I don't kmow about the dyno tune with it. I used the V-tune program that came with it and it worked great.

+1 on TTS Mastertune. I did not have the best of luck that the other posters had with using VTune, but I believe it was due to me (not the product). I ended up taking it to a dyno tuner (JD's Cycle Works in Bethlehem PA) and could not be happier. Bike starts right up, runs strong, and has virtually no decel popping. Overall, I would recommend this product.

TTS is a great system. the only reason I am not running it is that for my 2002 they do not have the v-tune. And yes, I can get it for you.

Here is before and after dyno tune. I did not want the bike to be tuned as a dyno queen (Max HP) but wanted the best low/mid range performance.

I never shifted into 6th gear below 60mph. After dyno tune the bike slides into 6th at 50mph and pulls better in 6th than it did before in 5th.

If you can wait , I would contact "Dr V-Twin" he might be able to get you a better price!

Also, don't forget to buy the cables!!! Your regular cheap cables will give you lots of problems. Better to buy the ones from TTS.
