I have the Power Vision, I paid $400 for it but it will flash your ECM so it does not have to stay on the bike. It also works as real time gauges for different sensors in the bike and can clear DTC codes (hopefully never have to use it for that though). Mine is basically plug and play, Dynojet has preloaded maps depending on your setup and then you just plug in, flash, unplug, ride.

I have used the plug and play Cobra Fi2000R on four bikes. Very easy and quick install. I get them all at J&P but only when they are 10% or more off.
Around X-Mas and New Years, I watch for their one day sales like the black Friday sale. Last year they were 15% off on that day with free shipping. Missed it but the very next day they had a 20% off with free shipping and I snagged one.
Phat Performance is a good one for every day discount.
The programmer never needs a dyno or fiddling with downloading maps.
Got a cooler running motor, more pep and better mpg which I did not expect. I have them on three TC96's and one going on a 103.

Don't do it unless you know how to do it yourself. The $$ you spend to have someone else do it, who thinks they know how to do it, likely doesn't! Doesn't matter if they have that $20K Dyno in their shop, they won't spend the time necessary to do it right. I had two clowns do mine, Yuill Bros. in Reno and RC Cycle in Hayward, both are ****!
I have a 2011 street bob ,with vance and hines short shots ,fuel moto stage one breather and power commander 5,call fuel moto tell them the set up you want and they will send you a PC5 plug and play no need to dyno . My bike runs great no problems.

That is a powercommander IIIusb, with the fuelmoto name on it. You will need a dyno tune with that device and it would be "ok" at best. There are better, more capable devices out there.

I've heard real good things about Dobeck. The newest, (Gen 4) can actually be tuned ,"on the fly" right on their handlebar mounted AFR gage.
I ordered one, using another forum. Got $50.00 off and free shipping.
I've heard their tech support is great... We'll see.
Good luck with whatever you get.
