Default timing light?

hey guys im putting a new ignition module in my 02 883C and i asked the guy at harley how hard it is to put in and he said it was a piece of cake, but i was reading the directions and it seems easy, except for the timing light part, because i dont have a timing light, would i beable to get away with this without a timing light? or maybe get it running and take it to harley so they could time it?
thanks

you can get a cheap timing light at HF or rent one from a auto parts store.
