Default Rocker C- Assistance Needed

So, as u all know, customizing your bike is a nerve racking process when u constantly second guess yourself. I am beginning to narrow down my choices for the exhaust system. I am leaning towards a set of martin brothers medustas with a d&m spike series air cleaner. My next problem to solve is whether to install a power commander or the se race tuner. The tech at the dealer recommended the race tuner. I do not know much about these two and hope someone can inform me. thanks

I didn't choose either of them I went with the TTS MasterTune system because it does not have to be added to the bike and I can grow into it (from maps to special tunning). Great product with timely software upgrades available.

The Martin Brothers Medustas is a great choice for pipes and D&M makes some really beautiful air cleaners.

I think the biggest problem with the Power Commander is WHERE do you store the unit?? A few members have installed the PC, but it was a tight fit. Also make sure the PC is stored where it has no access to the elements (rain, wind, snow, etc...).

I went with V&H Big Radius with Big City baffles because I like the way it accents the lines and curves of the Rocker C. Just MHO.

I went with BR's and a big mistake (fuelpak). I heard great things about the PCIII however, local scooter works shop said to get the Screaming eagle unlocking the ECM for better tuning. For now...I guess I run lean but I dont give a crap, this winter I will get her dyno tuned.

I've used the TTS tuner on my bike since it first came out. Like the ability to self tune and graph improvements. Great product.

I got my Powercommander V to fit perfectly in the Rocker. The brain part is right next to the battery for easy access and the connections are squeezed under the battery housing. I can post pics if you're interested. Even has enough space for the Autotune units as well. Just takes patience, creativity, and small hands to get it right.

I went with the sert for the same reason dragon slayer went with the tts master tune. It doesnt stay with the bike and you can change it as you upgrade the motor.
