Default Looking for "Reputable Tuner" in Arkansas??

Does anyone know of a good tuner that will actually take the time to tune your bike right? I have been twice to a dealer here in Central Arkansas, and have only gotten the 1 hour 30 minute service.

I have actually purchased the training DVD, Software CD, and cables to tune it myself using the SEST, but wanted to know of a good person who actually enjoys, and does things right in my state.

Thank you.

I have contacted Ed in Dallas @ -http://www.thedynodifference.com-. I might end up going there if no one can recommend a closer tuner. I know the dealers are messin' with me. Or can you tune a bike in an hour. LOL!

Here are my issues. I get around 46/47 mpg highway, but my Thunderheader pops really bad on deceleration. Is that normal?

About 2 hours further than you if you are in Memphis. I grew up in Memphis, TN. I come back there about every other weekend, and sometimes hit up SideCar on Wed. nights.

well then this would be closer than Dallas. He has built me two motors this year and does a great job. He built a 113 in my fatbob and a 110 in a springer. You should call him and talk to him. He is 3.5 hrs for me. I plan on going to pick up my springer this weekend. wahoo!!!!!

Bout the same. I can run down I-30 for 5 hours and 30 min, and be in Dallas, or run I-40 to 78 then to Alabama. Is 78 four lane now? Last time I went down 78 a lot of it was two lane.

Ed does a great job. Others have come from a lot further to use him. Ed tuned out all my decel on my V&H BSS.

Thanks, John. That was the first place I called. I was told they did not know how to tune the HD Super Tuner.
I told him I have the software, if he wanted to learn, we both could learn at the same time. I haven't heard back from him.
