I don't think you'll find it in your SERT files, because there isn't a map for that setup with the SERT. If you have a SERT you may be able to upgrade to TTSs Mastune program. TTS is the manufacturer of the SERT for HD. The Mastertune has many more maps to choose from according to what I've been reading. Check out their site, I'm thinking about upgrading my SERT to the TTS Mastertune.

So if I want a tune to go with my Rineharts and a Screaming Eagle AC, I'll need to send in my SERT? How does that work?
If you are looking for a canned map for the setup you have chances are you won't find it in the SERTs cals as I believe for the XLs there are only three maps that come with it. All for SE mods, 883 stage 1 and 1200 stage 1 & 2.
I'm going to get my SERT upgraded so I can store my original map as it has been adjusted to cure the cold start stumble and I kind of want to hang onto that. SERT won't allow you to download a map from the bike. I see that TTS has some canned maps that you can access on their site but only about five of them for the XL. I don't know if the software you get from them will include some canned maps or not. I would give them a call and see if they have a map for your setup. Then if you want to upgrade your SERT to the TTS you have to run a test on it with a file you download from TTS.
I'm assuming that you guys already have the stage 1 map downloaded to your ECM. Essentially you have the stage 1 mod. If that is the case your calibration should be fairly close and should just need a little tweeking for max performance. If you don't want to do any tweeking then you should take it somewhere and get it tuned on a dyno. There are no canned maps that will be perfect, if you really want performance the map will have to be tweeked on a dyno.

what do you mean with leghty process? sorry i'm italianand i don't understand...
I mean if you do it yourself you need to read and reread and fully understand the owners manual and the tuner program and data recording program for the SERT. I'm assuming you have a SERT and the tuner manual that comes with it explains how to determine if you actually need to tune for various reasons. It also has a lot of info in the help menus of the tuner and data recorder.
I don't think anyone here will want to try and tell you how to do it as each bike is different and has it's own little quirks. If you're not up for a whole bunch of data recording with a laptop on your back and then analyzing the data and determine what changes to make to your map, then just take it to a professional tuner and have it done. Otherwise it is a process of trial and error, it definitely can be done but it can be a lengthy process.
