Gasman any tips for HD

[wildchild]

any thoughts of how difficult it would be to add air cleaner / pipes / and power commander III to the '09 with fuel inj.

wondering if it's a DIY project or if it's better handled by shop. I would prefer DIY but......

That is definitely a DIY project for ANY bike.

Agree with Rider.

But in Gas's mind, ANY job is a job for a DIY'er...

Yep.

The only part that may require a shop is if the changes require a custom tune on the PCIII.

There are 23 pre-canned maps available for his bike. One of those should be "good enough". Spending $300 for a full custom map is silly unless you are racing the bike, then yeah it might be worthwhile then.

I figured there would be maps available but I'm not familiar with his bike or the HD aftermarket in general.

There ya' go: 100% DIY.

this is the kind of info I was looking for. so you have used the PCIII?

How do you set it? instructions are useful for someone with mech ability?

funny I do all my own work on the cars and trucks, bikes I tend to stick to the easier end of things. brakes tires etc.

Yes I have installed them and they are very simple. Plug and play. You just need to decide what map you want to load. DL it to a laptop, then plug in the provided USB cable to the lappy and the PCIII and run the PCIII application. The directions are very straight forward.

The hardest part might be getting to the FI wires to connect the PCIII, but on a V-twin it's probably easier than an I-4. Don't forget to attach the battery wire.

May still have to get a custom map, those standard maps are made in Las Vegas. May have to get it better suited for Wisconsin.
