Default Anyone get a dyno from Rodney's in Little Rock?

I have planned on getting GMR to do a dyno for me, but Dallas is like 6 hours away.

A couple of weeks ago the wife and I rode to Little Rock to check out Rodney's Cycle House in Little Rock. I was impressed with the parts and capabilities they have.

Everyone with a dyno will tell you they are the best, but it's really a crapshoot unless you use someone who does a lot of performance and has made a name at it.

So, anyone use Rodney's? Please tell me of your experience with the shop.

Thanks

GMR both built AND dyno'd my motor; can't tell you anything about the Little Rock shop. Steve is so well versed in motors that he has his own line of GMR cams and pistons. I'm very happy I found him.

I know Steve would do it right, but six hours one way this time of year is kind of tough.

It may be the safest option though.

You're in NWA? Holler at Bill at Happy Trails in Fayetteville. He's got a dyno and the guy knows what he's doing. I'm from Paragould, btw. Northeastern.

well give it some serious thought; I was in his shop last week and he had 2 Road Glides in there that both had Canada lisence plates on them. I've seen engines on his bench that were crated up and shipped from Australia...just for his work.
