I’m several weeks away from installing Lush cams and pistons and need to settle on a tuner.
@Dr.D has recommended a good tuner a couple of hours away from me, but it sounds like a long interstate ride would not be the best break-in plan and getting a trailer and hitch is going to be a real hassle (but ultimately doable, if need be).
I just learned that there is actually a local shop that has a dyno. They work mostly on Harleys (does it matter- procedure all the same?) and I have no idea of their level of expertise.
What do I need to know about their equipment and experience in order to make an intelligent decision as to whether or not to go with them? If this works out, a 10 minute ride to their dyno machine would sure make this part a heck of a lot easier.
Side note: I'm waiting on install parts from Triumph ordered through Hermys. I do like those guys, but of course a lot of what I need they did not have in stock, so wait, wait, wait.... I broke a clutch cable last week and they didn’t have that either (really?), so I cancelled my order with them (it became a special order from England) and got a stock one in two days from Barnett Racing.
It seems like the business model for Triumph shops (maybe all motorcycle brands) is that we are all recreational riders and waiting on parts is just a minor inconvenience to our weekend “hobby.” It’s more than that for those of us who use their bike, year round, to get to work and back.
Well, it’s my post and I’m already off topic- sorry.
Dyno- what do I need to know? Thanks!
beside you'd be in .BULLSTER BACKYARD SO TO SPEAK.....
