With all the talk of tuners mainly the 3 most popular. Some love'em and some hate'em. I've never really seen to much talk of V&H Fuel Pak. Is it any good or are there more horror stories. Trying to decide which one to use is difficult. When your on a limited budget I only want to buy 1.
Thanks.

Way too many horrow stories in my experience. We quit even selling them because of the unresolved issues.

I put the Cobra model with the O2 sensors on my rocker last year and it runs great, easy to install and very reasonably priced. My brother has the same on his 09 heritage and my cousin has it on his Ultra. All 3 run great and we have had no issues.

I just ordered a power vision, so I'll let you know how it goes in about a week.

Guy,

I've been using the V@H Fuel Pack on a 2002 Fatboy for over 3 years. Changed pipes twice and re-mapped accordingly. Product is very easy to install and easy to program without the need of a laptop. V@H Tech support was helpful when contacted. I can't say that the Fuel Pack is the best product on the market but it is adequate for a stage 1 tune. In my opinion, its simplicity is a desirable quality. You can install, program, and be back in the saddle in 30 minutes with only a screwdriver.

I have a 2010 Fatboy Lo and I have a V&H fuel pak because I see no bore kits in my future. No problems here. I have been running it for only about 2000 miles however. Not sure about long term yet but I have no plans of buying something different anytime soon.

I have a FuelPak that I ran for the first thousand miles or so, worked pretty darn good. I decided to upgrade to the Power Vision so I could boink around with tuning.

For just a stage one, inexpensive, quick FM, the FuelPak ain't bad. I'll sell mine if you're interested. I don't have the original box but I have the paperwork that came with it. It's less than a year old. Shoot me a PM if you are interested.
