Default 48 tuner ???

My friend has a 48 with V & A slip-ons and a Screaming Eagle forward facing big sucker. He has not re-tuned the bike so as you can imagine it doesn't run great. The V & A FP3 and SE Supertuner are too expensive for him, however, It seems there are cheaper solutions such as the Arlen Ness Big Shot 2, Dynojet Target Tune and Accel Stealth Super Tuner.
Has anyone got any of these cheaper systems and offer any advice?
Many thanks

In your friend's situation I'd post up a 'want to buy' here on the forums and locate a set of used XIED's and run those until I could afford a proper tuner like the Power Vision. Even new, XIED's at DK Custom are not expensive...

another option is FuelMoto's Micro EFI. I have had it for a couple of years and its great.

micro tuner for sure way more map options or people seem to like a crobra fi2000 O2 simple adjustment and they seem to work. ebay has them for 214. what year 48? the FP3 only works for 2014 and up from my understanding.

The Arlen Ness Big Shot is re branded Dobeck Techlusion TFI. Techlusion re-brands their product for several different companies.
You can buy the Techlusion model cheaper directly thru them. They give HUGE DISCOUNTS for Military, Veterans, LE, & FD. Its a good product, work well, and I've had one of their units on a Kawasaki 1600 for ten years.

I'm currently running the FM Micro EFI on a 2014 Sportster Custom and very happy with the performance and price ($199). Great customer support.
