I contacted John Golden- "The Dyno Guy". He wont tune with a RT, but I did some research
and I think he is the answer to my problems. What do I have to do with the Race Tuner
I have allowed the dealer to "Install"...Do I just ask them to remove it? Can the Power
Commander be installed like it is and overwrite it?

By any chance are you and the scoot coming to Daytona next month?  If so, I can put you with an excellant tuner with the RT and save you some money on replacing it.  Hate to see you eat the cost of the RT plus purchase a PC when a $150 dyno tune would fix the problem.

I just got off the phone with [highlight]V&H tech support who basicly said the HD race tuner is worthless[/highlight]with their pipes.. and that I should buy either a Power Commander or their fuel Pak system.
They claim their system will run perfect... Here we go again..
They are WRONG about the race tuner. Sounds like they want you to buy their system. As JC, and others said, have it tuned by someone who takes time to do it right. It can take 5 hrs on the dyno.

alright gentlemen, After several emails with Mr. Golden, he thinks its the exhaust connection
to the head. He has given me a procedure that requires replacing the gaskets and slowly
tightening them down. Im not comforatable with it but Im gonna do it.. I dont think I can
screw this up... stand by for results

Tuned, obviously no one can absolutely diagnose or tune remotely.

Twolane, I have all the confidence in the world in John, what I meant by not being comforatable\
with it was me doing the work. I thank you very much for getting me in contact with him. I feel
I have finally found someone who understands what I'm looking for.
Thanks again

Tuned, did John give you an idea of what the rest of his rally schedule would be this year?  So you can try to be someplace he'd be at the same time if you decide to have him do some tuning for you?

Twolane he didnt, He feels really confident on this exhaust procedure. I'm gonna do this and then I have to get back to him. I absolutely will get his schedule though and share it. I think I want him to tune it even if the popping does go away.
question- what does the PC your referring to cost? And can I buy it from John during my tuning
appointment?

John does generally keep them on his trailer to have for sale at the shows.  On a touring model they are so simple to install (10 minutes) that it's no big deal.  On the Softail, however, it's a bit more a chore.  You could not only buy it a bit cheaper on eBay or elsewhere, but taking an hour on a Saturday afternoon to have it done before you visited him would save you some labor time as well.  Plus you'd also not have to worry about him simply being out of stock when you got there.

  Hey! tunedse2
Just got back in town, and read  this subject I have the big radius on my  01 fatboy had it dyno'ed and installed a  RT totally stopped all the popping on the d-cel. Here's the numbers before 57.95 MP after 75.97 MT 69.91 before 83.37 after. The guys are right you really need to find a guy that knows how to tune with a RT. The guy you talked to at V&H was wrong.

Has anyone had V&H Big Radius race tuned, and if so did the popping on decel lessen or go away
after the tune was done?

Popping on the overrun generally means the mixture is too weak (lean, I think you call it in the US).
