i need a straight answer
first i am new, and yes i have already searched the archives for prior posts.i own a 2006 street bob, and i bought it used with 5K miles on it.
it came with the screaming eagle high flow air cleaner, and has screaming eagle pipes on it. my problem is they both suck donkey *****.
i have a set of VH sideshots and i am awaiting an internal breather/bracket to mount my goodson aircleaner. i am totally new to fuel injected bikes, so my question is do i need to get the VH fuel pak, the HD PCII/remap, or nothing at all? Since the bike already had a high flow aircleaner and SE pipes, i'd imagine they sprung for the stage 1 map as well. if all i am doing is switching high flow air cleaners (which shouldn't matter) and switching pipes, do I really need to remap or get a fuel pak? anyadvice is greatly appreciated

If you install a dynojet pc111 usb,I think you will be satisfied with your performance. You should also go to a K+N filter kit,with the bigger backing plate. IMHO,the se air filter is junk.

Bottom line, though, I think you need to geta tuner for what you are about to do regardless of what was done previously.

My dealer told methat the Rush was the closest thing to the old Screaming Eagle II pipes.

RE: i need a straight answer
I bought my 05' Wide Glide used with a stage 1 Arlen Ness open element filter and a 2-1 exhaust. Assumed the previous owner did a re-map, but don't know for sure... I didn't care for the look of the 2-1, so I installed a set of Vance & Hines long shots this spring. I couldn't wait to fire it up and take it for a spin. No re-mapping first. After 4k miles, I decided not to have it done.

It will most likely not hurt anything to try it without a tuner first.If it runs like crap ,IE. alot of backifiring or popping, you'll know you need some sort of tuner.I tried a DFO first could not get it to stop backfiring, sprung for a SERT and had it tuned on a dyno much better.

RE: i need a straight answer
have not heard the donkey ***** saying for 20 years. anyways see if the bike pops on decel or backfires. if so put a race tuner or PC 111 usb on it.
