Hi, Names is Bob....

Retired Marine Gunnery Sergeant... did 21 and got put out to pasture.... PHD Master Technician, Buell Factory Tech, Dynojet/PC Tuner, SERT trained, Lehman Trike builder/Conversion Tech...

Perfectionist at heart, hate seeing a bike come back before it's next service.... Think that the SERT is the most underrated, least appreciated tool for ANY HD owner, believe that performance, rideability, driveability and longevity must be equated into a performance build, and not big HP/Tq #'s...

One of the forum members here graciously allows me to wrench, tune and advise on the next steps for his CVO....

I am also a Tech Mod at the HDForums.com site

Welcome aboard Bob. You're a very welcome addition here and you echo what I hear from quite a few tuners (non-dealership and MOCO)
