RE: XIED's shipped
Ordered mine on Saturday and recieved this e-mail today:
No biggie. I have lived with the bike surging for the last 2 years I can wait a couple of extra days.
Just wanted to let you know that we are running a little behind on our production of IED's. But we will not compromise our quality checks in order to speed up production. We hope to ship before the end of this week.
If this is a problem, feel free to contacts us. Your patience in this matter is appreciated.

RE: XIED's shipped
This guy seems pretty solid. I would rather wait a week than get one that was hurried. I think you will like the product. Are you running any pipes or air fuel management system now?

RE: XIED's shipped
Ordered mine last week (XIED). They showed up yesterday. Spent most of Saturday riding back in the rain from northern michigan....so I've got some cleaning/scrubbing to do before I install these. Will let you know how they work for me.
BTW, I recently added Rinehart slip-on, SE breather and had the dealer install (ya right) the download (protect me from warranty issues). I get quite a bit of popping on deceleration....at least more than I had stock. Hard to tell though as the pipes sound drastically different. XIEDs seemed like the cheapest way to richen the mixture a little. Not looking for huge performance gains, but will take them if available. From the sounds of it, I'll be happy.

I have run 2 tanks of fuel through my FXDL since installing the Xieds. My gas milage is 42.9 up from a dissapionting 37 MPG. I have SE slipons SE air cleaner, and download done by the dealer.
Just thought people would be interested in that result with the high gas prices.

PCIII
I am hoping these will get rid of the surging that I have been plagued with since I bought the bike. I will try them with the PCIII attached first and if that doesn't work then I will take the PCIII off and run with only the Xieds. One way or another I will get this thing running the way it should of from the get go.

Does anyone know if the Xieds are okay to use with a SERT tune or with a PC3? ....and then maybe with a subsequent dyno?

RE: XIED's shipped
Interesting results Zevron. I have the same setup as you do and I had the opposite experience. Was running IED's and got 48 MPG, put in the XIED's and dropped to upper 30's. I'm selling the XIED's if anybody is interested.

RE: XIED's shipped
After two days of running the XIEDs I decided to pull the FuelPak. I forgot how easy that thing was to install/uninstall. I test rode last night and again today and the bike is running great. I may have lost some power on hard throttle, but it is worth it to me just to simplify the system and I will sell the FuelPak. It is the same one that fits the V-Rod, so maybe someone will get some good use out of it. I will pull plugs this weekend to see how they look after about 100 miles with the XIEDs. So far I am pretty happy with this part.
