Well got them in the mail Friday and installed them Sunday morning...but it rained all day long.....so maybe a chance to ride today...if the weather clears up. All in all it was a 10min job. I went ahead and on the front cylinder I removed the front plastic deal that holds the connections and drilled 2 small holes in it to zip tie the new connector. I like it to look clean. Looking forward to the ride and I will report back with results.

All good info so far. We need to keep this thread going so more guys can chime in with their results. For around $100 this seems like the best "bang for the buck" but I too am still a little sceptical. I for one love the MPG I'm getting and dont want to sacrifice any of that. Their website also mentions a couple of fault codes that may pop up but not to worry. It's always something.

I have stated before (garnering much flack for it) that I'm not a fan of Xieds because of the fixed signal they send to the ecm, negating its ability to adjust. Still I'm hoping to learn from any real world data on the subject
I have never got a fault code. The code they talk about many get without doing anything. Harley has a service bulletin to ignore the code.

I'm not an expert, but I believe your wrong on that. XEID's are nothing more then a resistor to trick your ECM into thinking its not giving enough fuel. The ECM should still adjust exactly like it always has except it will be giving out more fuel.

Just as an aside to all this I have gone off on a reading tangent on the EFI tuner subject and found this; https://www.hdforums.com/forum/tourin...rpro-test.html
Very interesting indeed. Again my problem with Xieds was a perceived (on my part) lack of sophistication and my problem (fear?)with tuners is that any attempt on my part at rocket science will eventually end up as a screw up.

That's why I like the XEID's, because everything works exactly the same except you get more fuel. I am leary about a tuner that I would have to disconnect my O2 sensors. The XEID's go between the O2 sensor and the EFI and like I said they are nothing more then a simple resistor.
