My thought is for a stage 1, paying for a dyno is a waste of money. Save the money and by a EFI tuner that can be adjusted in real time on the bike.

Sounds about right on the dyno, but I think mine was 300 at AV Harley but that was a year ago so don't quote me, skip the stage one get a fuel pak fp3 and tune it yourself....

My tuner charges $300 for a custom tune if you already have the tuner (Direct Link, TTS, Power Vision or S.E. Race Tuner), $350 for a break-in and tune on fresh rebuilds. I have never heard of a 'one cylinder tune', and have not found or heard of a HD dealer that I would trust or let tune my bike!

That is nuts! What incidentals are you talking about? Are you happy with the tune?
