Which would you use?
I have both a pair of Xieds and a Fuelpak. Which would you use? Looking at the fuelpak it appears to be manufactured on the cheap, I mean the case of the module is cheap looking. The module looks as if water could possibly enter into it and the plugs look not so water tight as well. Anyone had issues of water entry with the fuelpak? Also the fit of the fuelpak will not work for me as V&H says it will. I will have to modify it a little to make it fit under my side cover, but I can make it work. As for the Xieds, well I don't know much about them.

I've been running a fuelpak for 3 years with no problems what so ever. Never had a water issue with the cover or connections, and I've had the cover on and off quite a few times. I used o ring lube on the cover and dielectric grease in the connections.
BTW the Fuelpak is a piece of cake to program and the tech guys are helpful as well if you have a set up not covered in the manual. No fitment issues on an '05 RK.
Never heard of a Xieds so no help there, sorry.

when you get into the for sale part of the forum, you'll likely find a few sets of xieds for sale, as they are basically a resistor inline for the o2 sensors that cheat the ecm to where it richens the mixture a bit. for me, i just went with the real deal, and through fuelmoto the pc-v really wakes up an otherwise stockish bike. all i got is rinehart slip ons, the se air cleaner, and the stage one download, i like the power commander 5, and through fuelmoto it will come mapped for your application, easy as pie. just my 02sense.

Been running xied's for over a year with no problems. had pclll before that always dumped map for some reason. I run 510g cams, v&h bigshots, k&n air filter kit with no issues, but will look into pcv soon. Just can't ever leave well enough alone i guess.

If you use the bike as a submarine water may get into the FuelPak but other then that, the cover is a tight fit.
Just enter the correct info on the V & H FuelPak web page and it will give you the exact values to enter...So easy, even a Caveman could do it.....
If your just changing exhaust and air cleaner with no desire to "work" the engine later on, the FuelPak is one of the easiest fuel management devices to hook up and program.

I had the fuelpak on my RK for 2+ years and never had any trouble. Rode in heavy rain and when I wash my bike I'm not real careful about where I spray water and I never had any water related problems. Bike ran fine with the fuelpak and consistantly got 42 mpg.
That being said, I recently purchased a PC-V from fuel moto because I am changing my cam (sometime this summer) and I wasnt confident the fuel pak would handle that. The PC-V is installed on the bike already and I cannot believe the difference in performance over the fuel pak. Pulls harder, runs smoother and sounds better. Mileage did drop to 40 mpg but I'll take it.
If your looking for my opinion, get the PC-V.

I run a PCIII on my Fatboy with some motor work and a fuelpak on the SG. Did the fuelpak because I didn't want to pay for more dyno time. The fuelpak does just fine for pipes and a air filter and its plenty water tight. 43 MPG.
