Default missing tuner

bought a 2015 883 super low that previous owner converted to 1200. He also used the screaming eagle tuner for his exhaust and mufflers. he did not turn the tuner in when he traded the bike and now can not be contacted. The tuner is married to the ecm. What are my options when I want to change things and need to recalibrate/
Thanks

As BrandonSmith points out you can buy another tuner as the SE Tuner locks to the VIN but does not lock the ECM. If you had a TTS Master Tune that would be a locked ECM and another bag of worms.

Just went through this a few weeks ago. I bought a previously owned “HD certified” 2017 xl883n with a stage one setup. It ran so good, I knew it had to have a tuner on it. The shop ran the bike and found it had a HD Street Tuner on it. They called the previous owner and he didn’t have it. The HD shop said my choices were to leave the bike as is (not gonna happen) or buy a new tuner if I added any mods like a cam, etc...
