either of the air intakes look good on the bike, just a matter of personal preference. As to the tuner - if you can afford it, I say go for the power commander V and have it dyno tuned to your bike.

I've got Powerflo, Slip-on and Cobra Autotune- No problems. Son has Homemade BAK, V&H Big Radius, and Cobra FI2000 adjustable. No problems.

I hear ya Mikoloe - just speaking of my troubling experience with the Cobra powrpro cvt - seems like the luck of the draw, on which bike ya got and how all your mods come together... on how well it will work.

Ask yourself this question: If I have to put my bike on a dyno, why do I need a PCV?

miko - hmm.. good question.. i didn't know that if they dyno'd it.. that they would just reprogram the bikes computer... i am really ignorant regarding exactly how that works and what the capabilities are of our bikes puter... just thought they were limited and not very flexible = tis why ya had to have a go around...

The way I understand it, is that the dyno gives you a controlled environment in which to test the settings of the fuel management unit under heavy acceleration, therefore making sure the settings are correct. The dyno settings get "mapped" to the PCV, which insures the bike always (in the optimum environment) performs the same way it did while on the dyno. The Cobra PowrPro Auto Tuner doesn't require a dyno, because it dynamically adjusts the settings for the current environment. But, units like the EJK / G-Man Bully offer more flexibility, because you can tune it in real-time, even while you're riding the bike. The PCV, again from what I understand, has to have a pre-programmed "map" uploaded to it, so it knows how to control the injectors. If you ride in a drastically changing environment, the PCV will be less effective, because it has a map for a different environment. (Humidity, elevation, etc.) The Cobra Auto-Tuner would, in theory, adjust itself to what it THINKS is the best settings for that environment, and the EJK/ Bully you could adjust manually for the best results.

I could be WAY off, but from all the research I've done, that's the way I understand it. ;-)

Has anyone here installed both new exhaust and air intake kits without an auto tune/power commander? What exactly happens if you do? I thought that if you unplugged the O2 Sensor and battery that when you put everything back together the bike was equipped to retune itself?
