Anyone have any info/comments on the Cobra fuel management for a touring bike? I was set on buying a Vance and Hines Fuel Pak; however, I just heard about the Cobra fuel management. Interested to know if anyone is using it and if so, how it is working out. By the way, as you can see, I am new to the forum. Yes, I introduced myself in the newbie section. I've been reading the forum for about a year so hopefully I am up to par on the rules of engagement!
I just heard about it from a friend, have not had time to read up on it yet. As Jringo says another to add to the list of possible fuel management systems - what to do?????
If you use HD screaming eagle parts, then your dealer will sell you the $150 stage 1 download. If you install anything but HD pipes and air cleaner then you can buy a SERT and have your bike dyno tuned to get the perfect tune. If you aren't planning any major motor work in the future you will be all set.
I found a NIB SERT on Ebay for $230 rather then the $400 MSRP.
Or, you can buy a Fuelpak, PCIII, Cobra, etc and install a canned map and hope your bike it right. I know, that's what I did when I installed the PCIII.
Now, I've learned my lesson. How do I know the bike is right unless I have it dynoed??? Sure, the dyno costs money. I happen to have one of the best dyno shops in the nation near me in Portland. Latus Motors.
I have one on my bike, runs very well, very easy to use and adjust, they give you a sheet with what to set your pots to with the mods you have done. If you just like to install and run(plug and play ) this is for you Todd
