ok.. i've done some research but i'm still confused on which FMS to buy, it seems like opinions are all over the board. has anybody summarized the pros and cons of the ones available for our bikes? it would be helpful to have a list of what people are using and if they liked it, hated it, made sweet love to it or bashed it with a baseball bat.

Cobra Auto Tune and the EJK tuner are both really good. Lots of folks don't need a tuner. I have V&H Big Radius exhaust and a K&N filter and I'm still running rich. If i throw a BAK on her and she's still not lean I'll leave it alone.

EJK eh? now there's another one to check out. thanks.. i have V&H Slash pipes and they sound great but it runs pretty crappy now so i think another $250-$450 will be falling out of my pocket soon

i like 20% off. thanks for the tip.. so whats the selling point for you?
I'm sorry It's a $25 discount not 20%...so for $225 it's absolute the best bang for your buck. Several forum members have this and love it...my personal friend has it on his Stryker too and he has nothing but praise for it. The EJK tuner is manufactured by Dobeck Performance and they make some great stuff. They use Load Based instead of Alpha-N Tuningand also have shift on the fly capability.

Power commander 5 plus the auto tune.. I welded in a bung for the wide band after the collector and kept the stock o2 sensor as well. I found a map online that had my intake and pipes and uploaded it and ran it. Bike runs flawlessly and pulls harder than my dads 2011 Stryker with comparable mods but with the cobra unit.

Mind me asking how much money do you have wrapped up in that Fuel Management setup?

Ejk

i have the ejk on my bike. I have a cobra slip on and LA Choppers air filter kit. The EJK comes preset for a stage 1 modification (filter and pipes). I didnt have to make any adjustments to the setting that were already in the programer, as it was set good.. On a side note, EJK is made by dobeck performance, i have used their tuners in other bikes without any problems. If you look online you will find other tuners like BULLY, and Arlen Ness, and i believe the one that Vance and Hines has, these are all made by EJK. Oddly enough the EJK is cheaper when shopping around.

Yeah its a single. I debated with the dual, I contacted dyno jet and they recommended the single. They said unless I wanted to squeeze out every last potential horsepower out of the motor, there is no need for it. Thats not my goal for this bike so I opted for the single channel. I have the cobra powrflo intake and cobra speedster swept exhaust.

sure, I bought the PC5 and autotune when I bought the bike brand new. I also got the exhaust and other accessories too, my dealer offered me 25% off anything extra I wanted to buy. I was going to buy it regardless so I figured why not capitalize on a pretty good discount. I know the PC5 retails around $300 and the auto tune is $220... take the 25% off and I have a little under $400 invested in the fuel management system..

ut

I see the map for the speedster/speerhead but not the one for the one you are talking about(speedster/powerflo).
These are 2 different maps but you say it runs like a champ?

Do you need the auto tune or does that just make it easier?
