what tuner? 08 E Glide
picked up a 08 Electra Glide all stock im going to do a air cleaner and exhaust maybe even cams down the road (maybe) looking for a tuner but so many out really hard to figure it out
im not a stranger to tuning i have HPtuners for my lsx stuff that i use on still learning it not a pro noob at best and my last harley had true duals and air cleaner used cobra unit (was on it when purchased it) with the 3 pods i along with a wideband and street tuned it bike ran pretty good afterwards
so whats a decent tuner that can grow as my bike grows? i seen some that connect to smartphones others to laptops i like the phone idea but would not be against the laptop either
im not racing the bike so its not like im looking for every last HP/TQ number out of it just keep things safe and not have to upgrade or change tuners if i do cam or even heads later with out spending big bucks (if possible?)
i guess this is aimed at folks that have played around with a few tuners and can tell me pros and cons of what they have used or must have features i should be looking for in a tuner
thanks

I suggest the TTS. Best tuner on the market. The vision is a copy that sacrificed feature for a screen. Just hasn't caught up. Features could be ranging from a tool to help the user to figure tooth count to an instruction manual.

A actually useful manual to get started with.
No extra add-ons or do-dads marketed as a cure-alls for anyone owning a bike.
Just whats necessary to assure a great running bike...either from street or dyno tuning.
There, thats my $.02 from using them all daily.

Do a little self education about these tuning products and their features and specs from their user manuals and help files.
You will get as many opinions as there are folks who purchased a tuning devices.
There are numerous threads on the subject of choosing the right tuner.

You will find the same here. Since one owns it. It has to be the best, right? Best, is best people
k
now. The conversation here of HPTuner vs EFI live is replaced by different manufacturers, but VE Delphi mapping is the same. Collecting data with wide band or narrow band and creating new VE's is an option with all of them. How they go about it is where the rubber hits the road.
I also dynotune for a living and am familiar with just about every product on the market for HD's. I run TTS on all my bikes. Between the user manual and the owner of TTS being an active member of this forum you shouldn't have any trouble.
