&nbsp\\;I have decided to do a HQ 103 this winter, I have no problem at all with the mechanical end of the project but I am a bit of a computer retard, I do have a friend that is a computer tech.
&nbsp\\;What I am interested in, is hearing what is involved in&nbsp\\;getting the bike set up after the biuld.
&nbsp\\;I know people here will say to call HQ's but I would like to hear first hand what you encountered setting up the computer&nbsp\\;on the bike.
&nbsp\\;I will talk to HQ when I get closer but I really like hearing&nbsp\\;first hand experiences, and I'm sure this is there busy season and I don't want to waste there time yet, when you guys can quite possilbly&nbsp\\;answer this question.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;

What tuner do you plan on using? SERT or other? Also do you plan on using an auto-tuner in place of the SERT or in conjunction with it.
&nbsp\\;
If you plan on using the SERT it is relatively easy to load a tune into the bike. As for tuning it you can make some adjustments by checking head temps and a lot of test riding. The best way to get the most out of it is to have it dyno-tuned however.
&nbsp\\;
I have a few maps that I have tried so far with my HQ set up. I am hoping to have the final dyno-tuning later this month. Depending on your AC and exhaust one of these may get you close.

 

dyno tune is the one place ill spend the dollars.

 

Give Kevin at HQ a call.&nbsp\\; Their busiest time is the is actually winter.
&nbsp\\;
Also, if you buy the kit from HQ directly, Kevin will help with the tuning, especially if you use a&nbsp\\;SERT.&nbsp\\;

 

I've been running a DTT TCFI-IID &amp\\; TCFI-III for quite a while. It is an "auto-tuner", BUT it can only do what YOU tell it to do. So.... if you don't give it proper input, it does not give you the best results.
&nbsp\\;
I am about to try a SERT - FINALLY! [8D]&nbsp\\; People far smarter than me have been encouraging me to give it a try for a long time. Now that I have found a tuner that I am comfortable with, I'm gonna give it a shot.
&nbsp\\;
As Carl mentioned, if you buy direct from HQ, they will give you a "starter" map for a SERT that will be reasonablly close.
&nbsp\\;
Bottom line, it's not that big's deal and there are plenty of us here that can help ya along the way.

 

&nbsp\\;I do have a SERT now,&nbsp\\;HQ's sight says that they have a something you add onto it and you have to use a computer to do upgrades&nbsp\\;or something, it's totally confusing to me.
&nbsp\\;Part of my problem is the only dyno within 500 miles of me is run by the local Harley dealer and I don't trust them to do a tune on a set up like this. They are not very nice people and pretty set in there ways.
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;

 

I'm not sure of what is confusing you.&nbsp\\; Kevin from HQ will provide you with a map&nbsp\\;to load to your ECM using your SERTthat does require a computer since the map is a computer file that must be transferred from your computer to the ECM via the SERT.
&nbsp\\;
HQ also sells a Pro-Tuner that permanently installs on the bike to maintain AFR to pre-determined values HQ has set-up for their buildscall Kevin if you want more details.
&nbsp\\;
If you call kevin, leave a detailed voice message of what you want to knowhe'll call you back.

I'm running a HQ 95" Touring build with SERT and their Pro Tuner. Last year when I did the build I consulted Kevin about a map to get me to close enough to ride it about 30 miles to the dyno. I had it tuned and was not very happy with the results. I took it to another place for some more tuning wich was closer but not quite right, I had some pinging issues. This winter I bought the Pro Tuner and had Kevin help me out with another map, I can say now I have what I wanted to begin with.
I did have to do some tweaking of the&nbsp\\;VE tables in the map to get it closer and now the Pro Tuner does the rest. The timing is pretty dang close, it has zero pining and seems to run&nbsp\\;100% better than what I had last year. Unless something pops up I'm not screwing with it anymore, it starts and runs pretty damn good. I echo what everyone else is saying about giving Kevin a call.

 

get the HQs 107 u wont b disappointed &nbsp\\;
