You probably have the active intake and exhaust actuators that will have to be bypassed or defeated. Here's a couple links from a European supplier for devices that do this.

The Power Commander should come with O2 sensor eliminators. They just plug into the wire harnesses that you will be unplugging from the O2 sensors.

Thanks for the input , Im starting to get second thoughts about the powercommander .. I went to the workshop(harley) today
for the firts service and he told me that the PC is totally crap! he told me thathad sereral bikes coming in runing like crap
using the powercommander he also toldme that you cant adjust the idle (among other things) with the PC. Offcourse he told me
i should use the SERT instead.. Is there any thruth in what he told me or did he just tryto sell me the SERT?.

Confused new guye.

There's a lot of truth in what he told you. With the Race Tuner you can adjust idle speed, cranking (starting) fuel, warmup enrichment, decel enleanment (to get rid of decel exhaust popping), accel enrichment, O2 sensor feedback, rev limiter to whatever you want it (not just 6500 like PC), plus you can disable the active intake and exhaust actuators without having to add more parts.
I've never had a PC, but I've read lots of reports on the forums about people having problems with them. Race Tuner is more versatile, lets you keep to O2 sensorsand doesn't add any more parts to your bike.

See your local dealer for the tuner, and mapping after you modify your bike

There are a couple versions of the Race Tuner. Part number 32107-01L, which is technically obsolete but still available, can be bought from several online outfits. Here's one ebay store I found that ships worldwide http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Screa...mZ200225534277
This version comes without the software and canned maps, but you can download everything you need from here http://www.sendspace.com/file/q7d973
You will also need cables with this version which are part number 32108-06. This version uses a serial interface to your computer and doesn't work well with Windows Vista if that's a concern to you.

The newer version is part number 32109-08 and I know nothing about it other than what I've read on the forums. It does use a USB interface and works with Vista, however.
You can Google both part numbers and read tons of information about them. Both versions have canned maps that you can install and tweak yourself, dealer not required.

I run the powercommander... it totally frees you from going to the dealer to make changes, and I've had no problems in over 25,000 miles with it.
