Having had both you would be far better of with the PCV don't waste your time with the VH call Jamie and get it right the first time with support for any future modifications. My bike was still running lean on the VH ran OK but still a to lean their support for maps is not the greatest and they keep it all a secret.

Depends on your $ situation, but if you can afford an 11 then I would say in my opiinion that you should go with a "Rev Performance" tuner as it capable of adjusting to any modifications that you decide to make to your new ride, which I would say "congratulations" on gettin. Don't do inferior product. JM-2.

TTS would be a better choice for the TBW bikes, a few more tuning peramitors.
I only wanted to do it once so I went with a TTS. Check out cycle rama best price I found.

I've been using the FuelPak for a couple of years now and while I am mostly satisfied I should have bought a PCV reason being the FuelPak does nothing in the closed loop throttle area i.e. cooling the engine with more fuel. It does work adequately in the open loop area of throttle position however. But why buy a fuel manager that only works in one area of fuel management instead of the full range of throttle positions.

Never owned a fuel management device before and have heard mostly good things about both devices. All things being equal, I went with the PCV because of the positive experiences I've read about on this forum by other users and I like the fact that if I do have any problems, I can call Fuel Moto and use their customer support to get help.

I did the full stage 1 with slip ons, high flow a/c and PCV and killed the cat. My bike runs cooler, sounds much better and runs noticeably stronger than it used to. So far I am very satisfied with the performance of this product and the way I was treated by FM during the sale.

Exactly. I have never had any problems with my Fuelpak and always had great customer service at V&H but I think I would have gone another way to cover future upgrades to my bike. But still running it and Bike runs great.
