confused about tuning options
Ok so here's the deal...I've been reading a bunch of stuff on here and I think I'm more confused than I was before.....anyway I have a 2012 road king police bike....it is totally stock right now....I'm thinking about.....
Vance and hines super radius or pro pipe 2 into 1
As far as air breather ....maybe a se heavy breather....not tied to one specifically...I know a lot of people recommend the arlen ness heavy breather
As far as tuning...can I bring my bike to someone local and have it tuned on a dyna machine or do I HAVE to buy a tuner?....I mean If I buy a real tuner it's gonna cost me at least 400 bucks right?....I have absolutely no plans to go past a stage one or do any other mods to the engine....what would u guys suggest....I have no experience with tuning in general so unless I can plug something in and be done, I probably won't be able to do it and have to have it run on a dyna anyway
S what do u guys think....ryan

I have heard alot of good things about the V&H. I would recommend a Air Cleaner that doesn't allow all the hot dirty oily air back in. Like one of the Outlaw's such as the 636v, 425 or the 587. They are free flowing Air Cleaners that do NOT allow the hot dirty oily air back in. And even if you like the look of the of the other Air Cleaner's you can still route externally with a hose style set up. Your bike will definatley thank you in the long run
As for tuning, it is many different options you can go with. Devin and Kevin (DK) both have the Power Vision on their bikes, they are extremely satisfied! The good thing about the Power Vision is that it is delivered to you with a custom map for your bike already installed in it. You can plug it in and be riding with the new tune in five minutes! Also, below is a thread on EFI Options that may help you a lot

so how hard is it to use the power vision as far as riding with it…..lets say i get one and it comes with a map for my bike…..then i install it on my bars, ride with it and it suggests alterations…is it a one button push kinda deal?….i have no idea how to use stuff like this….is it only for people very knowledgeable about tuning in general….sounds easy but i don't wanna get in over my head…..
the other question i had was, would it be more beneficial to me to not spend 400 or so on a tuner and just put that money towards my local guy who tunes on a dyne…..i guess i risk him not having a clue also….ryan

It is easy to use, FuelMoto (if you buy it from them) will give you unlimited support. They will pre-program it for you, you can run the basic autotune with it or upgrade to the auto tune pro.
It will handle anything you can change on your ride. No Dyno is required.
I am using it on my Fat Boy Lo and had it on my Street Bob before it died a horrible death.
There is a lot of info here. Check out this never ending thread:

I run an FP3 on my '14 Lo with V&H Super Radius pipes and love it. It's about the least expensive for a decent flash tuner, A dynamometer tune is gonna cost a lot more by the time you're done, easy as pie even for an old fart like me, plug and play, smart phone's all ya need, and good customer support if you need it, which you won't. I was on the fence and confused like you at first back when but because I decided to go with the Super Radius I said wtf and got the FP3 too. Glad I did. Would do it again.

If you want to get a good tuner that is simple to use and works good on a stage I at a very affordable price, I would recommend getting the Superchips Vigilante. They are a sponsor here, the Vigilante retails for $199, you hook it up to your bike, power it up and it asks you what exhaust you have, then what air cleaner you have, after you select it it recommends a MAP to install in your bike, choose the MAP and BAM, that's it. Go for a ride. I've had a couple bike comes through my shop with these installed, after running them on the dyno i'd say that they do a pretty nice job and work as advertised.
