So, got the Dealer in Van Nuys, CA. to install the Race Tuner. For some reason, I thought some one was going to walk me through it, but alas: no conversation took place. I assume it is a Pre Set MAP for my 2-1 Pro Pipes and displacement size. The outcome: no Dyno to test it, tune it and get the $value$ out of the investment. That is, until....
I rode home from the shop, and the SEFB just roared along: no popping backfire sounds, no excess noise from the exhaust, just smoother riding throughout the powerbands and what feels to be an adjusted/tuned throttle response. I shut my mouth (hard to believe, huh?) and kept on riding for about 25 miles. I am hella impressed with this upgrade. But that makes me ask some questions...
Like why don't they have these features complete with the CVO in the first place? Not too many I know keep the stock pipes, right? So, why not have the options at the service desk for a nominal fee instead of the excessive aftermarket price tags? Why do I need the whole Screaming Eagle Race Tuner when a simple setting will do? And what did the dealer download when I installed the V&H ProPipe 2-1, some half assed version of the right stuff?
OK, so, I am happy, full of the questions of my childhood and going to ride all day today. I think I am lucky to be able to afford such things as aftermarket race tuners and chrome everythings. What about my brothers and sisters who want their SE Fat Boys tuned to potential, in top notch performance shape and can't afford a $500 tuner with an install of $140?
Why not just do it right from the gate instead of making it like a soap product " NEW & IMPROVED" ?
