According to their website http://mastertune.net/ it is windows based.

So Jay, you didn't use the V-tune. I don't think your using the full potential of the system. the map you got from Steve is no more than a stock base map. since you don't live in AZ thats one difference already.
If you do the V-tune, it is set up for your bike and how you ride it.

Just run your Mac in Windows using Boot camp, works like a charm! You will need a USB ----> Serial adapter.

This has all so far over my head I can't see high enough to spot the bottom. 

Here's my question - If I change the headers to true duals will I be able to eliminate the CC?  If I remove the CC with it void my warranty? I'd like to keep the stock mufflers, just like the looks of the diameter with the stretched bags, change the baffles to fullsac 2" , and do the stage 1 - with that will I notice much improvement? 

Or, what can I do to increase both hp and torque and not void my warranty?  With all that's been said about problems with the 110 I don't want to cause myself an unnecessary problem down the road.

You would probably be better off getting rid of the cats from your stock exhaust, getting stock exhaust off a 96" motor, or going with the V&H Power Duals, rather than going with true duals.  True duals are not a performance pipe.    The Fullsac 2" and the stage 1 will be good.  I'm no warranty expert, but you are doing the same thing that everybody has been doing for years...changing the exhaust for better performance and sound.  To answer the other question you asked; yes, true duals would eliminate the cc, but probably not the best performancd when you are done.

I'm not sure what you are reading, but I don't know what problems you are talking about either.  There were problems with the 07 and 08, but none for 09.  I can't think of anything that's indicated any type of major problem arising on the 09 engines.

Jim:
Thanks for the detailed instructions and photographs about removing a CC.  I asked my dealer today about a CC on a SERG and was told that they were only in CA bikes but they will be in all '10 models.  When I told him about your bike he said you either live in CA or somehow bought a CA bike.  I ordered the core bit and have a friend who is going to help me.  I'm also going to add the fullsac 1 3/4 in baffles.  Thanks again for the all the great info.  By the way, I love the color of your bike.

You might want to give Steve @ Fullsac a call BEFORE you tear into your exhaust system: 928-505-2912
He will have some recommendations that may work for you, and save some $$$$ in the process!

Thanks for the advice, I'll give him a call Monday.  Spring weather is just around the corner and I'm ready to hit the road and want to get all I can out of my bike without spending a lot of money on mods; this sure looks like a good place to start.

James,
A core bit won't remove all the catalytic converter, just half of it. There's a thread somewhere on the forum where Steve at Fullsac explains this, posted pics and offers help. If you don't have the tools, I'd recommend removing your header pipes and sending them to Steve. He'll cut them in half, clean out both sides and weld them back up for you. I just did a set yesterday that was core drilled and here's a picture of it right after I cut the header.

Thanks for the photo and information.  I'm definately going to call Steve tomorrow.  My only problem is that I hate to have my exhaust off for the long but in the long run I know it will be worth it.

James, why don't you just purchase a non-cat head pipe from HD and swap out the cat header. Much easier than what you propose to do and that way, you have the cat equipped head pipe should you ever have to bring the bike in for emission testing?
