Default Harley race tuner?

I've done quite a few mods on my fuel injected 06 fatboy. I know I'll need a fuel processor of some sort and a dyno. Harley shop I use suggested the Harley race tuner and let them dyno it. Anyone use theirs?

search SEPST. Long story short, I've been told by numerous people to use this tuner. I have a buddy that uses it for his n/a stroker and made great power. He also used it on a single turbo bike with good results.

There's a lot of choices and most seem to be happy with 'theirs'. Friends of mine have the Race Tuner and it seems fine. I went with PC-V for ease of installation and to keep the dealer/dyno out of it.

The reason I went with the Harley tuner is because I had it tuned at Harley....with a Harley product.....installed/tuned by a Harley tech.....so its kind of covering my *** thing. If anything goes wrong because of any of it....it was done at Harley.

Isn't the tune for "off-road" only? So are you really covered?

I suppose you might not get covered if you break something....but you have a waaaaaaaaay better chance of getting stuff fixed under warranty if it was all done at Harley....better then if an indy did the work.

Are there any independant tuners in your area, or is the dealership your only option? If you have multiple tuners, ask around to see who is comfortable with which device. Once you pick the guy you're going with, listen to their recommendation. If the dealer is your only choice, go with what they say. It does no good to buy a tuning device that no one in your area uses, knows how to use, or is comfortable with.

Dido,
I like the extra functions of the TTS Master Tuner however as beaureed445 says no good if the tuner is not familiar with it.

I went with the PCV and had the bike dyno tuned at a Dynojet Approved Power Commander Tuning Center. I did not go with the Harley race tuner because I did not want the Stealer to touch or screw up my bike and also pay their outrageous prices.
