Default SERT vs Power Commander

I installed Rinehart True Dual to my FLHRSIS. Which should I use, Power Commander or the SERT?

I had a PCIII and recently had a SERT installed. You will need a dyno tune so that adds to the cost. Got the SERT on Ebay for $240 (great deal). If you use Ebay, be sure the buy from a reputable Ebay store. The SERT must be NIB because it only works on one bike.

My bike ran good with the PCIII but it runs even better with the SERT. I also like that I don't have to install anything or bypass the O2 sensors. The SERT simply allows you to reprogram the ECM.

Just my 2 cents.

IMO the SERT is more tunable, but my biggest issue with it is,

YOU CAN"T DO IT YOURSELF!!!

I hate that s..t.

PC3 I will take 95% tuned and the satisfaction of $500 in beer and good times - and that is only for each tune (which you will need with each new mod)

I was fortunate HD let me return my SERT,i told them that it wasn't user freindly like the parts person boasted,and that i wasn't going to pay them for a tune every time i change an engine or exhaust item on my bike!!I installed the PCIII myself in about 20 mins and have tweaked a few maps by myself.I'll pay for one good tune when i cam up,and i'll ask to get a peak HP/TQ map and a fuel econo map so i can switch up as needed.USB to my laptop and presto-change-o!!!!
