I've read it all, (well most of it anyway). Alot of good info, and a good knowledge base to pull from, but.... after all that reading, and the different changes, and opinions, and changing opinions, I might still need to ask a question or two from time to time. And I'll be happy to pitch in when I can.
So the ride, a second hand 2004 RK Custom with 95" big bore kit, SE HTCC Heads and pistons, SE breather, and V&H Propipe, with unknown cams. Dyno and remap from dealer. Mods done back in '07 at 9000 miles, I picked it up last summer with 12000 miles. I've put on another 3500.
Picked up the PV and AT pro from FM TOD (the other day). Glad I did, the dyno'ed map had large area at 14.6. Now without the feedback of the O2 sensors ala 07, this is not where I want the bike to be. Heck I wouldn't want it there even with the feedback, but at least would have some certainty (with in the bounds of sensor accuracy and such, yes Jim) that it wasn't even leaner. Anyway, on travel for a few weeks, when I get back, get the bungs installed, exhaust back together, PV installed and on to logging and tuning.
When I run into a problem that I can't remember the answer to, or where in this haystack the needle lies, I'll ask.

There is. All the information you need to navigate your way through a tune is right here. The rest has to be learned through experience. There's just too many things that can happen to put in a manual. That's why the smart thing for a newbie to do is run 4 or 5 auto tunes and if it's running nice, leave it alone. The only time someone would need to get into WinPV is to tweak certain areas if something weird is happening.
The manual is here. Anything beyond that can only come from experience. if someone is open minded and willing to do their due diligence there's alot of cool things to learn.

keep reading, There is a workaround posted in here. You have to open the .pvv file in notebook and delete "MAP based/" from the VE lines front and rear in the file. Then run LT as usual, Then put "MAP based/" back in theVE lines. I did it a couple times an I ain't very smart.

Be sure to leave front and rear in place.

That could be good,no knock,are you seeing the cells with your hit counts? Did you enable spark knock front and rear on the PV gauges? Did you check the spark advance boxes when saving selected values?

I'm not seeing hit counts. Can I use the log created during an AT session or do I need to log during a normal ride, ie AT disabled???
I did check the spark advance boxes along with VE f/r and AFR.
Thanks Bro.
