So, now almost a year later I guess I really should come back and report what I did, why I decided the way I did and how I feel about it.

Budget and 'Best being the enemy of good' I went with the FP3. All I read seemed good, the features were simple enough. I messed with the demo mode and it looked 'good enough'.

I've had a few hiccups over the year, but nothing really major, nothing I haven't overcome and nothing that would dissuade me from recommending an FP3 to someone else.

I must also state, for the record, that I bought it before realizing that Wide Open Cycles is literally minutes from my house. Had I known that, I would have popped around and gotten HarleyTuner's advice directly, probably ended up with a TTS and a dyno-tune and less stress in the long run. Sadly, I still have not stopped by, making me a schmuck for sure.

So, here's my report:

My first issue was figuring out a tune. Because I have a Bassani exhaust, V&H didn't have a ready made map for me. I chose some V&H pipes that looked similar to mine and started there. It ran decently to begin with, but there was a lot of pop on decel and between shifts.

So, I started Autotuning. This took me a little learning and a few sessions to figure out what I was doing and how the thing worked with my bike... Eventually, I came up with a map that was halfway decent. Eventually V&H updated firmware a couple of times, then updated the iPhone app and gave more control and a few more options.

I have been having a few electrical issues with running lights and low batteries. The FP3 has been invaluable in reading and clearing trouble codes! But, the other day it became a victim of said battery issues... I have it back on my bike this Spring, connected under the seat. I am getting ready to do a little more autotuning as the weather changes. My bike hiccuped on a ride yesterday afternoon (It had been acting a little strange from the low battery stuff) and I think I somehow lost the tune or map. My bike would not idle. Every time I slowed to a stop at a light, it would die. I found a gas station parking lot and turned everything off. Turned the bike back on and opened up the iPhone app. It looked like it had gone back to the stock map, or something... So, I reapplied the autotuned map I had before and this fixed it. I had a little popping on decel (not a lot, just a touch) and went through the app to the decel pop fix thingamajig... Sure enough, it was turned off. I know I had it on before, but reapplying the map may have wiped it (except it's been popping the same since I started her up this Spring). Dialed in a little 'stop the pop' setting and It ran great the rest of the way home.

I will probably run a couple of autotune sessions and take it back off of the bike. I really had it on there to help with the trouble codes and stuff. Now, it seems it's just crappy batteries causing me issues.

There are a number of things I like about the FP3, specifically the live sensor reading and the rather simple interface. There are some more detailed tables and charts I can drill down into. But knowing I know very little, I don't futz! And, it didn't cost THAT much. It has been reliable and easy to set up. So, all in all, no complaints.

As WideOpenCycles said, some of just want to ride. The FP3 has been pretty close to simple enough to let me do that.
