Spend the money get a Screamin Eagle Pro Race Tuner. With the Pro Tuner almost all ECM functions can be tweaked. Most of the aftermarket tuners are very limited.

Well I chose the SEPRT because it is a HD product. But you are misinformed about "ALL" aftermarket tuners.

believe it or not, there are people that don't have the know how or the desire to squeeze every last ity bitty ounce of hp/torque out of their bike with a fancy tuner that has a million adjustment points. swap the pipes, ac and a tuner that will operate their bike properly and they are happy. could they spend an extra 3-400 on a top notch tuner and another several hundred getting it dyno'd properly to absolutely maximize performance? yes. could they spend less and still be completely thrilled with a bike that performs extremely well, even though they are missing an extra 5hp? yep. believe it or not, some people don't have endless pockets for harley upgrades. lol.

Costs more than the pro tuner.

Edited because you edited...How much is the SEPRT? Got my PV from fuel moto for 450 or so. It includes a touch screen that eliminates the need for a computer and will auto tune...The SE is not even in the same category...

That's not a limitation. It is a consideration.

I'll accept "most" - can we do a group hug now?

I found choosing a tuner is always a tough decision, there are so many in the market serve the same purpose. Let's say you start with a PC micro for $249, fits your budget and minor engine modifications. Then you will think spending another $60 you get a better PCV, more features added. Now the Power vision costs another $100 on top of the PV and you don't have to piggy bag ecm, more programming at your finger tips. A few months on the road, you add another auto-tuning module and make it better. I do think the PV, Master tune and SERT are pretty much the same, maybe one has a little more than the others, who knows which is the best? As long as you are happy with your tuner, don't regret and change. My rules, if it aint broke, don't fix it.

FYI Direct auto parts is selling the PV for $419 Click here but I still recommend Fuelmoto, double the warranty, tech support and in house dyno map is worth paying extra, they rock!

SEPRT here as well because the builder recommend it even though he doesn't sell any parts. He recommended it because how much adjustment can be made across the entire RPM range.
