Default programmer/tuner help please

I thought that I had a pretty good idea what I wanted but then I did a search on the forum and officially have no flippin' clue.

I've got an 08 FLHX and I will be putting Reinhart TD's and Big Sucker AC.
I would like to know what I need as far as a tuner - and maybe sensors?

I don't plan on doing any other motor work any time soon, and all I use my bike for is cruising around, occasional spirited riding.

As with a lot of people these days, I am on a tight budget and would like the most affordable solution that is also good for the bike.

Thanks in advance for everyones help.

Most affordable = Stage I download from dealer.

My recommendation = Self Learning Module (SLM) by Accel.

I've also used a SERT and Revtech DFO as well as HD downloads. SLM may set you back a few bucks but it will tune to anything you throw at it without the need to be a computer genius and without the need for costly dyno runs. Its about as plug-n-play as you can get.

Get it dyno tuned.
Its the only way to get your bike tuned to exactly what you have on your bike.
I took all the baby steps trying to save money with tuners. In the end getting a dyno gave me what I was looking for. A perfectly responsive bike with constant power through every gear.
I'm just sayin...

But don't forget you need a tuner to get it dyno tuned.
