Yes that would be stupid money, I agree but I responded with the FP3 / FP4 on the PV having that option, and it is not only reading but also clearing codes that the tuners can do.
I think you are pointing at the 6050 ? , for me it's always about not needing anyone and that I can do everything at home. I don't care what it costs, for the money these things all cost I
could probably go to a dealer the rest of my life but that's what it's all about for me, I want to be independent in every way.

As far as clearing codes, actually think you can clear through dash, or it will go away after reading. No sure, But even if it doesn't it will go away on it's own. I suppose you run risk another code coming up during that time and not knowing.
If you are already buying a tuner, you may want one that does this.

In my parlance and from places I have worked at a break out box has a male and female connector of the correct size for a connector on the bike. You pull the connector and put the break out box in the circuit. There is a pin for each wire that you can put a voltmeter on or inject a signal.
Some have leds that show if there is a signal or voltage on the wire.

HD has the Digital Technician that I think is what people are referring to as a scanner. It allows to get at the programmability of the BCM and to actuate the ABS system for a fluid flush as well as look at trouble codes stored and a whatever else is on the data link.
There is a couple of 3rd party devices I have seen or maybe just one described two different ways that do the same thing and there is one device a guy made just to do an ABS fluid flush.
I think you also need the break out box(es).
