The Fp3!!! You are using v&h pipes so the map was made for those pipes on that bike! Its just like getting your bike dynode with out someone red lining your bike 40 or 50 times.
I have the fp3 and first I had slip-ons from V&H the map I down loaded was perfect!!! Then a year later I changed to V&H true duals, I just took the Fp3 off my shelf down loaded the map and flashed the bike!! Again it runs great, spins up quick, pulls strong all the way up, no decel pop and it runs cooler. I could not ask for more!!

Shouldn't this be FuelMoto PowerVision or V&H FP3? Seems like an obvious question that you asked...the one I asked is a little more complicated.

In my opinion it all depends on where you're planning to go.

A FuelMoto Micro is what $200 and the FP3 is $360?
Is a FP3 going to give you $160 more performance?

If you're only going to Stage 1 from what I've read anything other than a fuel tuner is a waste of money because you'll never see the benefits of a full tuner.

I ran into a guy at Sturgis this year where-as he had a FP3 on his softail and his Wife had a FP1 on hers.
He stated that his bike ran the same with the FP3 as it did with the FP1.

Note that both bikes were only Stage 1.

Get the FP3. You can do so much with it; all by the ease of your smart phone.

well, just had the micro tuner installed and let me tell you it's not so plug in play that's for sure. you have to jump into the throttle body wire. and you gotta lift the tank up to get to it. bike runs and sounds good, but holy crap what an ordeal.

That's another reason why I like the Fuelpak - it sounds like the FuelMoto unit is a full-time piggyback install - the FP3 isn't.
Plus it's very active as far as development goes, they're constantly releasing new firmware updates with more and improved functionality...

True the FP3 doesn't have to stay on the bike, but it's tiny, mine slides down right near the battery, I leave it on so I can use the real time features.
