Just purchased an 07 Road King that was box stock (SNOOOZZZZ). Bike ran OK, pretty HoHum on acceleration, really lacking on rumble and talk about heat !!!! Holy Crap!!!! It felt like I was riding Grandma”s wood stove !

I got the 32″ Sampson Silver Bullet Exhaust System. (Love them fish tails) That took care of the rumble part. I was told by my local H-D dealer that I needed to do a “stage one” download, to “fatten up the fuel mixture”, $159, while it was there, I decided to change out the air box to the Stage One. Better performance but still had the “nut roasting” heat!!

I road it to another city nearby and stopped by the harley shop to browse. While I was there I noticed my right side pipe was starting to show a yellowish tinge. Crap ! I went inside totally pissed, and asked the service mgr why H-D was running their bikes so damn hot. I got the standard “to meet EPA specs crap”. I told him what was going on with my bike and that I was very unhappy about my $500 pipes starting to yelllow and tired of the “roasted nut syndrome”

He then “educated” me on what was going on. He said the stage one is OK with a pipe change OR a breather change. If you do both you need the SE pro tuner and a Dyno to remap your EFI system. A bit pricey- $459 for the part and $250 for the Dyno time and labor, but at that point, I was ready for any relief from that heat! I knew that kind of engine temp could not be good for the motor over the long term.

Did the deed !!! and I could not believe the difference. The bike runs like a harley is supposed to. Gained 9 HP and 7 ft lbs of torque. The bike runs like a different bike, it’s great !!! Idles good, great throtle response, amazing performance and NO MORE ROASTED NUTS !!!!

If your a skeptic or a cheap skate, go ahead burn your motor up and neuter yourself by fire at the same time! Go for the SE Pro Tuner and Dyno tune and you won’t regret it. If your shop doesnt have a Dyno, go to another shop that does.

I am finding this info very helpful. I just bought an ‘09 Super Glide Custom and decided to have a set of Samson Legend Series Ripsaws, along with the Screamin’ Eagle Super Tuner and Air Cleaner installed at my 1000 mi. check-up. I was wondering whether or not it was going to be something that had to be constantly tweaked with. Am I correct in assuming that once it’s done, and done right, that I’ll probably never have to worry about it? I bought it at Twin City Harley in Mpls, MN and they told me their Dyno guy is recruited from Millwaukee, and is the best. (typically spends 3+ hrs dyno-tuning a bike) charging me $413.96 for the tuner and said it’s 10% off. $134.96 for air cleaner. I’m like a kid on Xmas eve just thinkin’ about the noise I’m gonna make. course, from what I’ve read about the ripsaws, maybe too loud……if there is such a thing. stay in the wind, Dan

I have a Heritage Soft tail Clasic 2004, with a Tailgunner sidewinder two into one exhaust that has the rotating cannon. Also the bike has a stage II big bore kit 95CI kit installed with 203, cams and cast pistons that came with the kit. V & H supplied me with a map that was used with the originally installed fuel pack this was recommended by the dealer. This did not work at all, popping bucking bad gas milage. I had the bike dyno tuned . It produced 70 hp with 80 fp TQ. I was not happy the dyno tuners told me to get a power commander. I was at another dealer who did educate me and told me that the bike with a Fuel Pack with the upgrades that I had installed has to be remapped or re flashed with any set up that changes air flow. I bit the bullet and purchased the new screaming eagle pro race tuner. This dealer for the charge of downloading the new map, cost included with the race tuner and with 1.5 hrs of labor for the setting up the race tuner and test driving the bike was $581. Expensive, I know it does not include the cost of the mistake I made with the Fuel Pack. The bike now runs perfect. The bike seems to have great power and TQ no popping on deceleration or bucking. The new race tuner does not come with the cables or software, you have to purchase them seperately. You can purchase the cables, yes for $39, the software is $29, you can also purchase the training software another $30 to learn to do the map downloading and tune your bike yourself.
I guess what I want to offer is to do your homework and research, Yes they are right the race tuner is married to the bike that it first downloads to and the cables and software that used to come all in one package is not presently included. I am very happy with the power and performance at this time. I just want to caution people if you want your fuel injected bike with complex upgrades to run correctly and you are not an expert you should find one or a great dealer with very experienced mechanics. I did I was lucky. I just wanted to share my experience.
I love my Harley I have a great time riding it. I taught myself to ride at 55 and am now
60 and I am still having fun.

Ride safe
