I really like my VIEDs. Wasn't sure if I would screw with them too much but decided to spend the few extra $. It was worth it, I have been able to ride and make some adjustments that have the bike running exactly the way I want it. Steve is a great guy - if you have any questions give him a call, he will spend the time with you.
I look forward to installing my VIED's when I return to the States soon. And yes, Steve is great to deal with. In my haste to order the VIED's I accidently ordered the older version, not the FL-VIED's that my bike requires. No problem, contacted Steve and explained and he sent out the correct ones at no charge and asked me just to return the other set once I rotate back home.
Just got my xieds from a member. Can't wait to test them out. If I should need to bring my 2012 sg to a dealer for whatever should I pull these off as to not void my warranty?
I put them on my 08 FLHX along with the stage 1 download and a se aircleaner / se slip ons....runs great....21,000 miles now, no complaints...and yes, the guy is very helpful and honest, just ask him whatever you want to know
Not sure what the X is for, but the IED part stands for Inline Enrichment Device, best I can tell.
They are essentially diodes that change the signal from the sensors to get the ECM to think your bike is running leaner in closed loop than it actually is thus "fooling" it to add fuel.
Thanks for the answer, that is kinda what I was thinking also. I think the X just means it is set at a fixed value.
I just installed a set of FL-XIED 10s on my 12 Softail Deluxe. I used the grounding point on the frame where the negative cable of the battery goes. On the front I grounded it on one of the regulator bolts. Exhaust sounds a little louder and I can put the bike in 6th at 45 and just roll the throttle on with no bucking or pinging. I only put 10 miles on it so far and plugs are still white; maybe I'll take a little trip today and check them after.
