Doc's Performance Tuning
Its always a pleasure to do business with someone who tells you what they are going to do, then does it. The results are what he said they would be.
Having dealt with some other tuners that left me with more questions than answers, and results no better than I could have gotten using the auto-tune feature myself, I went to Doc, after the recommendation of this forum. I didn't have some complicated assortment of parts that required a master tuner to extract every last foot pound of torque, just a bike that I wanted to run better.
When Doc started the down load of TTS Master Tune to the Bike a problem occurred because the previous owner had a Map down loaded that wasn't even for that year bike and Master Tune would not over write it. A couple phone call and a couple of emails and the problem was solved. He didn't have to take care of it that way....that's just Doc. He could have made me make a trip to the Harley Dealer and spent $150.00 dollars to get it fixed. But he didn't. Next the 02 sensors were not functioning correctly. Let the bike cool down and Ill change them when we get back from lunch. He took my Wife and I to lunch which was totally unexpected.
Watching him work was interesting since their is a window in the Dyno Cell you can watch everything he does, and hear the motor smooth out as he moves from cell to cell and screen to screen on the computer.
I wont get into dyno numbers because, I didn't go their chasing any. I just wanted some tuning problems fixed. Doc delivered everything he promised and more, he went above and beyond what I expected. The bike ran better than it ever has.
From his immaculate clean shop, to his friendly little dog Rocky Ray, it was an enjoyable experience. I was impressed with his knowledge as a tuner, but I was even more impressed with Doc as a person. Thanks Doc.

Also, the Florida Crew has a annual rendezvous the second week of November in Ocala every year. 3-4 days of riding, shenanigans and good fellowship. Keep that in mind as well.
