I just ordered the Power Vision and the Dynojet Auto Tune yesterday from Jamie at Fuel Moto for my 2012 FatBoy Lo. With the AutoTune you don't need to Dyno it ever again, even if you add other engine stuff on.
Call them first before you order your pipe.

I also ordered my pipe yesterday. You need the 18mm O2 sensor ports on your pipe if you go with the Auto Tune. The stock standard ones on the 2012's is 12mm.

Moog5050 sold me his RSD Black Ops High Flo air cleaner and some mirrors.

I can't wait till it all comes in so I can get it on my bike.

Jester750, That's awesome!!!! How much did everything cost? I was told to stay away from the PV and auto tune because they are very new and need time to work out all the kinks. My local shop was going to sell me a PC5, installed and dyno tuned (both cylinders) for 525 out the door! That's why I am waiting for the PC5 to come out for my bike. The PV and auto tune are going to be much more expensive right?

Which pipes did you order? Must be exciting man!! Good luck.

I have had the PV for my 2012 Lo for almost two weeks now, and so far so good. I have two maps, and am waiting for a third. I also have V&H BSS and a V&H intake that I have had for over a month now. 2-4 months for their Radius pipes is a long time. hopefully it won't be that long for you. I have some other smaller mods that I ordered for 2011 models that fit no problem. Waiting for new stuff definitely sucks...

Neekster,
The Powervision seperate, was $499.
The Autotune seperate, was like $339 which to me is like the price of getting 2 dyno runs done.
Because I bought them both together, I got the Powervision & Autotune for $790 and change + S/H .

I plan on doing other things like maybe cams and stuff in the future and now it will just re-tune itself instead of me having to wait and then pay to get it dynoed each time I do something to the bike.
I went with the RB Racing LSR 2-1 pipe it was like $800
As far as pipe choices:
I believe Reinhart and Samson also have pipes out for our bikes already.

going to have to sell a bunch of them before they will have many options available.
curious to what a 2013 switchback is going to have on it.
Where did you find a batwing for your Switchback?
