    just ordered big radius pipes and a se heavy breather for my 1200c

    Been reading a bit of stuff on tuners etc.

    Wondering what people on here use etc.

    What's good for price and what is overpriced.

    Any advice would be great.

    In my experiance you cannot go past factory tuners, ie Screaming eagle for harley, harley have a much much larger budget to play with and anybody with 10cents in their pocket who thinks they can make something better is kidding themselves in my book. but at the end of the day i'd say you have to find a person who can tune first and ask what they prefer to use!

    but isnt there some that are pretty much plug in and there is settings for different pipes and breathers etc? Like from what i read that's what the Vance and hines one works with.

    yes there is, but not all engines are the same! so their "tubes" will always be way on the "safe" side (too rich and not enough timming)...tune it right and tune it once!

    TTS is an excelent choice of tuner, no plug and play, it reprograms your ecm and you can tune it yourself.

    Can't say too much about tuners, but I installed the same pipes and breather as yourself onto the cooks nightster. We used a power commander v, after a dyno tune the thing flies, bit of popping on decel but not overly bad.

    still looking into things

    So undecided. There's way to many options with this and i dont know enough about it, as ive never had to do this kinda thing before
    Price is a factor as well as how easy it is to set up etc.

    I just bought the SEPST (32109-08B) off ebay the other day for $365 delivered. I'm no tech but I thought the price was reasonable & the super tuner seems to be a popular choice.
