Fuel Pak died
So I stop by this picnic on Saturday on the RK. When I go to leave the bike won't start, right in front of some guys who just love to bash Harleys. Long story short, my buddy who has a Fat Boy helps me and we figure out that the Fuel Pak just completely failed. Checked the settings; they were all fine. V&H says they will replace it, but I'm starting to reconsider switching to either the Power Commander or SERT. Any thoughts?

I have a Power Commander and wonder about the same failure. I guess you can always pull the plugs and bypass it.
Parts and electronics fail. No different than a bad coil on an older bike.
What can you do?

I've had my PC III for a little over two years. So far no problems (knocking on wood) and I ride in all kinds of weather...especially wet.
Supposedly if it were to fail, just unplug it and plug in the old one to get home.

In my opinion, go with the SERT. I have it on my bike and it works excellent. Also, I haven't heard of any issues like I have with the other manufactures. Go with the SERT. You will be happy you did.

Fuel Pack failure? That's unusual. I'd stick with the V & H Fuel Pack personally, but the SERT is certainly another good option.
