What TUNER have you used?

Anyone have any experience with the SLM by Accel? Was told they just came out with it a few months back. Also was told it was completely self learning, just plug-n-play. One person tells me that it was to good/easy to be true and he loves it.

just had the Fuel Pack installed on my 09 1200 Custom with Vance and Hines Big Barrels, and Screamin Eagle Heavy Breather. I am very happy with it. It runs excellent and better fuel milage

I have had the V&H FuelPak installed for a year and a half. No issues.

I installed the PC V w/ auto tune on my bike this morning and then uploaded the "closest" map to my configuration. I'm running a 103 w/ 255 cams, heavy breather, SuperTrapp true duals/SuperTrapp slip-ons. The only map available for the 103/255 cam config is with Rhinehart slip-ons (not true duals) and the heavy breather. Anyhow, installation too a few hours but it was not difficult. I uploaded my map of choice and then started the bike. Bike seemed to run fine in the garage but it's tough to tell anything unless on the road. Wife and I jumped on later and went for a 175 mile jaunt. Bike was kind of sluggish at first but it definately improved as we rode. I really have no idea what I'm doing with this thing so I'm not even sure my map uploaded properly. If there's any PC V experts out there I could sure use some advice w/ this thing.

More on this, I figured out that I need to turn on autotune and revextend (I'm a little slow) and the bike is running phenominally. I've ridden the bike three times since I turned autotune on and every day it gets better. I'm a HUGE believer in the PCV w/ autotune.

I just rode to work for the first time since installing a PC V from Fuel Moto. Since they preloaded a map based on my add-ons it was a snap to install. Bike runs much better. Smoother acceleration, no more sputtering at constant throttle or backfire on decel. I'm very happy.

I chose the Terry Components TV3, it is suppossed to self tune as you ride and uses factory 02 sensors. I have 2009 Road glide with a 96 CI, installed S&S 510g cams with gear drive, V&H true duals, Rush slip ons with 2 inch baffles and Screamin' Eagle "Ventilator" Performance Air Cleaner Kit. Bike has surprised many people on how well it will take off at 60 mph for a big cruiser. Cams have made great improvement and really come to life at around 2800 rpms . Have had problems as bike would hesitate and run rough at times around 3000 rpms. Put bike on Dyno and AFR hit 15:1 for short time at 3000 rpm. Changed 02 sensors and it seems to have fixed problem.

Choose the Harley Race Tuner, had it installed when I had the S&S gear plate and Andrews cams installed in '05 FLTRI. My dealer was more familiar with the tuning and did a fine job dialing the bike in with all the components I wanted to use. Also had V&H true duels and SE AC. Had to pay for 2 hours of dyno time for the dial in. Bike runs very strong and no problems after 54,000mi.

I installed the tfi from dobeck,with a s.e. Stage 1 and v&h big shot duals.installed everything myself with no problems.i chose the tfi because of great reviews, good tech support and a 2 yr warranty. I also received a nice ex military discount.very easy to tune and tinker with.sounds great.

I'm going to put in new cams during the winter or early spring, as a start to my up-build. I have an 07 RG, with V&H True Duals, AN Big Sucker, V&H Fuelpak. Does anyone run a FuelPak with upgraded cams? Any issues ?

Thanks

unless Vance and Hines have tested your cam in the FP they will not have a setting for it, use the request map feature on the Fuel pak site and see if they have one, this is my biggest bug bear with the FP that V&H will not tell what each map point alters so you cannot dyno the think and alter it without spending loads of $$/££ on dyno pulls to see what each setting alters
