Default New Fatboy Lo

Hey everyone, just picked up a new 2014 Fatboy Lo a few weeks ago. I have about 430 miles on it so far and loving it. I'm coming from a crotch rocket and decided I wanted to move on to a cruiser as I wanted something more comfortable and always liked Harley's.

So far I've put on Vance and Hines Big Shots staggered and a screaming eagle heavy breather. I did get suckered into the Stage 1 map from the dealer (I know, a mistake from what I've read). However, I wanted to know what are the latest and greatest EFI tuners.

Also, anyone from the Delaware area know of a trustworthy dyno tuner? When I did some more research I realized the dealership doesn't know much about tuning, at least with the two guys I spoke to.

Anyone have any experience with the Vance & Hines FP3 tuner that works with your smartphone? If so, how do you favor it compared to other tuners?

Welcome from Idaho HD2014. I too have a 2014 FLSTFB Blknd Cayene. I've seen a few guys on here using the FP3 and so far, they sound more than happy with it. I'm about to find out soon, but I'm still waiting for my V&H super radius pipes to ship that they just came out with a few months ago. If you're not going past a stage 1 set up, it sounds like the FP3 is a good way way to go for a diy. There's a butt load of good info on here from a lot of great people who are willing to share it, so keep reading and ride safe! P.S. I strongly suggest getting a service manual too. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks! I'm really leaning towards the FP3 since I'm not planning on going past a Stage 1 setup. I'll search for some other threads to see if I can get some more info from other riders who have some experience with it.

Have you done any other customizations to your Lo yet?

The Fat Boy Lo was the other bike I was considering when I bought my Heritage. It is a good looking bike! Congrats!!!

Yeh, I have. I've added the detachable sissy bar, swing arm bag(very handy), and red screamin' eagle plug wires. Still in the process of getting all the cheesy stickers and reflectors off.

congrats man! i come i recently picked up a fatboy lo too and come from a lot of sportbikes (owned 7, still own my R1) and supermotos (had a few of them, still have a parking lot stunt one).

But i am really liking the FB Lo!!!! i will be transforming it into a bobber soon, just a lot of money and work...lol.

as far as a tuner im using a power commander V. im used to them from my other bikes and think they work pretty well. but there are more Harley specific tuners out there.

Cool, I bought new grips, but waiting to put them on until I decide which handlebars I want
