Default 2021 Wideband calibration files

Its seems HD is locked down from distributing calibration files for 2021 Touring and Softail models using wideband maps due to EPA approval. The 2021 has new new ECM from 2020 models, so calibration files changed. The 2020 models have maps available.

This delays using Smart Tune Pro with wideband sensors in our bikes.

Has anybody heard any update on when these 2021 maps will be released? HD Technical support was contacted by my dealer and they have no information on release or even if a release is going to happen.

This sucks for 2021 owners.

Why do you think they made the change in the first place? To make it easy to go to a non EPA compliant tune? Because it's better than the Delphi? Nope and nope.
Pressure ftom the EPA to make it harder? Yep.
You should've saw this coming.
