is it difficult? does the thing come pre programmed. if not what has to be done to get it working correctly. im putting pipes and stage 1 air cleaner on my 05 deluxe and i often i like to do things myself .

John,

The Power Commander is a breeze to hook up. Just take your seat off and plug it in. You will have to program it. It will run out of the box but it won't be programmed to what your sit up is. Check with the manufacturer...they are great to work with.

Go to the Power Commander Web Site and they have sample Maps for different variations of what your have done to the bike, such as Pipes, Stage 1, etc. Just takes a Laptop or PC with a USB cable and the program is supplied with the Module to make your changes.

I have one and it is amazing the difference it makes..

 

It come pre-programed for a stock set-up. It is easy to install as download the disc into your computer. Pick a map that reflects your set up.(air filter, pipes) and transfer that map to the PC. Flow the direction exactly...they are easy. I did mine in about 1/2 hr. It does fit under the seat. There is a map #180 that is for the Bigshot staggered's , SE air filter or ness big sucker and stock ECM. It is for a 2004 big it make a heck of a difference in the bike.

 

im a little confused on the programming. when i down load the map from the site to my pc. do i actually usb the power commander unit to the pc and download it in to it? what powers it during the down load?

Just installed one today.

Download the correct MAP file from web Site, Save it on your computer.

Then hookup computer USB Cable to Power Commander..
Run Power Commander Program on your computer..
Open Map file that you downloaded from web site.. Start bike.
Then send MAP to Power commander..

Bernie..

 

The Bike has to be on or the Power Commander comes with an adapter that allows you to power it with a 9v battery.

 

damn!!! im going to need a 100 ft usb cable to reach my pc. i dont have a lap top. NOW WHAT???

 

Ride the bike into your office.

 

actually id have to ride in the house, upstairs and in to the front room and then out again. thats some trip and im not sure i can squeeze a 600+ lb softail tail far.
