I'm looking at getting a 09 softail custom. I had one dealer tell me it has EITMS and another one tell me it doesn't. Is this just available for touring bikes? I thought I read somewhere that this is now a dealer enabled option for 09 softails. Sorry if repost.

I wouldn't worry about it. Sooner or later your going to be looking for a way to upgrade the ECM or reprogram/remap the stock unit for aftermarket engine upgrades. Like pipes, intake etc.

I'm not sure everyone's on the same page so far.

I think what the OP is referring to is the system that shuts the rear piston down when the bike is idling.

I was only aware of it being available on the 09 touring models. I have not heard of it being made a dealer install option
