Default No More Downloads?

I was at my local dealer yesterday and inquired about a download while pricing an exhaust and ac. I was told HD doesn't do that anymore and I had to buy a tuner. Is that correct?

That's news to me. I had a Stage One download at my dealer just last October. I really am pleased with it, my bike runs great. I think your dealer is just trying to "up sell" you.


I forgot to say...........since I bought my slipons and SE airbox from the dealer and had him install everything, the download was FREE! The whole cost of everything was V&H Twin Slash Slip ons....$325.........SE airbox.........$109.......labor.........$60....... ....download.........
FREE



Total for everything...............$512 with tax.


I spent well over $1,400 for my last bike with the Power Commander, and it never ran as good as this one does with the simple download.

Since I bought my bike and all the parts from him, my dealer did my download for free.
