I went to Portugal just after I fitted the AF-XIED and it was still getting better when I got back.....I'm the same as Comberjohn, a long way to travel to get a Hilltop, and there is a resale value.
AF-XIED for a standard bike?

Knew I had seen this pic somewhere. They kept it in water for 32 hours and it still worked ok. They don't make any claims that they're waterproof but obviously ok for purpose.

Took almost two weeks before they released mine..
What makes you uncomfortable with buying direct from the US?
I've ordered mine... it was really easy... not arrived yet to be fair but I don't anticipate any issues given how many other things I've had shipped over.

As I started this thread, I should post some thoughts now I've had my units fitted for a few weeks.
I've only done 400 miles or so but the bike is feeling better with every ride. As others have said - no dramatic step change but a gradual improvement each time I use it.
The fattening of the midrange torque is now very noticeable and it pulls like a train from 4K or so. For the first time ever, the front wheel picked up off the throttle while accelerating hard in second going over a very slight rise
In short, I wish I'd got them a couple of years ago and I'd recommend them to anyone.
Thanks everyone for the advice

Glad to hear everyone is so pleased with their AF XiED units.
Maybe this will encourage Nightrider to appoint a distributor here. They seem to very popular in the States where they're used on other models like the 800 twin as well as the K1200/1300/1600 engines. Many of which need only one unit, so much cheaper to buy.
What I still don't understand is, why are they still queuing up to get a re map at hilltop?
Yes, it works well, but what's the advantage? You can lie to your insurance company, but mine wasn't bothered about my AF XiED units anyway.
Is it any more powerful? No one can say for sure but only person who has had both, says he can't tell the difference. If pushed, he favours the AF XiED units.
Of course, you can't bum about your bike being on the dyno and getting that vital power graph, showing before and after.

Suppose it worries me if something goes wrong with item being lost in transit or receiving a faulty unit
If UK based then issues easier to sort
Probably will order from them but it's a lot of money too lose if something goes wrong

Unfortunately that's exactly what happened to mine - sat in Coventry for two weeks waiting for the Royal Mail to pull their fingers out if their collective arses.
Wish I'd thought about this while I was in the states last summer
