Install is a snap, toughest part is dealing with the added wire length, get some zip ties.

Can someone advise which would be best for my bike? 2012 iron with 1200 upgrade, SE heavy breather, rough crafts exhaust. I am running the x14ied and I noticed a little change the first 100 miles or so. Should I have gone with the xied or vied instead? I'm not too sure the differences aside from the vied being adjustable. I know that after my bike is warm from riding, at a stop light with the clutch pulled in, thr bike idles around 950ish to 1030ish. Please advise. Thanks

As it's adding more fuel, the fuel economy will be worse even at normal speeds compared to stock....is this right?

The change will be very small bro, my bike has o2 eliminators and I still get about 45 mpg. I'm getting the vied in two weeks and I'm anticipating getting the same mpg i am currently.

You can get the x14ied or the xied, on the website it has a year and model selector for you're bike to look up the exact one you need

What's the difference between the X14IED and the XIED? When I looked all I noticed was X14 was sold out, lol.

Your idle sounds fine. I have the same upgrade on my 2010 Iron (minus the pipes) and I idle at the same range.

Can't help you on the ied's as I had my bike dyno'd with a TTS Mastertune.
