Truly to get the max performance from a bike a dyno'd PCIII (or equiv.) is the way to go. BUT you have to dyno the bike and readjust for every modification ... and then you have to do periodic dyno's just to keep up. You need to factor in initial equipment cost, initial setup and installation and dyno costs.
That said, on my 1500 I have a K&N filter and aftermarket pipes ... I got a Cobra 2 pot (before they made the 3 pot), one click on one pot and the bike was set. I have had the bike dyno'd, just for the heck of it... and like where its running. No hassle, low cost and runs fine (for 8 years now).
Hyperchargers seem to demand more tinkering to get the bike running properly...

- April 13, 2010, 08:20:56 AMHey SG- Thought I needed to update you. After installing new plugs, running a couple of tanks of gumout, and tinkering with my cobra fuel module I was able to lean the bike out pretty good. Then I took my bike into a new shop,where they took off the cobra part, had a new power commander installed (another $500). No more black pipes! Only the occasional pop after riding full bore down the interstate. I think the bike gets mad at me because I can only crusie through town at 30 miles an hour 
. I'm figuring with the hypercharger I am just going to have to live with the occasional pop at low speeds. The closest Dyno shop for me is a 2 hour ride so that will wait a little longer. My new mechanic is a keeper, very professional and up front. Hope your tune up solves your headaches too!

Anneoakley and myself have hyper chargers on our rides 1500s. mine is in the shop being dyno;d. Just want to know if you;ve had trouble with yours keeping it running.
Any help on both backrests and racks, or the hyper charger would be great.
