Still a Horley guy tho.....
Any of you guys in NY ever have any work done by Dan?
He is coming highly recommended for his Dyno knowledge.
I am dropping my bike off to him this weekend to have him see what he can do to get the most out of it.

Don't know exactly where you are relative to me, but the Dynojet guy I am using right now is Ray Hulton,,,,,a young tech, but smart and willing to learn NEW things. My Rocket was the first on his dyne and he admitted that its totally different than tuning a AIR COOLED V-TWIN. I know my bike was lean and sure enough it was especially past the 40% tps mark. He knew this and (as I was standing beside him) warned me that he really didn't want to do a third baseline run. I told him to go ahead. I am the chief wrench on mine so at that point the risk was in my pocket. At some points my bike was running as lean as 17.5:1. Ray said afterward that he had seen several Harleys that approached that mixture and had simply fallen on their face....not even driveable. He was VERY impressed by the driveability of the stock triumph tune and the fact that, with the mods I had already done,,,,and the lean condition I induced, that it ran as strong as it did. With no change to the stock tune it produced over 140 '/lb of torque at under 2500rpm,,,,,he was amazed.
I don't know your tuner, but if he even tries to relate the tuning effects of a Harley or other air cooled v-twin to the tuning capability of the rocket,,,he is going in the wrong direction. I am using the dyno for the ability to tune the ignition map without having to quess at it. I don't mind putzing with fuel maps but the ignition map is a very touchy thing and can damage an engine within seconds if improperly done. So,,,,,all that being said,,,if your tuner (who sounds like he is harley oriented also) is smart and willing to learn,,,,then he will probably be using your ride as his experiment and hopefully do a fine job for you.
