PC no good!? News to me!
If these are only mods you're gonna do, a Dobeck/Techlusion DFO is a good option. Very simple and effective for basic mods.

I heard it today when I went to the Harley shop to order the air kit, they said that the latest model I think 3 was no good on harleys. I used to have one on my sportbike no problem just curious what other brands people are using

Harley shop is trying to sell you their race tuner. Latest PC is not the III it is the V. Or you could go with Power Commander's Power Vision that gives you more control.

If I had it to do again, I'd probably go Power Vision...
