I am looking for opinions on tuners in the Chicago/NWI area. I am about to drop a good amount of coin into my bike and I am looking for the best guy to tune it when all is said and done.

I know there will be varying opinions on this subject, and in the end it will be my decision.

Make an appt with Fuelmoto(a sponsor here) they are about 180 miles north of Chicago. They are priced right, know what they are doing. None better. the 3 hr ride would be well spent.

I will take my bike to the best guy within a 3 hour radius. I have found 2 local guys I will be in contact with along with Fuel Moto and make my decision.

Thanks!!

I dont know how far Quincy IL is from you, but I would defenitly reccomend TNT Harley. There top notch, and have one hell of a dyno, and it is actually a dyno room.
