Target tune- Why did I wait?
Finally added target tune. After getting updated on my power vision, software, and getting my tune file covered to TT capable, I installed the kit into my 2014 street glide special. Followed instruction sheet, straight forward install. Loaded the updated tune file and fired the bike up. Immediately sounded and idled better. More crisp than before. Set up live channels on the PV to see the set AFR as lambda, and also set up front and rear lambda actual. The system just simply works! The bike runs so much better in all areas, but especially pulls hard to red line even better. I did run a auto tune to dial in the VE tables, mainly because I could with wide bands, and also I like the VE cells to be as accurate as possible. BUT, with target tune, the bike runs to the AFR table values, so VE tables need not be optimized. That's the beauty of target tune. The only down side is I can't stay out the throttle! The up side is that I just put a new back tire on last month. A must have for those who want their bike to run like it should!
I used a 2009 head pipe. No cat, and has the 18mm oxygen sensor bungs.

I'll be following this closely as I'm intrigued by the idea but not sure of the advantages. I'm running a 2014 twin cooled, fuel moto head pipes, & auto tuned with the "pro" version so the upgrade seems easy. My bike runs great now after a series of auto tunes so I'm not sure what there is to gain?

I had planned on putting a stage I on as soon as I bought the bike but quickly learned there were a lot of options out there and I don't want to make a hasty purchase. I plan on keeping this bike for a while and would like to build the motor eventually.

PowerVison and TT added
I added a PowerVision and TargetTune to my 2015 Ultra yesterday. Used a K&N air filter under the stock cover, 2009 head pipe, and SE Fat Shotz mufflers. The entire exhaust system was from my previous 2009 FLHTC that I had put true-duals on.
Took me, myself, and I about 3.5 hours to switch over the pipes and install the PowerVision and TT, much of it sitting or laying on cold concrete, but it was worth it. Haven't gotten a chance to ride it yet, but it sounds about 1000 times better and the throttle is MUCH more responsive.
Didn't have money for a new head pipe and TargetTune, so I had to decide between one or the other. From talking to Fuel Moto, they said I'd be better off going with my 09 head pipe and TT vs. a new Jackpot head pipe without TT. The Jackpot head pipe I was considering cost more than the TT, so I assume they were being 100% honest with me, as they would have made more money on the head pipe if they were only concerned about sales. They told me unless I had a lot of other mods, then there isn't much difference, performance-wise, between the 09 head pipe and a Jackpot or similar.
Now I just need the snow and ice off the road so I can take this thing for a ride!
