CVO bike has bigger motor and probably different cams. Can't imagine the CVO bike can be tuned with out a "tuning" device since it is EFI. Hope this helps. Later, Calvin.

Don't "need" a PC or "dyno". The stock EFI runs between high-low parameters and, by adding mods, you can go outside of it's range. Then you end up either too rich or too lean (most likely) and/or idling/starting problems. The HD upgrades available are generic maps and will run better than just "throwing the parts on"; the PC or others is to tweak further in the AFR (air/fuel adjustment) volumetric efficiency (VE) table using the dyno to get the best results. Dyno not necessary with the HD upgrades as what you download is what you get. CVO download is for the CVO and the FB download is for the FB and is chosen based on what mods were added.

You need no tuner or dyno just a download for either stock 96 with stage one or CVO 110 model with stage one. Dyno tune on stage one is a waste of money.

As others have said, you don't need a dyno and tuner for intake and slip ons.. Dealer can install a canned map for this setup.. Mine did it for $125 when I had the heavy breather and V&H exhaust 1st installed.. Now I have to have a tuner with the 103 motor..
