This is just my opinion, but if all you're doing is a Stage One (airbox and pipes), a dyno tune is a total waste of money. On a simple Stage one motorcycle, I doubt if you could even tell the difference between a dyno tuned bike and a bike with a fuel processor. Save the $$$$$.

DynoJet Power Vision, run a few auto tune sessions and you'll be happy..

Slap a tuner on and be done.

The first few words from my dealer was "well we have to pull the O2 sensors and to get mine out the header pipes come off, then come off again to install the sensors....." that's when I said never mind. I waited until I was out of HD warranty then put on the open intake and FP3 tuner.

The Lozano Brothers in New Braunfels would be my first stop for a tune in South Texas.

This should do it.

Thanks everyone for the input, I bought a power vision tuner it should be at the house when i get off work today. I will go that route. I just cant see forking out 700 bucks to let Harley do it using the same tuner. At this time I am only stage 1 so don't really need the dyno just yet.

okay, threw the power vision on last night, flashed a pre loaded tune bike is running much better, have it on auto tune mode now. The only issue I am having now is that the Bike is barely making 80mph, prior to adding the pipes I had 0 problem getting to 90-100, now 1st through 4th perfect 5th to 70 is okay after its slow rise and no point in 6ht gear right now as i cant hold 80 in 6th! any ideas?
