Hey guys, thanks for all the responses. I hope the info helps you out and I enjoy posting about it all. I'm no expert at all, so consider me the average guy learning about the sert. The main thing is to educate yourself. The sert manual is very good, these forums are a great source of info, and the web is invaluable. Read, read, read, then read some more. EFI systems really aren't that complicated and once you grasp the subject, tuning them becomes fun. What other system allows you to tune your bike and never get your hands greasy?
I haven't had the bike dyno'ed yet, but I probably will this summer. Stucarius - I'm not in favor of dropping the O2 sensors. I think they are a great tool for the ECM to constantly monitor the running condition of your bike. Even if they are narrow band, that range will compensate for things like fuel quality, air temp and density. As time passes, more and more pipes will be made with the bungs, and it's not too expensive to have bungs added to custom pipes.
I haven't done any more tuning or riding since I started this thread. I had the flu last week and now it's raining here. My SERT came with the "F" software and Billy was kind enough to email me a map off the "G" CD-ROM. Another forum member is going to send me a copy of the entire "G" CD. I'm going to take a look at the maps for '06 Dynas and see if HD made any changes on the newer CD.
Some of the things I plan to do next are to take a look at the VE tables. Also, the SERT manual mentions Spark Knock Retard several times. The data runs that I did show that my bike isn't retarding the spark at any rpm range. I'm going to try advancing the timing a little bit and then take another data run and see what it looks like. Changes have to be made in small increments and it all takes time.
As soon as the weather permits, I'll mess with it some more and post an update.

Sounds like your on a winner there. I'm dialing in from Australia and keen to get hold of SERT. Any info you can supply would be appreciated. I was of the oppion that power commander can do the same thing running the MAPS PCIII. Any thoughts.
I've never used a PCIII so I am not sure of what they are capable of doing. I know the data mode of the sert is invaluable for home tuning. Without it, I wouldn't have any idea of what's going on inside my engine. Not sure if the PCIII has anything like a data mode recorder. I think if you're just interested in quickly downloading a map, then sticking it on the bike, the PCIII is probably pretty nice. I've heard that they have a ton of maps you can download for free.
