PV1 has the 4-pin connector on the cable.

PV2 has the 6-pin connector.

No other differences.

Check your diagnostics port to be sure whether it is 4 pin or 6 pin, or just check the Power Vision website (the Breakout is 6-pin).

You likely missed where I said earlier in this thread that this Corbin seat is a "one-piece" seat - the rider and passenger sections are NOT separable.

This is what makes the installation so clean and so strong compared to separate rider and passenger seats.

That really is a bummer. They limited their market by going that route.

6 pin connector is for can bus bikes. All Softails after 2011 are can bus so they use a 6 pin.

They do offer solo seats and separate passenger pillions too, I think. I just wasn't interested in those.

I'm pretty sure they only have the one like yours, and the big *** couch one. Unless they offer stuff not on their site, but I haven't seen a solo on a Breakout from them yet. They actually make a real cool one for Blacklines.

thanks Jim, I would need the 6-pin then. I'm just putting big radius on the stock cvo. is there a set program to download for it or do I have to build it?

Generally, if you do not intend to hire a human tuner to build a tune using the device, you find and download a suitable tune from either the Power Vision website or somewhere else.

Even a pro human tuner starts with a downloaded or saved-from-previous- bikes-tuned tune, and then dials it in cell by cell using a dyno (each cell is the intersection of a throttle % setting and an engine rpm, in a fuel table). You could simulate that at least roughly by adding an auto tuner module, but I keep hearing from some very experienced tuners that an auto tuner simply cannot yet match what a truly experienced human tuner can do.

I didn't want to try to teach myself to tune a Harley, as I have only this ONE TIME need for the skill set! So, I paid a world class human tuner, Mike Lozano, to tune my Breakout, using the PV2 as the access tool to do so. Mike is experienced on both the HD Super Tuner Pro and the PV (and a while bunch of car tuners), but prefers the PV. I consider the money I spent with Mike to be the BEST investment I have made on my motorcycle.

The PV also makes it easier to later make changes, like correcting the speedometer after you change the primary or final gear ratios.
