Hi guys,
I just traded my 09 Softail Custom for a 2013 Road Glide Custom. I went from LOUD to stock. I would like to add pipes and an air cleaner and tune first off. I would not like to go with the Harley tuner because I would like to do more by myself. I was looking at a Dynojet PV from fuel moto. I love the bike and cant wait to wake it up. I also want to change the bars to something that brings them closer to me. The stock make me reach too much.
Its a big change from the Softail i know but I know i will get used to the difference.
Anyway thanks for advise in advance and looking forward being a member of the big boys club.

Ride safe

Welcome to the high life! I cant school you on upgrades as my bike is an older model with a different fuel system. I can tell you that this board is invaluable. AGAIN WELCOME!

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the new bike.

Fuelmoto makes great stuff. Buddy of mine went with their 2-1-2 header, Jackpot Pro slipons, their AC and a PV.

I had never hear the Jackpots in person until he got his, but I have to say I was very impressed, they sound *killer*, a nice deep rumble at idle and a real good bark when you get on it.

12.5" Wild1 Chubby's on mine, they are very comfortable, but I shoulda stayed with the 14's I had on my RK.

Congrats on the new bike!

I bought a tuner from fuel moto awhile back and have been pleased with their product and their customer service. Good luck with your choices.

If you don't want to be bound to the dealer for tunes and dynos, go with the Powervision. It's very simple and very user friendly with a touch screen interface that does not require the use of a laptop.

Call FM and they can price you a package deal.
