Dealer should have them...
Was the Race tuner from a sealed package, cause they are a one time install on one bike only.

If I am not mistaken, when the race tuner is used on a bike, it marries to that bike's ECM/Serial Number and cannot be used on another bike. So be cautious about what you might be buying on Ebay because you could be disappointed. I find it suspicious that at least the cable is not included. If I bought one though a medium such as Ebay, it would have to be in an unopened, shrink-wrapped box. And then you don't really know until you hook it up and try it for the first time. Good luck.

The race tuner marries to 1 bike forever, I have one. Bought from dealer, and you have to buy the CD separate and the cables separate. Works great with the self learn feature.

I have bought six race tuners on ebay, all without cables or CD and all well below retail. Up until a year ago, dealers were selling them on ebay, $150 below retail.

If it says new/unopened box, you should be good to go.
