Default Fatboy Pipe/Intake/Map install

I am just about to get these part together to install on my 11 Fatboy. I would love to talk through the install pre and post to learn all the gotchas. Is this a good place?

All three should be fairly straightforward if the parts were made for your bike. I would guess less than 4 hours for everything if you take your time. You will need to be more specific if you have questions, but ask away.

Here is what I am getting:

http://www.jpcycles.com/product/451-037
http://www.jpcycles.com/product/402-795
http://www.jpcycles.com/product/402-464
http://www.jpcycles.com/product/4400281 For new pipes

I may put in quiet Baffs if I find I need to. A little deaper sound.

I read all the instructions and it seems very straight forward.

Should be straightforward. I would ditch the fuel pack and buy a Power Commander V. Only $50 more but much more versatile.

I just did the stage 1 got my set up from fuelmoto, took me about 3 hrs, take your time follow your torqe spec. pick set for gasket removal very helpful, little anti seize to slip the new gaskets in place,
fuelmoto sent the PC5 already mapped so it was plug & play no hassle I think the hardest part was removing the stock exhaust and all the brackets you wont need anymore.
