Default Custom Map?

Hi All,
Gonna be installing on my 05' FXDWGI; V&H Bigshots Staggered, Aness Big Sucker a/c, along with a PCIII.

There is no map at PC's site for such a setup and was figurin on using a softail map: 805-017, which is as close to as I can find.

Question is does anyone have , or know where I can find a map that might better suit my needs?

Or, am I relegated to use the softy map as a starting point and go from there?

Thanx in advance for any and all help

You should choose the one that is closest and go from there unless you can find someone with the exact setup you have and use theirs, assuming that theirs is a good one.

OK, here's where I'm at.
Got it all installed, useing the softail map for bigshots, screamin eagle a/c.
Seems to be running great, no leaks etc..
Only possible problem I may see is got the gold discoloring on the pipes about 4-5" from the head down. Probably is normal, havn't checked the plugs yet.
What ya guys think?

Plugs aren't going to tell you much with the unleaded gas, gold on the pipes isn't anything to worry about either, they'll turn blue next

Best way to go is a dyno tune to set it up with a custom map.

For me install Power Commander III and Dyno tune: 1 hr labor 75 bucks.

Gained about 2% increase in hp and torque with dyno over the download map.
