I'd guess most. I did. It's nice to see the performance gains on paper. Plus, the dyno can be used to tweak the tune and get all the available power out of the mods.

Cheers!

Depends on your fuel management system.
I have a DTT/WEGO IID on my 07 FLHX. The Auto-Tune works great without a dyno IMO.
I have a SERT on my 08 FLHTCU and run a map from the SERT files. The bike runs good with the base map and I will tweak it with the Data mode recorder to make small improvements as needed. I like the DIY when it comes to my vehicles. I would rather do it myself even if it meant learning new things...
Plus the DTT/WEGO IID will tune better over the long run than a short dyno run. JMO
I would spend the extra dyno money on a good fuel management system with auto-tune so when I make other mods it will auto-tune to that mod. That way I am money ahead. No need to have the dynotune again.

i think it's just how good do you want your bike to run.yes you get the most out of it . that way but you also get your fuel mixed dialed in.i did and i would do it again in a heart beat.

Here in PHX at the stealers it's about $400. and you leave the bike all day, at Ram Jet it's $65 an hour with 1 1/2 as normal time. Shop it but do it.
