Default Comments on FuelMoto Jackpots/PC V setup?

I'm considering purchasing the FuelMoto Jackpots, AC, and PC V setup for my 09 EG Classic. I understand that it is easy to setup and is already programmed to be plug-and-ride. I want the sound to be deeper but not loud. I would like to get the engine to run less lean, more tuned for proper AFR, as well as produce more hp and torque. Those of you that have this setup, what are your experiences with it and are you happy with the setup? Is there anything else that needs to be done or considered with the setup. I appreciate all your comments.

Conrad

I dont have their setup yet, but Im planning to order within the next few days. Cal,l or email and talk to Jamie, he has been very helpful with the questions I have emailed him so far. It sounds like you are looking for the same thing as me, he recommended the dyno tuned Jackpots for my set and from what Ive read on here people that have them seem to be happy.

I am extremely happy with the setup and it seems so are most are the people who install it. I have the PCIII on my 07 and love it. If you do a search on the Jackpots and Fuelmoto there are a ton of threads. For good technical info look up Iclick's posts he has a lot of good info on the setup.

Here is a thread on the performance gain.

I am certain that it is going to do exactly what you are looking for. I love my set up.

I highly recommend the Jackpots, PCV, and AC package. Easy to install 1 - 2 hours, plug and play functionality. Map runs well, pipe are giving a nice deep rumble, but not too loud, just right.....Good Deal!!!

After having cvome off a Night Train eqipped with a Thunderheader, I was disappointed initially. But as the miles pile on, I've grown to like the DT Jackpots quite a bit. They're not to obnoxious and have a good rumble to them. Maybe it's just me, but it seems like the hotter they get, the louder they are. (short ride vs. longer ride) Anyone else notice this, or is it just me??

Does this setup void the HD factory warranty at all?

The legal answer is no, but the factory could give you a hard time with the warranty for repainting your bike if they wanted to. Customer relations largely revolves around the dealer, and how they interpret things is important. Most will not give you a hard time for installing a PCV or other EFI controller unless that device is the direct cause of an otherwise-warrantable issue. Considering the PCV only intercepts signals downstream of the ECM there is almost no chance it will ever cause a problem. In fact, I've never heard of a PCV causing a failure to a stock or any other component. If the PCV dies, which is also unlikely, the bike may also quit running--but re-connecting the ECM in the stock configuration will allow you to continue on.

Likewise, if you are paranoid about the dealer's reaction to a PCV installation you could simply remove it every time you have warranty work done on the bike, but I think that is unnecessary. Keep in mind that HD isn't in business to give their customers a hard time, and they are in fact walking a tightrope with the customer on the one side, the EPA on the other. They would rather that you not change the EFI configuration of your bike for this reason, but usually look the other way when it is done. I hear there is a disclaimer on SEST packaging warning that installing it will void the warranty, but I haven't heard of anyone with SEST installed being denied warranty work.

The Fuel Moto Power Package (PCV, Dyno-Tuned Jackpot mufflers, and AC) is IMO the best Stage 1 kit available anywhere for the price and could be the best on the market regardless of price. It provides performance at or near the top, very near or equal to 2-into-1 systems that cost much more, and maintain the deep HD rumble without making your ears ring after a long ride.

I've had the standard DT baffles in my bike for over a year now and until last month were perfect in tone and performance. Adding an aftermarket cam set to the bike last month caused exhaust noise to increase, which I expected, and just the other day I installed Fuel Moto's smaller right-side baffle (1.75") to lower the sound level a bit. Since the left side is restricted with a reversion cone there is no need to replace both. The results were just what the doctor ordered, with sound levels back to where they were before the cam upgrade with no noticeable performance change. Theoretically a smaller baffle will improve low-end and possibly midrange TQ while very slightly decreasing peak HP, but the performance impact is so insignificant that there isn't even a need to change the base map.

If sound level is important and you want to keep the bike quiet, consider these smaller baffles even if you have stock cams installed. Again, I found the standard 2" right-side baffle to be fine on the stock setup, so for most of you this will be just right.

I purchased the Fuel Moto Power package for my 09 Road King Classic about a month ago and so far I'm pleased. It was an easy setup. The pipes have a nice rumble at low RPM. I find, however, that the pipes lose their rumble once the bike gets above 3000 RPM. The pipes give out a high pitched sound instead of a rumble in the higher RPM. But my riding style, along with the six-speed transmission, usually keeps me at 3000 RPM or below. What I really like about the pipes is that others can hear them, yet they are easy on my ears.
