When i picked up my 2006 fxdbi i had them put on the seII and se/ac and the download, my bike ran great. Some people have reported problems with backfiring but mine was great with no popping at all.

RE: race download on the 2006 bob ? who has it
thanks for the input..
i have has some popping issues with just my slip ons but it only seems to happen when i roll off the throttle hard . i do notice a little surging i have the 25* injectors already since i got my bike later in 06 .. I'm hoping the download does away with the slight popping and surging .. my question is can the bike be put back to factory specs if the race download is an issue

They would have to remap back to stock, I believe. I ran the SEIIs and hi-flo A/C for about 1000 miles with a download. I say "a download" because the bozos at my dealership never could tell me which one it was. It was alright and would probably suit your needs. I later installed a DFO and it runs slightly better, though. Plugs look great.

Im not sure if they can put it back to stock, i dont see why not its just a computer program. i really dont think you will want to once your done and if you could go back to stock you would be throwing the $200 you spent on the download. I really think you wont have that problem you will be happy with the download.

I have Screaming Eagle slip-ons and the Screaming Eagle Stage one A/C kit. I waited to put the A/C on until I had the funds to either do the racing download or a PCIII. The bike would pop on decell (not very often but it did happen occasionally). I saved up the pennies and got the racing download about a month ago and the bike pulls MUCH better. It doesn't pop anymore and I feel as if it even sounds better.
If you can't afford the PCIII and don't plan on doing anymore mods to the engine then I would recommend the download for you. It worked for me.

Does anyone have the part number of this 'race download' ?
How does it differ from the 'regular' download the Stealers usually load up with the SE Stage 1 kits ?
THANKS!

RE: race download on the 2006 bob ? who has it
I had the race download put in after about 1500 miles. The bike has always run strong since. My pipes are black and my plugs have never looked lean even after a 300 mile highway drive. Bear in mind there are several different downloads. I have a 2006 Low Rider with 25 degree injectors, AC Stage 1 and SE II slip-ons. I had the dealer give me the box that the program came in for my records. I'd be happy to pass along the numbers if you like. PM me.
