My 3 different scenarios are as follows and in order of what I will be running.

1. wild pigs, stock headers with cat
2. wild pigs, stock header decatted
3. wild pigs, jackpot headers

I am super apprehensive about doing the power vision download after I get the pigs on. The power vision came with zero instructions. I have no problem doing the slipon swapout but am really intimidated about the fuel map.

I have watched the FM video about the download process but it just didnt seem to put me at ease.

Any advice or tips to help me get over this uneasiness I have and instill some confidence in what I will be doing in the next week or two?

Please help a first time fuel injected bike owner who is a bit shakey on messing with my brand new ride!!!!!

Oh, it is a 2012 street glide with 550 miles on it. yes, 550 miles. HELP!!!

i put the a/n cleaner and 4 rineharts used map in the power vision run like a dream..

Waiting to hear back from Doc and I will take it from there.

Let me know when you decide to get rid of your PV. I am looking for one for my brother. The unlock is 200.00 though...I just did it when I got a new bike...

1. Connect the PV (remove the lf saddlebag and side cover. Connector is right there)
2. Turn on ign switch and kill switch on handle bar. PV will turn on
3. select load tune
4. select get tune from "custom tunes" Thats where Jamie loaded your MAPs.
5. Select the map you want to use and load it.
6. the first time it will ask to "marry" to your bike and save original tune . Say yes.
7. after it loads the tune it will ask you to turn off bike for 10 sec.

Your done, it will take a couple minutes. Dont panic.

If your still worried do it during business hours and have the saddlebags and side cover off and call Fuel Moto and they will talk you through it

Seems like everything you try to get done to the bikes requires removal of several layers of things your not changing just to get to wat you do want to change/modify.

thanks for the support.

Then you follow the steps that are on Fuel Moto's video.....

I was nervous about loading a tune too...it's easy. If you are doing a simple stage 1 with A/C, and full exhaust, Jamie's MAPs are usually within 90%-98% of a full dyno tune.

I just put on V&H dresser duals, FM air cleaner, and Power Vision. I was a little apprehensive also. Andy Yes, it is that easy. As much time as it took me to put on new apes, wiring, cables, new exhaust, new air cleaner, I couldn't believe that the tuner was so easy. I rode the bike today for the first time.... WOW.. I did get a little popping on down throttle, but not bad at all. I'm sure Jamie will help me tweak it a little. Over all, I love it.

OK, so I got my wild pig mufflers in and must say that they look GREAT. Nice looking chrome.

I am going to go ahead and gut my cat this weekend and will be able to put it all back together next weekend. I will probably start another thread for newbies like me on a step by step how to.

wish me luck especially with the power vision part of it. I cannot wait to hear the bike come alive and hopefully realize at least a little bit of performance gain.
