Default Any hope in CA?

I'm unlucky enough to reside in CA, and I can't get a tuner that's worth a crap. They're all severely limited as what you can do. I have the SE "Street Tuner", I downloaded the one lousy map provide into my '17 Roadster (with high flow air filter and SE mufflers) and it's running lean as hell. Spark plugs are WHITE.
Is there ANY way of getting a good tuner in CA?

I have an Ex in AZ....
But I have a feeling I may be proper f*cked. The VIN# has a digit that designates it as a CA bike, and since all tuners (that I know of) "marry" themselves to the bike by the VIN#, a non-CA tuner will probably puke on me and not work. But that's just an assumption. Has anybody out there tried using a non-CA tuner on a CA bike?

You might check with Dobeck. I run one of their AFR+ units and there is no download.

It comes with an adjustable gauge and you set you own parameters. I really like it.

I have it on my Indian but assume they make them for Harley as well.

Recently at two two different events, FXR's of California (Sacramento Raceway) and last Saturday at the Dixon Bike show event, both had a mobile Dynojet with two guys running it. They also sold Power vision and Fuelpack tuners. Full tune with Dyno (excluding the efi tuner) $300.00 you also got an email with your dyno sheet sent when done.

Find an event in your area, take your tuner and bike. I believe the easyrider bike show has the dynojet mobile guys. You can also find them here: http://www.dynojet.com/dynocenters/d...o-centers.aspx
