Default need advice!

ok, so I have a V&H big radius and screaming eagle air cleaner. I definately need fuel management. Here sthe question, I got a great deal on a V&H fuelpak which some people told me to get, but i been reading on here that it doesnt fit in the rocker or that it is difficult to make it fit properly(wherever it goes which i dont know yet). I went to the harley store to ask them how much to instal and they said they dont install those, they said they dino my bike and then do a stage1 tuning, this is going to run me 210 bucks which is what im getting the fuelpak for. I also heard that the fuelpak is better cause you get better performance. Im stuck in the middle with this, please help!

They (V&H) told me mine wouldn't fit either. I'd have to wait for the special X-bones model to come out, BS. I found one for the same engine/pipes/AC and made it fit. I had to mod the fuse holder a bit but it fits and fits well. The bike runs very well. Just mod your bike a bit. Don't be afraid to move things around alittle. Good luck.

I recommend the SERT. there is nothing to mount or hide. sure it cost more, but if you ever decide to upgrade your engine you will need the SERT and the download will be a waste of $$. never say never on the engine up grade, when I got mine I said I would never get a big bore kit. well I put my foot in my mouth
