Out of those, only 1 is a tuner.

The other 2 are "piggy back" fuel management units.

To figure out what is best for you, there is a lot of research to be done.

I, for one, will always recommend a flash tuner. For an '09, I would look hard at either a Power Vision or a TTS Mastertune.

But if you are going to have it dyno tuned, the best thing to do is ask the guy that will be doing that for you which he recommends.

...and a bunch of us use the nightrider.com xieds- about $110.

Not a "tuner" they simply enrichen the mixture under most riding conditions, part throttle/ cruising

plug inline with the o2 sensors. ( 10 minutes)
make the mixture about 8% richer.
ecm is untouched
rev limit retained.
MPG will decrease by about 1 MPG

if you are not running a High Flow air cleaner, the best bang for buck is the Ness Big Sucker, about $120 on ebay from easternpc, get the chrome backing plate version

As my sig will say...thundermax solved all my problems and it has the capability to be changed (for free)if I ever want to try something else or upgrade exhaust or air filter. I won't have to go to a dyno and pay $300.

That being said I have a slightly used fuelpac for an 09 ultra I'll make you a deal on,,, nothing wrong with it, it was fine until I put in the cams. That was just a little to much to ask of it. Although the guys at Vance and Hines got it really close .

I went with Knightrider Vieds after looking at all the others. For $120 bucks and 30 minutes of my time, it was well worth it. Heat is totally gone and I picked up a few ponys in the process. Mine are set at the 75% setting. I have no plans to go beyond stage 1 and these were plug and play. Super easy to install.

I've been using my Power Commander V now for going on 5 years.
No issues.
I'm pretty happy with it.

Default Power Commander V

The Power Commander V from Fuel Moto is the best bang for the buck!
