Default Fuel Management Systems?

Which are the best ones to use on a Harley Iron?

I found the Dobeck TFI Fuel Controller- is that a good one?

I've run the Dobeck TFI on my Vulcan 1600 for over 10 years. Good product, they support veterans, military, and LE with huge discounts. Great company to do business with.
The only drawback with their product is the map is the same for both cylinders.
FuelMoto Micro EFI at $199 maps each cylinder seperately, 3 stored map positions, and adjustable on the fly. Unlimited map support and great customer service.
Best EFI tuner for the money IMO.

I have the Dobeck EJK gen 3 controller on my 2013 '48.
Very simple , effective , good performance and fuel mileage.
Mine is the one with the oxygen sensor bypass # 9120306.
I would love to play with a power vision or SE race tuner , but the cost is a bit much at this time.
Great discount for military veterans.
Works well.
Mick

It's tough to beat Dobecks Military, Veterans, Fire, & LE discounts.
They do make a great product that is simple to use and setup.

Default Took the plunge

Products Ordered:
Quantity: 1
Part Number: 9120265
Product: Harley Davidson Big Twins 1995-2005
Cost/Unit: $250.00

So Been looking at tuners and went to the stealership $525.00 cdn and $400.00+ dyno time. = $1,000.00+

So next best option was the Dobeck.

My bike has stage 2 with 203 cams, propipe, SE K&N with Dealer flash. It farts, pops, skips a beat and surges. Sounds like a price of **** but it goes very well. Had it on the dyno 64 @ rear wheel Torque 70.8 ( rear wheel HP!) Runs very rich on full power so lots to gain there. They said if we did a dyno tune we could pick up 8+ hp easy. We will see what the Dobeck does in a couple weeks when I'm back on the dyno after having them help me tune it in. Great support and they will help you, these guys know customer support. I was going to get the top of the line but they said I don't need it. WTF telling me to spend less got to love them. I'll post my dyno sheets when I get the new run done.

Went with a flash tuner...Powervision with Autotune. You can run the basic for stage 1 upgrades or the advance (Pro) for upgades beyond stage 1 which requires the Autotune Pro Kit. Purchased the basic from DK Customs and obtain tech support (tune support) from FuelMoto. Both have excellent customer service.

Another vote for Powervision. Expensive but worth it!
