Daytona Twin Tec - For Your Bike

CHarley has one for his Sportster and has stated how fantastic it is. Hopefully he will chime in here and give you some more opinions.

One would assume that if your messing up controllers every year there is another issue

The stock nosecone modules on sportster have been problematic. They get too much heat down there and eventually fail. The stock ones tend to be hit or miss in this aspect. I haven't had any problems with mine, but I know some guys who have.

+1 on the Daytona Twin tec.
I did a lot of research...best bang for your buck. IMO

The SE nosecone modules have been discontinued because of the problems. I had one and it shut down on me going about 70MPH in heavy traffic, It was almost a deadly experience! Harley has not made a replacement for it yet that I know of.
