Central IL Dyno??
Bought my 07 Heritage in March and it already had V&H Big Shots Long on it and doesn't appear to have had anything else done to it. I am not one to burn up the road but it just seems like it could have a little more giddy up. Want to install a Stage 1 AC and get it tuned, figured would be where to start first. Does anyone know of a good Dyno guy in Central IL? I am willing to travel a few hours but do in case ever need any changes do not want to go too far. Have heard of a few guys South of Chicago that are pretty good but that would be almost a 4 hr haul.

Dustin Smith at Legacy HD in Effingham, IL.
Best tuner in the area IMO & he's done all the work and tuning on my bike. I highly recommend him, and the dealer for that matter. Had nothing but good experiences with everyone there.
Thinking this should be about 1 1/2 hours from you. Mapquest shows 1 hour 24 minutes.

Thanks I appreciate the info I have been thru Effingham many times, Have never stopped at Legacy yet just haven't made the time I guess. I can be there in 1 hr 15 mins if everything goes smooth.

I originally had mine tuned on a dyno at a dealership in Rock Falls. Ended up having problems with the bike a couple months later. Come to find out the tune was way off and they way it was set up didn't make any sense. I ended up getting my bike retuned at Blue Collar Bikes in Spring Valley, they don't have a dyno, but I was very surprised at how the tune turned out.
So I guess I'm saying the seat of the pants tune on the roads where it's going to be ridden worked out a lot better for me than a climate controlled, perfect conditions dyno room.
