When I talked to Zippers at Sturgis they said probably around the 1st of the year but they have told us false promises before about this. Todd

I have sold over 350 now and have had one defective unit, never had one returned because it didnt perform. You have thirty days to run it, and get your money back it you dont like......not much to lose but a little time.

Thanks

Ihave tried the fuelpak and agree with most... it sucks! I bought an 02 removal tool from autozone and with a couple 6 inch extensions I had my sensors out in no time. the pipes I have on now are santee over unders. I had the bungs welded in at my indy for like 20 bucks, he even cut them out of my stock pipes.... thats what I call customere service. I also have the ness big sucker installed. The bike never ran well.... until..... I installed my THUNDERMAX. Install was a snap, had it in in just around an hour. The way it works is that you find a base map that is close to what you have and the autotune does the rest. Exhaust manufacturer is not key, only the style i.e...2-1, 2-2 and I believe with or without baffles does not matter. I havent had it on verylong, but it was incredible!!! Except that I am an idiot! I loaded the wrong map, one that had cam upgrade, and my bike still ran great. I was noticing a little hesitation in 6th, so I decided to check the map and guess what!? Yep, Im an idiot. Cleared the learned stuff and reloaded the new map and went for 20 mile ride, and guess what?! IT GOT BETTER!!! This week I am going to install my Klockwerk pipes and bub 7 mufflers and see what happens. I can't wait!!! Another cool feature I found out about is that YOU DONT HAVE TO HAVE IT DYNOED! If you have a lap top and a saddle bag or a way to secure you computer to the bike you can record a ride and send it, with any concernsto zippers to be analyzed. They will then give you some recommendations. Somebody was saying that they have them for sell pretty cheap, I got mine from cyclespot for 6 and some change with autotune. If he can beat or come close to that price I would get it from him. You know he rides or at least visits us that do. BTW, Im cashing in my extended warranty to give to my local indy, I know him and he knows me. Bro's take care of Bro's!!
You make it sound so easy. I'm real curious if the gas mileage has improved in the autotune mode. I remember a while back there seemed to be complaints that the mileage was in the 30's. Just wondering if they tweaked that problem out of the software and have improved the fuel mileage now.

Thanks...

I think they do have the fuel mileage issue worked out, with the new maps, 400-500 numbered maps they leaned out the cruise range for better mileage, I got between 40 - 42 when I keep it under 75 running map 425 in a road king, can get close to 50 at 50mph. Todd
