fuelpak ?
2008 superglide K&N air filter, rush slipons, xieds runs well except for a very minimal surge at 10to20 mph being 69 years old I"m not looking for crotch rocket performance,but would like to make the bike run right,and make the surge go away .thinking the fuelpak would be the easyest and cheapest way to go,they have a map for this system. would like to know if anyone has this setup and how it performs,

it's going to run you about 500 bucks to have it run like it should. The fuelpack may be a tad better (or a tad worse) why keep spending money on parts that make it a little better. Just run the XEID's until you have 500 bucks then we'll talk...
It's not just about getting the most horsepower out of your bike....A well tuned bike will just cruise so much better, night and day difference. I also find I use 6th gear more now.
I would think that a well tuned bike will last longer but that is just my opnion

I just did a simple stage one but did have it dyno tuned because I found one of the best tuners around just 10 miles from my home. I too had slight surging that really bugged me and I really couldn't use 6th gear unless I was going at least 70-75 without lugging it. The overall driveability of the bike is night and day. For that one reason it was worth every penny. Let alone, he squeezed 80 hp out of my stock motor.
There are some great tuners on the market. If you like to tinker yourself, look into the TTS. Many people here are tuning it themselves...it's more user freindly then the sertpro. Another option, if you find the right dyno operator, dynovision has a deal where you can "use" the dyno tuners tuner and pay a one time license fee of $150.
You py the operator 300 bucks to dial it in and for total of 500 bucks you have a bike that bike that runs at its best.

I have been running the FuelPak for quite a while now. Not the same setup, not using Xieds either. It was running good and then I added SE255 cams. Now it runs GREAT! V&H had a map that included all of my mods. People said it would not work or run like crap. It is not worth Dyno'ing, but there is no popping or pinging and it goes like HE double hockey sticks.. I can keep up to my buddies Rocker C with a tuned full blown 103.

The great part about fuelpak is you can get them for $100 all the time on ebay or on here. I ran one for a couple of years, it was great. On a mostly stock or stage 1, I think it is a great little unit.
I would not buy one new, dollar for dollar there are better options. However, used prices it is the way to go. Many people want to tinker with everything, so they find a reason to sale thier fuelpak and get something they can tinker with.
I have an 06 model, so when I did my bigbore and cams, I went with a ThunderMax tuner. It is awesome, but they are about $800. A stock motor is not worth an $800 tuner or a dyno tune.
