I had a 2012 Fatboy, I installed V&H bigshot staggereds with a V&H VO2 naked intake along with a V&H fuelpak FP3 tuner. Bike ran awesome, deep bellowing sound, lots of power and most importantly IMO,virtually no decel popping. Buying all this on ebay with free shipping and avoiding sales tax I dropped about a thousand bucks for all this. The fuelpak FP3 is a very simple tuner that recalibrates your ECM, it is not a piggyback device, you get great results at an affordable price. Good luck.

notimeleft, thanks. I wondered if that loud sound would get annoying after a while. The big shots are a tad bit longer and perhaps easier on the ear on long rides. thanks buddy!

Hey man. If you can find a PCV for as cheap as notimeleft did buy it and forget about the Techlusion I recommended. I did not realize they were going so cheap now. You can find canned maps for your setup which will probably be fine for your needs. My point about dyno tuning was that to take advantage of the PCV's more powerful functions over the Techlusion you need a dyno tune. You will just have to spend a little time to learn how to use the PCV. Not hard and not a big deal but make sure you understand how it works before you go to changing things. But for $225 its a no brainer.

Thanks martin. Ive been checking those out online last day or so. One last question. Are these tuners easy to stash away under seat? I know I saw some that come with handlebar mounts but really don't want that taking away from the aesthetics of my bike.
