Would a notarized pic help you?
Yes, and until you produce one, no body will believe you.

Is that the trend here or just your standard for me alone based on your fondness and respect for me ?

Either way, I'll flag this and when I am back on the 29th, go get a picture just for you. I'm going to be in San Antonio TX and on a flight at 0700 hrs for business if you can believe that. In the meantime, the bike is having warranty work done at West Bend Harley if you care to verify that with them. Ask for a 2011 Superlow that is in for warranty work on the harness. You could ask them if I do have what I said is on there. It is an orange and white Superlow. Just for you, here is their address and phone number in case you don't believe I even own one. Or do I need to produce a title? I might even get a dyno tune done while it is there. Feel free to ask them to verify that too.

What is my best route to tune the bike? I saw the cobra fi 2000 it ranges from $250-$550 which one is the right one to get? Or is there a better way to tune for only these two mods.

Also bike is a 2012 48... So 1200cc...

This is all I plan to do performance wise and want it to be 100% safe. And cheaper would be better as lOng as it works good.
See the original question.... XIED'S or any other inline resistors is not the answer . It is cheap but you can do a search and make them from THE SHACK and do it even cheaper . Fuelpak SUCKS.... I had it a tried it .. Then tried it with XIED for clossed loop and fuelpak for open loop and if you do a search V.H. has found many great reviews for this setup ... WRONG...... Why would I want to by one product then by another product to make this work ? CAUSE i was trying to save money...So 275.00 for fuelpak and 100.00 for xied's and 475.00 for Cobra, my bike finally runs. Is cobra the best option out there for simple air and exhaust, it wasfor me after wasting money trying to save money ...Is power commander or thundermax better I would hope so if those are the type of large scale mods you are going to do .

Which is my point. Why waste money trying to save money? I believe the phrase is "Penny wise, pound foolish". Not to belittle you (Just in case Rog is watching and gets his feelings hurt) but you just spent $850 and got, IMO, most importantly, the AGGRAVATION. I'm sure the DynoVision might be and definitely the SEPST would be as expensive with the dyno tune but if it was money you will spend eventually, my philiosophy is to avoid the aggravation if possible.

When I cannot afford the mod and the supporting mods, I have to put the instant gratification aside and save up. Yes, I agree it sucks to wait but somehow, I think it sucks more to have to re-do the whole thing and pay more money and get the grief to go along with it. I could see taking out a payday loan to get food and medicine or necessary clothes for the job. I don't see taking out a payday loan to buy the largest TV. My bike ran fine without the mods. They are not essential. As such, I can wait for my funds to catch up to make the necessary things happen. Doing it again bites. What sucks more is doing it again and incurring extra expenditure knowing you could have done it right the first time. 15 years later, I am still kicking myself in the *** for saving a few hundred on the heads and trashing a $5000 short block plus the aggravation.

This post was from someone new trying to get some honest input. He did not want to get the info that this turned into. When I did this I thought I knew what I had to do .I WAS WRONG . $$$ lost and I am happy now with my choice . Let's just keep this this open to good info and leave the nonsence out of it.. So 1 person likes fuelpak, 10 like nightrider products, 20 like power comander and 4 like cobra . Do the search and decide witch is right for YOUR build and backpocket . But again this forum is for us and new folks looking for help... Just my thoughts and ride safe
