Dobeck GEN 3 install on 09 Ultra
First off I ordered the GEN 3 a couple of months ago, so I would have it when the snow melted. I called tech support and made sure I ordered the right #, and received the Military discount. The unit only took a couple of day to get to my house. Now I had to wait, for the temp to go up and the snow to go down…
Finally nice weather, the hardest part of the install was the pre ride… 200 miles plus to empty the winter gas out knowing the GEN 3 is sitting in the garage on the bench. Using the included instructions and the HD service manual it went pretty fast. Take off seat; disconnect battery (neg. side); remove fuel tank; run wires threw back bone; unclip plugs on Injectors, clip to GEN 3 harness back on to injectors; locate connector at each O2 sensor; unplug, clip the supplied bypass connectors on. Put the bike back together. I ran the GEN 3 wire harness in front of the battery, the unit is mounted behind the left side panel next to the fuse box. I took the mounting screws from the fuse box to give me some room to tuck the unit between the frame and the fuse box for clean look. I connected the wire from the unit with the neg. wires to the battery. Turned the ignition on; and lights flashed on unit indicating a good install.
After hitting the first gas station I went on a long ride. Fills like a new bike; lots more power, deeper exhaust rumble, seems a little cooler. Gas Mileage is down a bit (5 mpg), however this is just my first tank so will see. I have a little bog at around 65-70 MPH, for a second or two, than off we go. FYI the stage one was done at the same time, it took me about 1 ½ hours total. It is a pretty easy install, with basic tools. Sorry no pictures, I haven’t mastered that skill on this site yet.
