I appreciate the bit about where you can relocate the tuner. Simple install, but still great tips. Thanks for sharing

[@geoffozevans4500]

Be a good idea to keep an eye in your FP3 app for the correct map, V & H will definitely make one specifically for the exhaust you have 👍👍😎

[@rodneyhirsch2340]

Boise Idaho harley will always honor your warranty. I've talked with owner, he is a great example of how you should treat customers and employees. Going to be tuning my daughters street rod first, put on a new slip on, sounds great. Have to save up money to do my low rider.

[@nbt3663]

I love the flag on the wall! Very cool to display that.

[@MrBullet888]

Best thing I did for my Low Rider was put the tuner on. Open air and exhaust upgrade with the tuner turned it into a different bike.

[@Xr8Crue]

great vid...looking forward to seeing what power gains are like with the new bike

[@JV-tk6uo]

Good video. I've been having trouble with my FP3 on my 17 fatboy S with the 110. I just installed the bassani sweepers exhaust. Just like u had on your Lowrider S. At the dealership my bike was throwing alot of codes. that the fualpack wasnt getting. I think I need to get ahold of Vince n Hines to see what's up with it

[@gregbaker2278]

Just got my FP3 yesterday! Can't wait to wake up my Sporty!

[@Blort440]

Two questions: How long is that stock seat comfortable for you? Do you think taller pullback handlebars would look ok on the FXDR?

[@Ed.Johnson]

Did you do Dyno runs stock, intake, exhaust, tune. Supprising sometimes a tune on a stock bike results in more gain than pipes. Would be interesting to see where the most gains are and how good the stock intake was. Thanks for the videos; makes the winters go a little quicker.

[@pacopetepnw3434]

0:47 That FXDR is too cool! Keep going Block! :))

[@robertlumsden942]

when I did my stage one I went with the se pro tuner just in case of warranty issues. got 2 years of warranty so don't want to jeopardize. you are pretty tight with Orlando Harley so you probably checked with them I am sure.

[@wesleybarnett5263]

gotta get that for mine soon. also I didn't know it read the codes too. as always awesome video

[@Hiensfy20376]

I'm trying to install Vance Hines tunner on my 2018 roadking but having a lil trouble

[@neek__7898]

Nice informative video. Looking at the bike I wonder if there'll be a swing arm bag option & if it would even look right on this bike..? A little more storage space is always nice to have.

[@rebel_ltz]

That would look like a leather swingarm bag on a supermoto.

[@geoffozevans4500]

On your app you'll find that the V & H pro pipe option when selecting the map. Its a 2 into 1 pipe so you may be better off using that option, also you could contact V & H, bettet to have the correct map running rather than using generic, hope this helps . I like a at the pro pipe & it looks very similar to the Bassani 👍👍😎

[@geoffozevans4500]

@@elithegreat6463 thanks buddy 👍👍😎

[@wallyirallac9433]

Really nice vid bro. Have you ever heard of HD ecu's learning new maps when you change intake and exhaust? Im skeptical and think you need a programmer. Thanks

Just picked up a brand new 19 FXDR and for the life of me I'm having trouble deciding what to upgrade, thoughts?

[@VTwinNow]

Just curious, I’m assuming get lowered provided you with the fuelpak, but it’s still cool with them (get lowered) that you also provided links to purchase the tuner at revzilla ?

Hi blackhead I've just bought a new 114 fatboy I've asked them to put a Vance and Hines big radious exhaust on whilst it's in there shop The guy said the need to remap it also Does this mean they will be doing what you have done so a stage 1 ?

[@dougm7737]

Since you guys are such gear heads i know you can help a brother out on this question. I have the FP3 and did wires and plugs, do i need to retune or should it be ok? Thankyou!! Love your channel!!

[@Jnu925]

BLOCKHEAD, I've never used one b4, do you actually noticed a difference in fuel consumption with it on??

[@amg5795]

Can you actually do Stage 2 with Fp3 and second question if yes. Can you get same great results as Screaming eagle at dealership at Dyno ?

[@nikhilbharath5417]

Bro .... Can we change the whole seat ?? And then change it to a bigger one like street 750/ street rod etc.,...??

[@20MAC20]

question ... when you go to hookup the FP3 and there is only 5 pins but a place for the 6th pin but no pin. is this correct or am I missing a pin for a what ever reason. help

[@bigj200016]

That’s what I ended up doing with my FP3 on my FLSB. Just hide it between frame rail and mono shock under seat. Pain in the but

[@bigd7328]

Excellent video

[@mikeyj2024]

That red 114 looks slick

[@hartzellglj]

Blockhead, why did you choose that tuner? Can you PW protect that so some chump can't just roll up and retune your bike? Pretty sure that auto tune will just try to change your AFR to 14.7:1 since you only have 12mm O2 sensors. Good for mileage, crappy for performance. Also, I'll swap you timing covers from an FXFBS for the one from your FXDR. Let me know... thanks for the vid.

[@Rizzel101]

I wanted him so bad to say at 9:00 "For those that don't know what that means your warrantee is not void". Great vid. How is that fuel pack treating you. Was looking into that one too! Please let us know how you like it!

[@judgenorman5524]

Now that your bike is done with exhaust and air ,you know Ms Blockhead will not wait for her new bike to be done also!! LOL

[@-CLASSIFIED-]

i see that rear wheel spash fender guard thing is removed now lol

[@ILike2Tinker]

I'll be interested to know if you have any issues in the heat. I have a 2018 street bob, live in Vegas, and after my engine was good and hot if I filled up on gas and immediately started riding it would go into limp mode after ~1 mile. It didn't happen if I let it sit a little after fueling. This issue persisted even after getting a new ECM and and changing tuners to the DynoJet Power vision. Still no resolution for me. I just take my time when gassing up now.

[@mtomasello]

I have this FP3 on my 17 Iron 883, I live in Vegas too. Heat hasn't been a problem for it. I have this thing tucked into my battery cover area.

[@WoodyRides]

I need it in my life! 🤤

[@andrewmetz9672]

The FP3 seems easy to install, but doesn’t it void your factory warranty? And you spoke of having previous experience with these tuners... I have the MoCo’s Street Tuner (cuz warranty) with my stage 1, but would like to use the FP3 with an aftermarket cam, do you know of any ECM “marriage” issues from going from the Street tuner to the FP3?

[@hartzellglj]

Some dealers care that you use a tuner and aftermarket parts, some don't. Marriage isn't a problem. Basically it just locks that tuner to that VIN number. That way you can't but one and go tune everyone's bike.

[@cameronwilkinson8953]

Hey Blockhead, I would e-mail V&H ask them what they suggest and run a few autotuned sessions. When done you can send them the map and they will tweak it for you. FP3 is what I use for stage 1 applications, if I go bigger stage 2 cams etc then I would use Power Vision or Thundermax. I think you will be fine enjoy or channel.

[@SwarnimAgrawal]

What happens when you have a torque cam?

[@superduty131]

So, with Harley getting VERY tuff on the warranty of the motor. Are you concerned about having voided the warranty? I Have been told by more than one dealership that if the stock exhaust is replaced and or an aftermarket tuner is used, than the warranty is null and void. A friend of mine just had to have his 2019 CVO Street Glides motor replaced with only 600 miles on it. Was told if any changes had been made such as the ones mentioned than the warranty would definitely be voided. The motor was replaced because it sumped. Just curious of what you know about this. Thanks for the video.

[@CaiCaijr2012]

Curious about this also.

[@youdontknowjake]

Just to let you know. Update your firmware. Huge update happened and a lot more exhaust systems are available on the FP3. Made my day yesterday.

[@tmontana213]

I bought a '19 Slim and it's just as much a pain in the ass to find a place to store the FP3. I haven't ran AutoTune so I'm looking forward to seeing how it's done.

[@martyncockerill8724]

The FP3 doesn’t need to be kept on the bike unless you want to run auto tune, otherwise flash your map and leave it in the garage

[@24kabuki]

Yep That's what I did when I flashed my '19 Slim last week. FP3 back in the box. Bike is running smooth with more get up and go for sure. Butt dyno approved!

[@MEDIAxLUNA650]

I have a 2019 street bob. I want to put a new exhaust do I need a fuel pack if I'm just putting a exhaust

[@gorion70]

Just mufflers, no. Full system, Yes

[@jobeta22]

What is the typical MPG loss on a 2019 FLTRXS doing a Stage 1???? I am planning on the Wedge cleaner, SE tuner and Cobra Neighbor Haters. Thank you for any help.

[@superduty131]

I have the same bike and did all screamin eagle stage I parts and saw no loss in mpg. I typically get 43mpg average.

[@jobeta22]

Thank you for your quick reply. What exhaust are you running??? My concern is that on my other bikes I have done Stage 1s and my MPG went down too much. I travel long distances so the less gas stops I can do, the better for the trip. I went to Texas from Pennsylvania and I had to stop every 150-160 miles to fuel on a 2012 FLSTN. On my new bike, I did 250 miles stops and I only had to put around 5 gallons to fill. A 750 miles day is easier when you only have to stop for fuel 3 times and not 5 times.

[@tonymobbs7738]

if this is stage 1 what's stage 2? and how many different stages are there you can do? and what does each one involve?

[@rebel_ltz]

Look it up. Stage 2 is Stage 1 + new camshaft(s).

[@rollinamerica]

What's this tunner go to? Stage 2, Stage 3?

[@bobhog3969]

Do I need a remap with a full exhaust system or can I get away with it. Stock air cleaner

[@seanchapman5959]

Bob Hog when buying your exhaust it usually says if you need to remap, but generally no

[@bodieb316]

I see you took off the rear fender, nice.

[@WhiskyJackR]

Hi, love the idea of doing a stage 1 myself. If you go this route and do a stage 1 yourself and also use the V&H FP3 what is the impact on warrantee?

[@Slking507]

Voids the powertrain warranty.

[@TheZachjsr]

Voids the PT warranty unless you get SE parts and get them installed by a HD tech

[@jamessherbaugh5996]

Seeing that you don't like the orange stripe on the tank maybe you could get some automotive vinel in gold. then you should be able to put it over the orange yourself.

[@zen2327]

Can you use an FP3 on multiple bikes or can they only work with one bike at a time?

[@BlockheadMoto]

One bike only, marries to one bike VIN and can’t be used to tune others. You can use it to read trouble codes on other bikes though.

[@zen2327]

BLOCKHEAD Awesome thanks for he info and the great videos! I have a 2018 Fatbob 114 and I’m trying to decide if I want to get just slip on or full exhaust. I’m thinking of going for the short shots or the l rinehart mufflers

[@jhall19k45]

So does this device eliminate the need for a dyno tune?

[@anthonyfxbb9040]

j hall19k I’m curious myself about this as well

[@jerrysanders9101]

[@danielney6]

Is the coil on the left as stock on the FXDR?

[@mikepetticrew7167]

I was told that the 114’s already have a high flow air cleaner from factory. Any truth to this?

[@robertlumsden942]

that is correct.

[@mikepetticrew7167]

robert lumsden any benefit to aftermarket other than style if that is the case? Or is high flow just high flow and that is that?

[@robertlumsden942]

not sure really. cfm is the amount of air it can pull that is about it and how much is enough. an engineer might be able to answer this.

I used that map when I did my Stage I and it was TERRIBLE!!!! Even after running autotune for a bit it was never right. Best bet is to email V&H through the app. I did that and they suggested a different map to start with, then to upload that to them and they made some changes and I re-applied changes. WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!

[@hartzellglj]

😂

[@Sportybob]

Weaver Kevin on the contrar any stage uplode or upgrades does not afect the waranty

[@scurvydawg238]

So 1200c, the warranty is technically voided because the tuner isn't of the Screaming Eagle variety, but it is really up to the selling/servicing dealer to report it to corporate. I technically voided the warranty on my HD when I pulled the catalytic converter off even though I used the HD tuner. Bottom line, it's Blockhead's bike and I'm sure he's got it covered if the issue comes up.

[@Sportybob]

Jim Ashley didnt consider the V/H port thanks

I heard it sometimes doesn't work with some android phones, thus wasting your money and breaking your motorcycle.

[@Lawrence_L.A._Auble]

The only way to truly tune an EFI bike is to Dyno and use a TTS Tuner and actually remap the HD. You're just running a program on top of the HD. You know like Windows running a Mac!? Right? I understand it's the cheapest way but, this advise of using these fuel packs is bad and will damage a motor in the long run, bro.
