What to do?
I have an 07 SB with a SE 103 stage II, which was installed by the dealer prior to when I purchased the bike new. I recently installed a set of V&H bigshots, and am wondering if I need to re-map my ECU. I've talked with a coulple local dealers who both said I needed to buy the SERT and put the bike on a dyno to create the best results; about $1000 when it's said and done. So do I have any other options? PCIII etc., just a re-map,or do I even need to do anything? The bike seems to be running fine and I have no intention on doing any further engine work. Not real clear on what needs to happen, my main concern is I don't wan't to put too many miles on the bike if it's running too lean or rich. Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions. -Ed

If the dealer put in the 103 etc. you are fine, forget what anybody tells you. You are a stage 2, and I am sure they would not send that bike out the door without an adequate fuel mix.

RE: What to do?
My advice for what its worth is eithera PC111 or SERT.
With the money you have put into your bike it deserves to be set up to its best potential. Sure the plugs may look good but a good tuner will always get it to run at its max. That will give you the benefits right across the board, fuel consumption performance sweet running, and you ain,t gonna know till its tuned.
The SERT / PC111aregreat pieces of kit and you need a tuner that can work with them so you,ll need to do some homework to find who,s who in your area.
When your done then you,ll know for sure your moneys well spent.

if your not going to do anything more than keep your 103 kit then just geta download...it will run fine. I'm not sure why people on this site are so uppity about getting everything dynotuned. In a lot of cases it isn't needed. When I put pipes and and AC on i just downloaded a map for my PCIII and it rode beautiful. 300 dollars isn't worth the money for the extra 3 hp if you bike is running fine. The nice thing about the download from the dealer is if they do the download and your bike runs crappy you can take it back and they will have to fix it. Same thing with a SERT...PCIII's they are a little more leary on unless you spend the big bucks and buy one there. Any choice will work well for you...its all about the future and what your plans are.
