RE: No SERT for 99' Ultra?
Wally, the way it was explained to me by the HD guy today, was that the upload HD did to my bike when i did the stage I was crap, and that the race tuner was 10 times better. My problem, as I have told you, is that I just don't trust the brainwashed HD rep's. Maybe he is telling me the truth, but I have to ride one before i can say.

Joe,
I wouldn't tell ya wrong man (I'm not a dealer remember (MC not Dope)). The race tuner is the way to go. You can do all kinda things with it and it will keep up with your upgrades. Everytime you upgrade (pipes or motor work) they will just retune your bike using the same Race Tuner. Your initial download will be on their computer (and yours if you are smart) and they will just tweak it or change it, whatever it needs. The amount of time needed depends on how good your dealer is. We've all determined that the download is crap. I think sometimes the dealers just sell it to you because it is easier to sell than the SERT because of the price. Here is what my mechanic told me last week. The downloads worked pretty well until 05 when they started noticing problems with popping and lurching on SOME bikes. In 06 they just don't work at all.

That's a good question Terry, I never asked because we were talking about a bunch of upgrades. I will call in the morning to find out.
I am still leaning to buying the tuner, and going to a local wrench for this winters motor upgrades. HD is just too expensive, and I just don't trust them. Today I went in for a big bore, cam, heads etc quote, and when i asked him for a cam gear change from chains, he said "I don't recommend that" Right away, I thought, are all HD employees banned from talking about an S&S product. This came out the mouth of a guy who I respected.
