I was at HD the other day and they told me I should only do the HD Super Tuner because it's easier for them to dyno or some crap. I'm tired of them blowing smoke, but they did tell me I should wait until winter when go fast parts are cheaper. Still getting an A/C and fuel pack and doing it myself though.

DRwalkinboner,
I hear you they work hard to sell their own parts.... I need to apologize for miss stating that I though the "Fuel Pack" was better. The unit I was thinking about it the "power commander" there are some threads about that on this site. Also check out the link below.

again I am sorry for miss stating that.... Down the road if I decide to do cams and heads I will probably buy the power commander and take my bike to those guys. Its only about a 3 hour drive for me.

Right now I like DAVE has hit looking. I want a "sharper" looking leading edge like he has and not a fat round edge and I want something in black. If I am going to have to paint it my self then I might go Denim or satin on the entire head light area forks and all....

Let me know,
You can paint or you could have it powdercoated, which is what I did to mine
