Default Question about 08 Train and Addons

Hey Guys,

Another quick question. I hear so many people say that the new bikes are lean from the factory enough to cause damage. This doesn't seem sensible that harley would make them lean enough to cause damage, but in turn it worries me. I am only going to add RUSH slipons, probably the 2.25 version to my new train.

Will it be ok in stock form or should I buy the SERT for it. PCIII is out of the question, had one and it was a POS.

If I had never changed a thing on myTrain I still would have added a fuel management system, because yes, the bikes run hot due to the lean mixneeded to meet EPA emission regs...

That said, any system is only as good as the person tuning it...A SERT is a good unit if tuned right...my PCIII was installed and dyno tuned bya Dynajet Tuning Center and it is no POS...best bang for the buck $$$ I've invested in my bike.
