Fuel Pak vs Power Commander for newbie
I have recently upgraded from an 06 sportster to a 12 road king. I just ordered the vance and hines dresser duals and the klock werks ss 4 in exhaust along with an arlen ness big sucker. Im looking at either getting the VH fuel pak or the power commander and zero experience with this type of system. I guess my question would be if anyone has a similar set up and which would be easier for a do it yourselfer. The fuel pak is cheaper and seems pretty much straight forward. the power commander seems alot more complicated but has more options down the road. thanks in advance

Take a look at the TTS Mastertune.
The TTS does not "piggyback" onto the existing ECM. It reprograms it based upon your installs &/or driving style, but allows you to go back to the original if you ever need to do so.

I just ordered the V&H Dresser Duals, Rush slip-ons and Fuelpak for mine. There are a lot of negative posts about the Fuelpak but I had one on my Dyna, put one on the wife's new 103 Street Bob and never had a problem on either bike. Actually my Dyna ran really well with it. Good enough for me to order it for my Street Glide. I think it depends on what you are expecting from it. I could care less about power and just needed to add a little more fuel.

Best bet is to order one from Fuel Moto so that way you always have support and access to a map for just about everything imaginable that you can do to your bike. If they dont have a map for you, I can assure you that Dragos or some other vendor will. Good luck with your decision.

I just did a FM Micro tuner as I never plan on doing more than a stage one works great so far. I would guess it depends on if a stage1 will be where you stop or if you have plans for more done in the future?? I'm sure the power vision is the best. I just couldn't see spending 500 bones when I know I'll never do more to the engine.

I have had a couple powercommanders. Couldn't be any easier to plug into your laptop and download the file. Their customer service is also very good if you find your file is not ideal and they will help you dial in a few numbers for improvement. Once you have it set, you can forget it and just ride.
