Default Dyno Tuning

I have a 2011 SGC and have a SE A/C with cycleshack slipons,I already had my bike tuned with the SEPRT,twice I should say,and I was wondering how much more a dyno tune would do for my bike,is it worth the extra coin to drop on a dyno tune?

What did you change after your last dyno? If nothing, is the bike not running right?

You aren't going to gain much. Not with just slip ons and a/c.
You will gain a few hp with a dynotune,depends on whether you feel a few hp is worth the cost.

Yes you will need the motor re tuned.
