Cobra Fi2000 Tri Pot Fuel Controller

Yes, if you were to select the 2019 Kawasaki VN900C Vulcan 900 Custom fuel controller from our fit guide, you'd receive the correct unit to fit your machine.

The VTX1800N and R models will both use the same fuel tuner. This tuner does require you to tap into the factory wiring harness, it is not recommended unless you are having a certified mechanic install it. I would suggest the Cobra Fi2000R fuel controller over the Tri Pot as you would have direct plug in harnesses on the FI2000R controller. You can find that tuner by searching "Cobra Fi2000R Fuel Controller" in our store search bar.

This unit is compatible, just be sure to select your exact model 2007 Honda VTX1800F. This tuner does require you to tap into the factory wiring harness, it is not recommended unless you are having a certified mechanic install it. I would suggest the Cobra Fi2000R fuel controller over the Tri Pot as you would have direct plug in harnesses on the FI2000R controller. You can find that tuner by searching "Cobra Fi2000R Fuel Controller" in our store search bar.

The controllers come configured by Cobra to work with a full aftermarket exhaust system, so it'll be pretty close to what you actually need for your exact configuration. Just install the unit and see how the bike runs on your first ride. From there, just refer to the included instructions to see what changes you may want to make based on that first ride and go from there. The modifications you're planning on are certainly within the realm of adjustment capabilities of the fuel controller itself.

Functionally speaking, there's no difference between the Fi2000 and the Fi2000R. The only difference is the means of installation. That R variant comes ready-to-plug into the OEM wire harness. That is to say, it has connectors that make it a plug-and-play setup and, should you choose to remove the device later on, it's as simple as unplugging the kit and pulling the ground wire off the battery. The base Fi2000 version requires that you do a little more work using T-taps to wire into the OEM harness. The latter really isn't a difficult operation, but it will leave permanent changes to the wire harness upon installation since you'll have those T taps left on the wire harness. Should you choose to remove the device later on, you'll want to wrap electrical tape over those inclusions in the wiring.

The black wire on the Fi2000 Tri Pot for the VTX1800 is actually the ground wire and is to be attached to the frame on the bike. Cobra recommends that you attach this to the M10 bolt that's just to the right and below the VTX1800 ECU.

Unfortunately, Cobra does not produce a Tri Pot fuel controller to fit the Nomad 1600, although they do produce two different fuel controllers to fit that bike. The first is the Fi2000R Fuel Controller - that unit acts the same way as the Tri Pot fuel controller except it has OEM-type connectors to make installation a snap. You can tune it in a manner similar to that of a carburetor. The included instructions explain clearly how to go about setting your Nomad to work with the Fi2000R. If you want something that allows a lot more in the way of functionality, check out the Cobra PowrPro Black fuel controller. This particular unit adjusts fueling while you ride, so you'll always get the best possible engine performance and throttle response regardless of your bike's configuration, fuel used or atmospheric conditions. All you need is an Android or iOS smart phone to set it up. You don't need to get to the unit itself any time you want to change fueling.

Cobra's Fi2000 isn't a self-adjusting tuner, but rather comes preset from Cobra to work with the stock engine and an aftermarket exhaust. The unit comes with three dials on it which are to be used for adjusting fuel deliver on your bike. The included instructions provide an excellent step-by-step guide to get the most of the fuel tuner. It's actually pretty similar to tuning a carburetor: idle/cruise dial: used for correcting surging or uneven running at idle or constant throttle input. Typically, most bikes run lean from the factory, and especially with the installation of an aftermarket exhaust system. You'll find that this will probably have the greatest effect from the outset when setting up this tuner to work on your bike. acceleration dial: used to tune out hesitation or bogging when you grab a lot of throttle. Should you change to a high-efficiency air filter, for example, you'll most likely be making adjustments here. top end dial: typically, you won't need to make any adjustments here since emissions testing isn't done at full throttle. No less, if you find that the bike stumbles or doesn't run right at high RPM, you'll need to adjust this particular dial. Also, in the event you significantly modify the intake with the installation of an aftermarket air cleaner or modify the cylinder head, you'll have to spend some time making adjustments here.
