fuel controller for stock exhuast??
can someone correct me if im wrong, because i get different answers from everyone..
i have stock exhaust on my 09 streetbob, took the baffles out then just the muffler tips, sounds awesome but i was told i need a fuel controller. .. and thats it? just plug it in and change the fuel air ratio? is it that simple? i found this one on amazon for $170 :::

You don't need a tuner, especially if the bike is running well. One thing to keep in mind is that it runs lean from the factory and you could probably use one of the XIED's from Nightrider to richen it up a bit. It will run a little cooler and might help the rideability in some areas. They don't cost a lot and are easy to install.

didnt change air intake...
it runs great, and everyone says "your bike sounds awesome and good"
dude at harley said i need a tuner asap or it will ruin my bike and ill be stuck with a huge paperweight.
only thing ive noticed since changing anything is it backfires when i let go of throttle and dont pull clutch in.

No tuner needed, even if you change air intake (maybe, see American Iron magazine AFR & dyno tests). However, IEDs are a nice cheap fooler device to get you a bit more fuel. Though it is not usually done, a person could put a tuner on a bike that is stock or lightlly modded in order to get it out of the lean cycle newer bikes run in. Argument would be that it would be a waste of $, but I am not convinced that there aren't a few horsepower and better running to be obtained by developing a new map for a stock(ish) bike.
