My experience has shown that the many low to medium end scan tools and programs are a waste of money in the HD world. If you are serious about a scan tool and want it to really work for you the Techno Research Centurion Super Pro is the only one that is worth your money. It retails for $2000, but is the only scan tool on the market that is close to the HD Digital Tech. If you are not ready or willing to drop that kind of money on a scan tool a stack of Electrical Diagnostic Manuals from harley will be all you need to get started. From 2000-Present you can read diagnostic codes directly off the bike and the EDM will help you figure out which direction to go on tests. I would avoid any other options in my opinion. Just getting started out your money will be better spent on manuals and specialty tools to do the day to day work.

Ok yeha after posting this I looked at the Centurion Super Pro but could you give me examples of what can and cant be done with the Centurion compared with the HD Dealer Tool? Besides telling me whats wrong can it reprogram all of the stuff that you NEED to go to the dealer to fix/solve on a newer Harley?
