Put fuel pak on,no problem,have V&H BSS and S/E AC works welll if no other mods.Easy to install excellent support.Need to call and talk to them for assistance not so good responding to e-mail.I had no problems what so ever contacting them on phone and they will answer all questions and help you with any problems.
Have 23, 000 on this 07 low rider with FP,SE AC and BSS.Works well and would use again if no futher mods.

only the O2 sensors are disconnected(others remain connected). The bike will start up and high idle till warm like it should. you may not even notice the difference. What can happen ,of course, is the bike can start running a tad rich or lean based upon external conditions. You may notice this while riding or not. I would get the PCIII as it will probably fit your needs well and you should be satisfied with the results when it is properly mapped. I think if you live or ride in areas where you do a lot of elevation changes, you may want to keep your O2 sensors in the loop. the bike will run better in these circumstances when it has the ability to adapt and maintain your AFR on a more constant basis.

My bike ran like crap on the Fuel Pak. I still have it sitting in my Garage, I can't bring myself to sell it knowing it's such a POS

HOGRIDA06...why not sell the FP to David C for cost of shipping and see if it works better in his bike? Maybe you 2 could come to an agreement whereas if the FP performs good in his ride he'd pay such and such an amount for it...just seems like a waste having it sit there.

i have an 07 street bob with a thunderheader and a stage II air cleaner. I have a pcIII and I couldnt be happier. you have to have them professionally tuned, not like with the fuelpac, but the pc III can be fine tuned so that you get every little bit of power out of your bike. the fuel pac is like a bandaid, the pc III is a fix

Question: Is a Fuel Pack and relabeled Dobeck or is it its own unit?

I know on ATV's Dobeck lets lots of companies slap there name on there controllers and by lets them, I mean lets them pay.

The other thing is that in its stock configureation I notice some pinging from the engine during hard acceleration, should I take it to the stealer and have them reload the stock ECM first before adding a fuel management system or will the Fuelpak or PC III fix this anyway? I like to do all the work on the bike myself and hate having to take in in to have someone else work on it so I am looking for a fuel management system that is easy for DIY mechanic.

I did the same thing... V&H SidesShots with a K&N High Flow air Filter and a V&H FuelPack and the bike runs GREAT. I did have trouble installing the FP due to the area you have to set it up, there are a lot of wires in that area and got frustrated so i took it to a local shop and they installed it for me for $60...
