Remap or SERT???
Got the SE slip-ons for Christmas. Going to get the SE air cleaner. I've done allot of research on the SERT and other fuel adjusters, for not to much more $, why not instead of just an ECM remap? What do you all think? Is it worth it? Thanks. Dave

RE: Remap or SERT???
It's only worth it if you are going to mess with the fuel map a lot. If you plan to do it once and leave it alone, then it is not worth it. I am also assuming that you will be happy with the Harley remap (may not be true).

RE: Remap or SERT???
If you are stopping at the Stage 1 air-cleaner, exhuast upgrade, the remap is a proven way to enhance performance. Sporty_2007 had great dyno results with his upgrades using the HD remap...I doubt if you'll do better (and could do worse) using a SERT (race tuner).
The SERT will allow changing the red-line (despite what many will try to say, the dyno results I have seen show hp increases to about 6500 rpm). If you don't mind spending the $, the SERT is the way to go. I am still awaiting the dyno repair at the dealer (the bikes still there!) so if you are open to waiting, I should have dyno results from my Stage 1 SERF (race fueler) route.

The cost was about a third of the Race Tuner costs when you consider the setup and tuning time associated with tweaking the SERT. I'd say the above is true...if your going stage 1 and you don't plan on mucking with the setup on a regular basis, then get the ReMap which works just awesome with a stage 1 kit. The only difference for me was that we installed the V&H slip ons which reportedly make slightly better power due to increased flow over SE exhaust. Thats still a debate at this point and I would think either exhaust will work fine. Let us know what you end up doing, and if you run a few dyno tests, be sure to post your sheets here.

RE: Remap or SERT???
When I had mine done back in November,(SE A/C and remap) I was quoted a price of $428 including labor, when I paid the bill I was charges $224, seems like they gave me the remap for free, ($149). Which I was very happy to pay, and it helped the performance of my scooter. Just wish I'd done the dyno, to see how much it improved.

RE: Remap or SERT???
I asked my local harley dealer about a remap for my '04 883 and they just laughed at me, stating that there is no such thing. ? So, can I do the remap for my XL883 that you guys are talking about or ?
XLOCD, your signature reminds me of a poster my dad had in his office before he retired. It said,
