I've had no issues with my dealer on my '14. FP3, V&H big shot staggered, and SE A/C installed by me

I had the dealer do the Stage 1 before even taking delivery of Reaper, back in 2005. Never had any issues with warranty work. Hell, Reaper's engine has been built (bored to 98", cams, head work, etc...) since 2007, and I never had any issues with warranty work after that either.

Cheers!

If your worried about the flash, can you flash the stock tune back into the bike in the dealer parking lot If you need warranty work. I'm not familiar with the fp3, but the powervision can do it in about 30 seconds.

Stage I with FP3 is easy. Be sure to use a torque wrench and follow the manual. You won't have any issues.

Thanks for the replies, now I just need to figure out what air cleaner and set of pipes would look good and sounds good on the bike. Any suggestions? 2016 heritage classic

Take a look at this FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION site that explains in simple language the Magnusen-Moss Warranty Act of 1975.


The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, is enforced by the FTC.

The FP3 will do that as well.
It saves a copy of whatever map is on the bike before it flashes for the first time...
