Default Need help !!

08 FatBob, have had it since new. V&H Big Radius 2-2 pipes put over 20,000 km on it never missed a beat. This spring installed an RSD a/c and a PCV. Put another 1200 or so km on it so far. Today after about 20 mins of riding, it developed a hesitation just off idle. No tach so guessing it happens about 1500-1900 rpm, less than 20% throttle. Dumped the program in the pcv and re-loaded it, no change. Had the PCV hooked to laptop with bike running so I could use the tach feature, and my guess of rpm's is close. Sure blows black when you snap throttle from idle, leading me to believe it is way rich. So I loaded the "zero" program and no change.
Never ridden in the rain with the pc so connector are dry, well greased with di-electric. Any thoughts to my rambling??
G.
