Where in the Sandbox are you? Almost positive there is a shop in Dubai w/ a Dyno. Possibly Bahrain as well, Gudaibiya to be exact. The shop I'm thinking of is near JJ's Irish pub. Although its been a few years, so...

I'm in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Going to Bahrain or Emirates for a good tune wouldn't be a problem. I asked around and googled my azz off, but couldn't find anything. For cars yes, but not for motorcycles. Do you possibly remember the name of the shop in Manama?

Off topic but, hands down my favorite place in Bahrain
OP decides it's actually on topic ...and I have to agree. Last time I've been at JJ's is maybe three years ago. New jobs doesn't bring me to bahrain anymore. Otherwise I'd just search for a dyno tuner on site and combine it with a stop over at JJ's.
Now I don't wanna drive 300 miles through the desert just to find out there's no dyno tuner around...
Al, I've got friends still working over there, Emriates & Manama. I'll shoot some emails out, should get some info quick. I assume you already checked with HD dealer in Dubai?
And yes, JJ's is the best. For all the money I've spent there or at the Irish Village, could probably buy a complete 124" motor
Unless your going to build a "BIG" inch (120 or up) mill the 58 throttle body and larger injectors are a waste of cash. Go with a stage III and get some head work done from a reputable shop. 100H+ / 110 T+ is all you'll ever need unless you're going to visit the local drag strip, and if that's your desire, go for it. Just be advised that you'll be spending $$$$ replacing the drivetrain more often than you'd like. A Harley will never compete with a Hyabusa no matter what some say! LOL.

Awesome! Thanks for your help. Yes, I've checked with all the HD dealers (KSA, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Manama,...). In some cases I suspected that they know something but were reluctant to give me any information.
I have a 2012 fat bob stage IV and wouldn't talk you out of it. I did realize quickly why Harley wouldn't put this much power in the bike from the factory...it is scary at 130mph with stock Dyna suspension and fat bob ergonomics! It is great to pass on the highway without down shifting. Of you go really fast often, you'll want to upgrade more than just the motor...
