Auto Tune for Touring models
Well thought i was going to install my new Auto tune this weekend but wait the 02 bungs are to small WTF. I guess i should have done more reasearch on this. I just cant understand why a product that was made for 2010 and later harley davidson touring models would come setup for 18mm 02 bungs when the new bikes are all 12mm? let me just go out back to my tool shed and fire up the mig welder and weld these 18mm bungs in no problem rite and plug off the factory ones.anyone who is thinking of adding a Autotune to there pcv setup make sure you check the 02 bungs for the correct size so you dont get the wind taken out of your sail like i did. I was able to get an appointment at a local shop in town and for $150 they will install the new bungs and wire up the Autotune for me. I normally will do most of my own work however the welding part is something im not going to do myself that metal is way to thin and will burn through very easy if you dont know what your doing with the heat. ok im done

'09 headpipe might work for you...Has the 18 mm bungs up by the exhaust port. Or you could buy an X-Pipe from FuelMoto.
And yes, your homework assignment is to do your your homework. Much can be learned from regular use of the "SEARCH" button. JFWY...It'll all work out, somehow.

$150 to weld a couple O2 bungs? Look in the for sale section for a 2009 headpipe. Bet you can find one for $100 or less shipped and you will know the bung has been installed and mounted correctly so the sensor is in the exhaust stream.

Back in July 2010 I purchased my stage 1 w/pcv for my 2010 Road King from Fuel Moto.
One of the first things they suggested was for me to purchase a 2009 headpipe instead of a 2010.
Their reason was if I ever decieded to install AutoTune I would have a plug and play set-up.
Well, about 3 months ago I wanted to install AutoTune. They were exactly right, it was just plug and play. Install was a breeze.
Kudos to Fuel Moto, those guys are the greatest. They know their stuff.

The problem isn't with FuelMoto or DynoJet--the problem is the companies that make O2 sensors don't make the necessary wideband O2 sensor in the 12mm variety.
That may change in the future, as the 12mm O2 sensors become more popular, but for now, if you want the wideband sensor, you need to go to the 18mm and either buy a 2009 headpipe for your 2010-up bike, or take your headpipe off and have a couple 18mm bungs welded in.
If you go to an exhaust shop, shouldn't be more than about 20-40 bucks to have the bungs welded (especially if it's a small shop & you pay in cash).

Make sure if you have the pipe welded that the sensors are in the right place, auto tune O2 sensors need to be a certain distance from the head. I agree with the others, if it will fit, buy an 09 head pipe. I went with a whole new exhaust that already had all the fittings, (Dragos Dragula).
