I've always been grateful in genuine helpful replies, I've also contributed enormously by seeing things through at every stage and it should be of some help to others not to mention changing headers photos and the crap i had to take for that (which was your idea) but it's the other crap I've had to put up with that lead me to post what I did! Seems any old Tom, dick or Harry can voice their opinions on me and seem supported, I voice my reaction (not now but other times) and get a grilling! What I said still stands!
Regarding your help offered, sorry, don't mean to be ungrateful but welding parts to my headers is not for me, but I see your point! My view is that these headers were designed for my bike, therefore it should work without welding extra bits on.
PH, the worst thing you can do on this forum is respond defensively, or even aggresively, to the ribbing and jibes dished out on the forum. Once you do, you are seen as fair game and a target of opportunity.
When I used to ask dumb questions, and from time to time I still do, I was (and am) ribbed, but I learned not to react, otherwise my threads would never yield the answers I wanted.
Anyway, to come back to your options in order of preference:
1. Map your bike
2. Fit an off the shelf set of maps (TM)
3. Fit a fueller
The first is the best and this applies to both your own ECM or an EBR Racing one, but to do this, you need to know what is going on in each cylinder, and you can only do this by understanding the AFR from the individual exhaust streams, i.e. put two lambda bosses on (or add sample ports - but they don't lend themselves to logging and mapping)
The second is an easy solution, someone else has done the above job, not sure how well they will have done it, but they will have done it all the same. The only issue with this is that the map may not address the problems you want to fix, i.e. the popping on the decel, the lumpy idle, cos at the end of the day, one man's meat is another man's poison. Some people like popping decels, some people like lumpy idles etc. Anyway, the other risk is that the map has been created on a bike which is not identical to yours...
The third is using a sledge hammer to crack a nut. The fuellers available for Buells, apart from maybe the PCV for 1125 (which should work on yours anyway), will not allow you to alter front and rear maps, instead only allowing a blanket map for front and rear, which is not going to give you the optimum maps. Besides, without understanding the individual cylinder AFRs, you cannot even optimise the PCV to work with your bike. And as Gunter pointed out, the fueller is not going to address lumpy idles and popping on the over-run.
If you don't want to do 1, The way forward has to be 2.
I have no more to say on this subject, except that you are missing a great opportunity in not lobbying FS or Trojan to help out with a set of slave Aero 45 primaries.
