Which is the best setup for Vance & Hines FP3 with Red Thunder 2:2 touring exhausts?

Let’s say… you have at least Stage 1 (air intake + exhaust) on your Road Glide, then the next step is to remap the factory mapping.

You can use many alternatives, some of which might be done by your dealer, while this article covers probably the most famous unit available in the market for almost all models of Harley-Davidson with a comprehensive and dedicated list of exhausts from all brands. You don’t find your brand? Well, V&H will tell you which map to use!

My performance accessories are:

• • Air intake: V&H VO2 naked
  • Exhaust: Red thunder 2:2 with slip ons
  • Spark plugs: NGK iridium IX
  • Spark cables: Sumax 10.8mm
  • Battery cables: Sumax extreme duty

Which is the best map available? This one: Vance & Hines Monster Round slip ons w/Power Duals standard baffle

Then, what about “Decel pop“? Leave it OFF to have the max Pop from exhaust!

What about throttle progressivity? For the 2020 model, does not apply as the bikes ship from the factory with 1:1 settings already (equivalent to our Race 1:1).

Next step? Start and perform autotune! Follow these steps

**Be advised that while Autotune is active the bike will not perform optimally. The AFR table is not optimized, and the cranking fuel/accel enrichment are turned off. This may translate into poor cold start performance, erratic idle, poor throttle response, and general ride quality issues. These will resolve once you ‘Finish’ the Autotune. Letting the bike fully warmup before riding while Autotune is active will help to slightly diminish some of these symptoms.

1) Go to the Autotune tab in the main menu of the app.

2) Select a  base map from which to start (select whichever slot your correct map is in, most likely slot 1 if this is a brand new FP3.

3)Select ‘Quick Setup’

4) It will have you flash the bike to run Autotune, follow the in app instructions (i.e. bike off for 30 seconds, etc.)

5) Once Autotune is active, you’ll want to break it down into 3 sessions, approx. 20-60 minutes each.

6) After your first 20-60 minute session, open the app and go into the Autotune section. Select ‘Apply Values’ and ‘Apply’. This will take the data learned and store it, allowing for more data to be collected.

7) After the second 20-60 minute session do the same thing – ‘Apply Values’ and then ‘Apply’.

8) After the 3rd total session, select ‘Apply Values’ and then select ‘Finish’. This will complete the Autotune, taking everything learned from each ‘Apply’ and will build the map/put it into a new slot.

NOW, enjoy your bike!

Brand product description

Klock Werks Flare™ is the ORIGINAL windshield of its kind, and has surprised riders everywhere with not only how great it looks, but also with how well it performs.

The innovative design features “hips” at the outer edge of the shield that re-route the air to add downforce to the front of the bike, improving stability vs riding with a stock shield. The “flip” at the top of the Flare™ is designed to kick the air up and back as “clean”, less turbulent air for the rider and passenger.

Made from hard-coated polycarbonate material for added durability.

The Sport Flare™ for 2015-2020 FLTR is more streamlined and offers radical curves and a sportier stance. It compliments the lines of the new fairing with a more aggressive profile, and aids stability and handling with improved air management. Still awesome for the long haul, definitely kool for showing off your ride!

My personal product review

The windshield from @klockwerks has been the first purchase I’ve done upon the purchase of the new bike and, to be honest, it truly awesome.

Riding: difference between the original HD one and the Flare can be felt in any type of riding, in highway at high speeds, under the rain and also riding up in the mountains. It avoids the odd air disturbance with the helmet and the visibility of the street in front of you it’s great. I’ve bought the smoked one, but to be honest the black one would have been “too much” dark. 

Esthetics: it a huge huge improvement of the factory one, it makes the front of the bike much more sporty while giving a touch of class with the curves that follow the bike. 

Installation: a screwdriver and 5 min are enough! Easy for everyone!

It’s a great solution and not so expensive to cover all your needs at any time.

Good work @klockwerks ! Wanna try in future the bigger ones!

My personal product review

The quality of the material can be understood immediately when you take them off the box, heavy and massive.

The grip on the floorboards and brake pedal is perfect even under heavy rain, same for the shifter pegs which have no rubber inserts.

They look awesome with the black engine and bike parts and they truly make the difference from other bikes. No one will walk away from your bike not noticing those awesome pieces or art.
