correct you will be running lean with out the tuner.
Devin and Kevin (DK) both use the Power Vision on their bikes and they are 100% satisfied. One of the many good things about the Power Vision is it comes with the auto tune feature. However, i do not disagree with the Power Comander, it is just your preference. Let us know what you decide to go with
