Maybe. I just posted a new thread with the idea that you keep your stock parts and then just reinstall them is something goes bad (obviously won’t work if you decat the header....)

I have a 2017 SGS and enjoy my ride being stock other than a set of S&S MK45s slip ons. I did not do a hi flow ac kit or download because the dealer did not see a reason to due to the self adjusting ECM. I like spending my money on cosmetic enhancements and not on trying to make my bike go faster. If I want fast, I would have kept my V-Rod.
Just my 2 cents....

Any loss in low-end torque with the S&S slip ons and no tune compared to stock?

The dealerships can choose to sell any tuning product, but the only one that HD corp will cover warranty with is the SE Street Tuner. The MOCO will not cover any non HD aftermarket parts, and may void coverage if used.

It's more strict than that. The long and short of it is: if you use that FP3 to tune an M8 bike, the warranty is immediately voided, period, end of story, no two ways about it. That's what the EPA requires Harley to do. If a dealership is selling FP3's and not telling people that, then they're just plain irresponsible.
