Harlista. PM me a price on the PV.

Appreciate the feedback from everyone. I have researched the tuners, both PV and V&H FP. Never dyno tuned any of my bikes so just trying to get a better understanding of the pros/cons vs. tuner.

Its a license that allows more than 1 bike, actually as many as you want to use a single tuner. I don't much care to "show" you where you are most certainly wrong. Either you will look it up yourself or you will remain blissfully ignorant about this.

Yup, I've used my PV on 3 different bikes; it's cost me $199 per license.

You can use a tuner without a dyno.

You certainly can do a dyno run without a tuner, just can't make any adjustments

+1 on the FP3. The maps you download were originally created on a dyno anyway. Then, you do your autotune and no need for a dyno. The dyno will cost $300 - $400 after you purchase the tuner. The FP3 is all you need if you are just doing stage 1 and maybe a cam upgrade. I'm real happy with my setup.

Arguing semantics. He didn't technically say one had to own said tuner just that one had to be used, as was also pointed out. Not all tuners allow for additional licenses either.
