Default Learning to tune HD EFI

Since we continue to get asked all the time I thought we would inquire to see if anyone would really want to attend a class on tuning the HD/Delphi EFI bike. This is not a request stating we are going to do it but rather looking to see if people really wanted to do it and would be willing to spend a day or two to learn. If I were to guess this would run somewhere in the $200 dollar range per person. There would be a limit as to how many people were allowed at any one training class so everyone could ask questions and get to really try things on a bike. If there is enough interest in this we could see about setting something up.

Yes, assuming this might be geared more towards the DIY tuner.

Need more info. As the questions stated above. Where? Is this geared toward the novice tuner? Is this out in the open Walmart parkin' lot? What time of year?

I know this thread is just getting started so I'll watch the replies.

200 bucks sounds cheap enough and sounds like a good thing to do, it would be real nice to have a better understanding of it, depending on the location and when it was, I would like to attend, reality is with my schedule, it would probably be impossible, I would be interested in a DVD that walks you through the process of tuning your own bike using a Mastertune and maybe a little theory of why you do something a certain way, you could call it "tune like a pro" or something, LOL, just a thought of something you could make available to everyone. I don't have a Mastertune, but after researching whats available, I'm sure one is in my future. If your product is half as good as your willingness to help others use it, it must be simply outstanding.
