Welcome from North Beach, FL., USA! 
Just in case you have not done this.
Add a Signature Line in your USER set up for your bike year, model, and all the letters that Harley recognizes it with so others see at the bottom of all your post. This enables others to know your exact model if you ever ask a question.
And a Avatar of your favorite shot in the USER set up for the small picture others will see in the top left corner of your post.
Your all set.... Enjoy the ride! ______________

Welcome from the Middle Of nowhere!
Either way, you still need a tuning device . Power Vision, TTS Mastertune, Direct Link, etc, are all just devices that allow for editing the tables in the ECM. They all offer base maps, so you can self tune in the closed loop areas. Dyno tuning is a convenient way to measure what is happening in all gears/ throttle positions, both closed and open loop, which is difficult to do on the street (and expensive if you get caught) . The chosen tuning device allows me to edit requested AFR, then I can measure what the AFR actually is on the dyno, then use the tuning device to calibrate the VE so AFR measured = AFR desired. I can also edit timing tables to see if there is better efficiency to be had.

Welcome from Spartan Country, Michigan!
I tell a lot of new comers to the forum to get: Factory Service manual and the Parts manual. Get a three ring binder and record all your maintenance, repairs, accessories, etc. This will be a great reminder of what was done when. And great material to pass along to the new owner should you sell and upgrade. Also know how large your fuel tank is, a rough idea of your range per tank, and record your fuel usage. I have an app called Simply Auto that I record all my fuel used. I use the odometer and use the fuel gage as reference only. I reset the odometer to zero on fill ups, and I know I can safely get 200 miles on a tank on around town riding, and upwards of 230+ on trips.
Good Luck!!

Ripsaw, my changes are in my profile. But i have no stats, which is obviously wrong as we're replying to a post of mine. I don't see where to add Signature line. I'll keep looking.
