Downloads are designed to be used with specific modifications, They do not offer one that is specific for the big radius.
You'd be much better off buying a power commander, they're adjustable, and they have some base maps you can download.

Download should be $150, that $250 if just the download is much too high. Call another dealer to verify this before giving them the extra $100

The download is for HD specific parts and would no doubt be off with those pipes.

Like extech said go with a PCIII. You can get one for about what you stealer quoted you for a stage I download.

Or drop the air cleaner and just install the pipes. Then you can run the stock map.

RE: Need Help Please

If pipes and A/C will be the only mods you plan on, take a look at the Terminal Velocity II. Its plug-n-play. Just install and ride and within about 50-75 miles it tunes itself. Its a little more pricey but no downloads or dyno time. I put mine on before I installed my pipes and it made a noticeable difference. Bike runs cooler with better throttle response and millage. PC III and fuel pak are good units, just a little more setup involved. This does the same thing with less time installing and making adjustments. Check them all out and make the choice that is right for you.

Go to http://www.nightrider.com/parts/and look at their plug and play. You retain your stock injection but this fools the computer into thinking your at 14.6:1 a/f ratio when your actually at 14.2:1. This will allow your engine to run cooler and the stock unit should compensate for the intake and exhaust changes as it does what the O2 sensors tell it.
