Too bad. Imagine that... a Harley dealer blames it on an aftermarket product.

I have installed a screamin eagle heavy breather filter, and bike runs fine for two days then some problems started,
When bike is at idle, revs down and the engine stops, and it take about 15 secs or more to cranking before the engine starts
But the bike runs fine when I drive it without problems
I changed both spark plug just to take it out of my mind

Can I use your help guys, I want to take it to the dealer, but they are not very good at fixing in my area

My 07 Softail used to run like that after a long slow ride around town when it was stock. I couldn't see paying out that kind of cash on a SE Tuner (only the dealer could work on) so I went with a PC from fuel moto and haven't had any issues. Now as I modify the bike I can change the settings myself (or get help from fuel moto). without costing $$$ each time.

I've been to your local HD Dealer when I was in Dubai. I agree with you, they couldn't diagnose their way out of a wet paper bag.

The only reason I mentioned unhooking it was to isolate the problem. I understand that the FuelPak can be somewhat difficult to work with. If the OP needed help in retuning the FuelPak at least he would know that is what the issue is and not a problem with the bike itself. But it is predictable that a dealer would do what this one did.

I thought having the power commander before getting the SE eagle tuner
But the dealer offer me a very cheap tuning 30 dollar every time the bike need any tuning, so i choose the SE tuner

Thanks guys
