That is what I was told by more than a few people that I have a ton of respect for. On my RK I just did the V&H pipes and left everything alone. On my '10 SG I have the SEAC and 2-1 V&H so I decided to get the PCV and am very pleased so far.

This is true, but it's still only going back to the lean 14.7 AFR.

Don't know why everyone argues, the guy that doesn't want a tuner will keep asking till he hears what he wants to hear. There are none so blind as those who refuse to see.

Jim...this thread is over 3 years old! But I agree with your statement.

The plugs look good on it and it's never pinged even once. So i've been wondering if this bike might actually be pretty much on target? All I read on here says they're "always too lean" yet I've had no symptoms of that - no fried thighs, etc. Could it be?

I'm confused because the write up of mods below your sigpic indicates lot's of mods and 88K miles by Dec 08? Must be another bike you are talking about there. Aye?
