If you got the PCV from fuel moto and told em you had a canned map installed from the dealer, they added a map for that application.
I have been using a pcv for 5 years with on ill response.
They are easy to remove.
The Dana's must be different than the touring bikes. I just added one to my 2012 SG and all I had to do was not to connect the 02 sensors, no eliminator was needed or included.
Big improvement, a lot less heat, and my mpg is still good.

Thanks for everyones input. I did put it on and noticed more popping than when I didn't have it on. Am I supposed to install the o2 sensor bypasses also? Also with the stage 1 ECM upload from Harley, is that going to be an issue with the PCV on?

The pc can be configured to work with the stage 1 ecm but dynojet/fuelmoto needs to know specifically that u r doing this. I adjusted it myself, but lots of people seem to have good experiences calling them for fine tuning too.
Also, the HD tuners 'marry' to your specific bike. That alone was enough to turn me off to their product. I love my pc3

The PCV is not the best choice in tuners because it stays on the bike. There have been many issues from owners after thier bikes got wet or just plain out failing. You already bought it so you may as well use it.

I picked up a 1ft usb extension cable also, because yanking it out of there every time to reprogram is a bitch.
Finally, small comfort but i wrapped my pc3 in cellophane and duct tape. Not bulletproof, but an improvement. Also silicon sealed the extension cable to the device.
It is a pain in the *** in there, and the poster who mentioned the superiority of tuners you dont have to mount like this does have a point. Still, i prefer this way- now i can pop off my seat, extension cable is right there and plug in the laptop. Easy mode.

Yes install the bypasses, and I had my bike in for warranty work and no one said **** about my pcv.

Also, anyone out there reading this who is considering the PCV. BUY IT FROM FUEL MOTO....their customer service and knowledge is awesome. If you buy from them you will not have any of the problems or confusion that the OP is describing because fuel moto will help you every step of the way. They will map it for your setup, and they will stick with you until everything is 100% right.
No disrespect to the original poster, but I hate to see threads that make a good product seem sh!tty simply because the poster lacks directions or purchased their product used at the swap meet and now they want to know why it isn't working.
Are there better tuners out there???? Hell yes there are.....but for guys like me running simple mods like pipes and A/C, the PCV is more than adequate.
Rant over...
