I'm gonna try and download the file on to my in law's windows pc and see what if I can play with it for a bit. Doing it this way is gonna be a pain in the *** though.
I might just take it to the dealer like oldenuf suggested.
Ed, thank you for be offer man.

Hi Alain,
I do not profess to know anything about that tuner, but if you are able to get the software on your computer I am sure someone here will have a base tune for you if you need it and the tuner allows for it? I know people around often post and receive maps when asked based upon the same hardware.
Good luck, I'm sure it will work out. And like you said, the fact that you seem to have the SE hardware (albeit with stock cover), would at least insinuate that the equipment was installed and then flashed if the previous owner ever rode the bike after install.

Well, just tried to download the file from the HD website on to my wife's laptop (only computer we have in the house). Her laptop's operating system is Google so it's not compatible with the file from HD's website.
Now I have to figure out if buying the software from an HD dealership is an option that will work with her laptop.

Ok, so my only option here is to take the bike to the dealer along with the tuner. I just realized that I won't be able to use my in law's computer because it's a desktop computer and I would have to park the bike in their living room hahahahha.
Looks like I'm stuck going to the stealer for this one. Not thrilled about that at all.

Yea, I could do that too. We have a chrome book, an iPad and two smart phones. We would never use that cheap laptop again afterwards lol.
Thanks for all the help guys. I think I'm gonna leave this one up to the stealership

I ran into the same issue having nothing but Apple computers in the house. I found a Windows 8 tablet on sale for $100. The software runs fine on it although the print is pretty tiny. I am able to strap it to my fairing and use the Smart Tune Live feature to tune it while I ride. Once I'm done I'll probably throw it in a box with the SEPST and shelve it, Windows 8 makes a terrible tablet.
