Exclamation what fuel programmer should i get? HELP

ok so this winter i put on samson street sweeper exhaust and some 14 inch wild one outlaw apes. now it comes time to get the bike tuned or buy a fuel programmer. i am leaning towards the fuel programmer becuase its cheaper and my bike isnt set up as a high performance ride etc etc. and i dunno if i will keep it much longer after this season.. thinkin of different rides already haha. anyways... my question to you experienced folk is.. Which programmer should i get. right now on decel its popping and what not. otherwise i didnt notice any power gain or loss with the swap of the pipes. it had screamin eagle slip ons before.

local dealer wants 6 hours of dyno time plus the cost of a programmer... so like 1200 bucks basically. other shops are a little cheaper but not much.

suggest away and maybe give a bit of feedback as to why you went the route you did.

thanks for your help.


EDIT *** the bike is a 2006 dyna low rider. and it has the stock baffles in it. (i knew i forgot something)

Are you running baffles at all? You also need to tell us what year.

If you want cheap go with Xied's, they are simple cheap and work. If you want control I'd recomend a Power Vision, no real need to dyno and if you sell your bike you can buy a second license for your new ride and use it on that too.

Edit: Just saw you had a 06 so the Xied's won't work.

FuelMoto has a power commander made for them and they will program it for you. About $250 for a PC III. Great service from these guys. The Power Vision is quite a bit more expensive, but will make a dyno run relatively unnecessary. I also ran a Dobeck TFI/DFO which is very simple and inexpensive.

Call Fuel Moto for a tuner. They are great people to deal with.

What he said.

I called ans they recommended their micro tuner since I only had plans for stage 1 mods. I couldnr be happier with my bike, and I didn't break the bank. Btw, u never said if u changed the ac out. If not, fuel moto usually gives u a bit of a price break if u get tuner and ac from them.
