Default What to do with my ThunderMax
I had my 07 Street Glide upgraded to a 103
useing SE kit with 255 cams amd pistons.
The dealer installed a Super tuner and dynoed the bike
to tune it.
They removed the Thunder Max.
Wondering what I should do. Reinstall the
Thunder Max or stick with the Harley tuner.
I could sell the Thunder Max. If I sell
it how much do you think is a fair price

depends if the tmax is an auto tune or not that would make up my opinion and make up a lot of the price

Used T-Max should bring $400.00 I would think.

I have a stupid question. If you already had an autotune thundermax, why did you pay for a super tuner and dyno?

dunno bout the price but having auto tune is worth more than the standard tmax. but if ur done working on the bike and happy with performance i would just sell and get the money. the supertuner is not transferable from bike to bike but i think the tmax is able too

I am wondering this also! I bet that the mechanic was just more comfortable with the Tuner. I personally would have stayed with the Thundermax and saved all that money.

The Thundermax is transferable it just has to be used for the same application in which it was originally purchased for.
