Welcome Aboard!!
I have an '08 Rocker C with the Vance and Hynes Big Radius. Currently running a K&N Air Filter under the FootBall Filter Cover. I am in the Process of queing up a Screamin Eagle Heavy Breather for the Spring.
Based on what I have learned from this Forum I have to tell you that while it's nice to have this Electronic unit with Digital display attached to your bike for people to oooo and aaaahhhh over, I will be saving my $350+ and sticking to the dealer remap of my ECU and staying away from any Fuel Management Systems that are argueabley marginal in the performance dept.
Cheers, and enjoy the Forums!!!

Newfierocker,
Thanks for the advice! So you are saying that a dealer remap is the way to go? I'm curious why my dealership has not suggested that to me than? Maybe the want more sales? My goal is get the correct set-up from the start on my rocker. My last bike was a 08 v-rod night rod special. I had replaced the exhaust with bub jugs and then did a pc upgrade with a k&n filter right away. A fun ride I must say.

From: 40 miles Northeast of Indy..
F/M's is probably one of the most talked about threads in here as it goes with pipes and A/c'er... do a seach and do some reading and then U'll pick the one that suits U..
I like the SERT I have, never had any trouble, but its not the lowest price way to go and doesn't auto tune...
I have just read this week that some of the thoughts on the newer FI bikes can go with stg1 and not really need a F/M,, I am still out on that thought, I think nightrider has a article on it....
Congrats on your bike.
