Interested to know which route you've gone to get the bike ecu tuned after high flow air cleaner & exhaust / muffler. (I got 2018 softail street bob. )
V&H fuel pack 3 seems like the most popular choice but so damn expensive ($700 AUS plus on ebay) for what it is.

Does anyone care to shed the light on this stingy guy?

Thanks in advance :) :) :)

You get what you pay for. As most the tuners are made in USA our $ does not help your conversion either. I use a power vision and find it easy to do the Auto tune and basic features.

I have studied custom tunes on a Dyno , by an experienced tuner, with a well set up Dyno in a good room, with load control. so they can tune accurately & safely. turning a average ride into a very nice ride in all conditions. there is not many of them ( there are a lot of Dyno's not many good tunners )

Best value on any ECM HD in stock to relatively mild performance modified is a Dyna Powervision license and tune .Old mate Lushy turns these over at a very regular rate.

Cheers.

I fitted a Thundermax auto tune and the difference is amazing!Very smooth and more pickup.No popping. Better fuel economy. I got mine from a guy in wa who bought some from a place that went broke or out of business or something. Paid $250 and paid a local guy $150 to set it up.Best money I have spent. I think they are expensive new. Mine is a 2011 Softail deluxe. Hope this helps.

Too bloody true.
and +1 on the PowerVision as a useful tool.
Some basic functions are almost intuitive, other advanced functions are a dogs breakfast to the uninitiated.

You just missed out on some crazy good black friday deals on Powervision. If you email Fuel Moto nicely they might let you grab one at the same price.

But remember the device is a tool, like a Builders Hammer. How that tool is utilized determines all the difference.

A base map from Fuel Moto will be in the ballpark, especially stage 1 usual stuff.

But a cell by cell load based individual cylinder tune from a PRO is money well spent. Like Krash said, there are tuners, and there are TUNERS. The industry is filled with Cowboys with a SERT/PV cable and a laptop so do your research.

Have a Fuelpak on my 2014 its fine for a stage 1. I paid about $550 for it from Revzilla in the US
On my 2010 i'm running a Powervision, that was considerably more, that bike will get cams and a big bore though.

On my 2014 with just a stage 1 the fuelpak has been perfect for a canned map and reading fault codes.
