I actually did this a couple weeks ago. I installed the Vance and Hines FP3 tuner to my 2008 Heritage Classic. I felt it was not running to its potential and the spark plugs suggested the bike was running about as lean as possible. It took all of 20 minutes to pull my seat, find the plug, download updates, upload my stock tune and download the recommended tune. My bike has V&H longs and an S&S teardrop air cleaner. I am completely satisfied with the recommended tune so I doubt I will even run an autotune session. But, it is nice to know I can. The bike pulls much more freely at both lower and upper rpms. 6th gear has much more value now at 60 or 65mph. Anyhow, right away I was notified of two error codes stating that the front and rear cylinders were lean. I cleared the codes with the tuner and they have not returned. I am super impressed with how easy this was to install as well as all the other useful features. I used my IPAD. Lastly, I can also report that the bike runs 10-15 degrees cooler. I will report later on fuel mileage after I return to my normal riding style. 👍

Mounted garage door opener inside the right side of my headlight nacelle.
Since I last posted in this thread, installed mustache bars and an Explorer seat, removed the passenger pegs, and added some 3m reflective blue tape in strategic spots. The tape shines bright white when lit.
I installed the mid frame heat deflector on our 2014 Deluxe. Hopefully that will keep some of the heat off of hell legs, but I still have my doubts.
Rather than reflect the heat back onto the engine, which just makes it run hotter, better to actually reduce the engine temp. That way it will be more comfortable for you and also will produce more power and will last longer.

I know, I want to put a FP3 or some other fuel management on it, but this is the wife’s bike that she bought back in March and she is afraid that if I put a tuner on it, it will void her extended warranty. I’m probably going to put a Harley tuner on it but would rather put a PCV or FP3 on it.

There are quite a few things you can do that are less expensive and won't chance voiding the warranty than a tuner...that will cool the engine down More than a tuner.
