Default Tuner advice

Hello all, I recently bought a 18 fat bob with a SE stage 3 kit installed on it. When I bought the bike, it had slip ons on it but not a full exhaust. I recently installed a complete exhaust (no cats) and I'm sure it'll need to be retuned. Here's the thing, the original owner did not give the dealer he sold the bike to, the tuner. So I'm not even sure if the bike still has a tune on it, or if he Uninstalled the tune to be able to sell it. Question is, what tuner would be ideal for this setup? Going with another SEST? Or something with more adjustability? Would anything with an auto tune work for my current setup? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Not sure about the harley tuner marrying to the bike or not. But the concensus here will be the power vision...from fuelmotousa.com of course.

Harley tuners marry to the bike.
And your stuck with harley tunes, very lean.
If your not worried about warranty go with an after market tuner like power vision etc.

The SE parts will hold you back no madder what you use. The dynojet Power vision will do a better tune than the SE tuner.

The ThunderMax is also a good ECM replacement. Gives you wideband O2 sensors and don't have a piggyback system. https://store.thunder-max.com/
