Here's a suggestion that might be the most cost effective since you already started the process with getting the $200 Lic only with Tune.

-Buy the PV (which includes a New Lic)
-Install the Second ECM and Flash it with the Dynoed Tune
-Leave the Second ECM installed as your primary
-Your Original ECM with Original Dynoed Tune becomes your spare

$400 (New PV) = 2 ECMs with identical Tunes

I don't think I would marry the PV to the ECM until I had to. If the original ECM crashed while you were close to home DJ will give you a new license free.

When you go to pick up your bike have the tuner email you a copy of the Text file he got when he purchased your license. With this .txt file you can use any PV to tune your bike. If you moved to Oregon and swapped cams a tuner there could load the text file into his PV and tune the bike. If you buy a PV you can load the text file and tune your bike.

I don't see too many ECMs crashing, mine was replaced by a dealer in Wyoming and it wasn't the problem. FM's $400 deal right now is a good price. I was lucky and found a couple used I picked up for $100 each.

What year bike are you tuning?

The bike I'm tuning is a 2011 Road King with a fresh 107 build, S&S crank, CP 10.25-1 pistons, S&S TC3 pump, 583G gear drive ez start cams, S&S adjustables, premium lifters and head work. All done by Kirby at Vee Twin.

I'm gonna get the PV from Fuel Moto.
