Put one on my 07 Road Glide. Did not like the unit and really was disappointed in the lack of support. They were not willing to discuss what each of the settings. I replaced it with a Power Commander III which I bought from Jamie at Fuel Moto www.fuelmotousa.com. I really like how easy it is to use and make adjustments.

2008. Again, it still feels very hot, but I have no before / after temperature measurements to let me know if the V&H changed anything. Others on the forum that understand the EFI better would more more appropriately comment, but I still think that even with the V&H fuel-pak you are still keeping it to the factory 14.7 to 1 fuel ratio (at least during closed loop operation) so while the Fuel Pak makes sure that the bike runs correct with the open air clearner and after-market pipe, correct is still defined as 14.7 to 1 and is therefore still lean. It is the 14.7 to 1 leanness that makes the heat, so if the FuelPak doesn't improve that then how could it make it cooler? BTW, I could be completely wrong on all this technical stuff, all I know is the bike still is hot..could be less hot that it was before but it is still hot.
Would anybody say it is true? If so, it appears that you cannot set that up on the Fuelpak?

My previous '05 would almost literally cook my leg in stop/go traffic...the heat would get to the point that I thought my leg was sure to blister. My current RK doesn't get anywhere near that hot. If it's putting out the same amount of heat, it's doing a good job of hiding it from me...

I got this from V&H about the air/fuel ratio:
"The Fuelpak changes the air to fuel ratio to 13.8 to 1 . This is considerably richer than stock which is 14.8 to 1."

First off, I am not a mechanic. I don't pretend to be. In spring of 2006 I bought a 2006 Dyna Super Glide. After the 1000 mile check I bought V&H straight shot slip ons a K&N AC and the V&H Fuel Pak and installed them myself. The bike ran strong with no decel popping. I sold it to a riding buddy who has been riding it for 2 years now with no problem. I'm looking at buying a 2009 SG or EG Classic. I plan on installing V&H Big Ovals and a K&N AC and Fuel Pak again.
