Default I bought an SE air cleaner... and now, what else?

After looking around a good filter for my '11 Forty-eight, last week I was on Holidays in London and I visit Warr's (London and EU oldest dealer).

I bought an Eagle Screeaming Air Cleaner with is cover.
The parts are :

29000009 Screamin' EagleŽ Sportster Stage 1 Air Cleaner Kit - Round, Gloss Black
29400-08 Round Air Cleaner Cover - Black

Now, I read a lot about and many many people recommend to buy an EFI Module to correct the Gas/o2 mixture cause it will to lean.
I living in Europe and many now that due EU Environmental rules they come out of the factory already lean even without changing the exhaust or filter.

I getting mad to know will be the appropriate module to add.
V&H Fuelpak seams to be for me the more easy to install and configure but I read that many in the forums had problems.

Power commander 5 it complicate for me to install, is more expensive and I don't like they unplug and bypass the lambdas.

Power Vision looks nice, but is too expensive only to remap for a air cleaner change.

SERT or SEST, here where I live they ask me a fortune to do it.

How can drive me thought this very difficult choice?

Please anyone can help me?
I'm really lost.
Reading and reading around, many people said that FuelPak is not that good.
So like I'm a newbie or I go to a dealer and remap with S.E.S.T or one option can buy the Dynojet Power Vision and download a map in Dynojet site and upload to my ECU.

I not so able to install complicated add-on ECU like Power commander 5 or thunder max. I now that are maybe better but I'm not so good and I'm scare to do a mess.

Thanks
Marcello

If you still have your stock exhaust you DO NOT need to change anything else. If you modify or have modified your exhaust then you will have to do something with your fuel mixture because with both AC and exhaust flowing more air through your engine, the engine will run lean.

There are many threads on here talking about what the options are. The cheapest option that seems to get good reviews is the XIEDS from Nightrider.

Default Hi Mich

Thanks for your answer.
I have already SE Slipons installed since when I bought last year the bike.
Last week I bought SE round Stage 1 AC.
So I should have more or less the same that you.
I will exclude the Xieds, cause is a passive element.
Also you have to think that living in Europe the gas is little bit different (quality and price).

I read a lot of this topic but I can find a good solution for my doubts.

Now the to options that I'm considering is to go to a Dealer (quite expensive) and ask to install the S.E.S.T to change the AFR map or buy the Dynojet Power vision that do almost the same.

you do not want the SEST if it is even available. Now they offer the SEPST screamin eagle pro super tuner. I bought mine off ebay with cables and software for about $500. It will allow you to change any part of the tuning for your bike. It sounds intimidating but using the smart tune feature and reading the SEPST thread (there are some great AFR tables that you can use to richen your afr) it is very easy.
My dealer wanted $300 for a one time stage one download or $1000 for a dyno tune ( $600 for the SEPST and 3 hours on the dyno) it was way cheaper and more satisfying to do it myself and when you buy the software cd it comes with the stage one download to start with, yes the same download my dealer wanted $300 for with no sepst.
