Ive had my street glide for about a year now and I'm wanting to do exhaust and intake. I have the knowledge to take off the old and put on the new. My question would be is it cheaper to put the exhaust and intake on myself then take it to the dealer to let them remap it?
 
I'd do it all yourself. A good tuner that I've used 2 times now is the v&h fp3.
 
I looked up the fp3 and it looks awesome but the option were you pick what type of exhaust you have is that list limited to certain brands?
 
Email VH directly with you bike and details. They will help you select the map for your set up. Great customer service and very easy to use the FP3.

Plus it has auto tune feature. There is a long thread here about that.
 
How computer savvy do you have to be to do that?

I agree, the FP3 is probably the best canned tune product, easy to use, easy install, very accommodating for almost all after market bolt-on upgrades. Because you are concerned about computer savvy, the FP3 will require atleast a smart phone with blue tooth or a laptop with Bluetooth capability, you should be atleast somewhat familiar with the software application of the FP3, it is very easy to use, but if you are computer/App challenged you may get frustrated. As mentioned, SPAZZ has posted up on here several good tutorials to learn from.

Something else I would also consider before buying a tuner is, where do you see your motor upgrades going in the future? FP3 is a great plug-n-play device with a broad capability of "canned" maps and auto tuning. But if you see your bike gaining a few cubic inches or some internals getting upgraded, you may want to consider some other more capable tuner systems because the FP3 will not work for those types of upgrades. If you buy the right tuner, the first time, you will only need to do it once and save some money. good luck
 
FYI... the FP3 is ever-evolving since it's release. Just remapped a 15 Limited for TW555 cams with the FP3 and was straight-forward as far as that goes... but... AT was needed to take out the lag and throttle dead spots when you blipped it. Runs fantastic now. Not sure on gaining cubes and adjustments for that type of mods, the FP3 app can be downloaded and played with in demo mod to see what it can do

Doglegged,
I installed an SE intake (with stock exhaust) on Thursday, FP3 on Friday, left for Sturgis (4300mi) on Sat. used Autotune, checked FP3 when I got back 47 mpg. Autotune works great! The quick guide to install FP3 walks you through the 5 minute process!
 
Hey Spazz ,
You seem to be the guru the FP3, I have a 09 SG with the following stag 1, Kuryakyn intake, CFR 4" slip ons w/ gutted stock head pipe, Wondering what the best map to use is, since I can't find my exhaust in the drop down. Is there a V&H that has close specs that is the go to? Like many on here Always appreciate your help, knowledge and honesty in these matters. Sal.C
 
CFR's are a high flow slipon... combined with a decatted head pipe... hmm... I would say go with High Outputs map. That's a recommendation... but you best bet is to call V/H to get their recommendation on which map you need to get close as a starting point for Auto Tune.
 
So this is a screenshot of my second auto tune run, Like a newbie after the first one I hit finish instead of apply before I took a screenshot. Learned the hard way on that. Sucks to because it was a longer and faster run that I would have liked to had the ability to track the changes of. I can already feel the difference in the bike. Changed the TPS to mod because the stock was just putting me to sleep. Spazz if you see anything that pops out feel free to let me know.

My advice, keep doing it. It won't hurt to auto tune another 20 times, but try to hit as many areas as possible. Most people say to auto tune the way you ride but going beyond the normal areas makes sure it learns values that you don't normally, but may, hit.

It's plenty fine to start a new session and go again. You'll no doubt learn the same cells but that just becomes a double check. In my experience, there will be some change, but I wouldn't sweat it. Of course, the goal is to let the pv3 learn values for as many cells as possible to maximize efficiency across all ranges.
