Here's a link to dynojet that shows who has their motorcycle dynos. Punch in your zip codes and it will show who has them in your area.

I'd avoid a dealer and find an indy. They usually do a much better job and don't have to follow the manufacturers rules and EPA rules. Do some research and goggle reviews on each of them that you find. A good tuner technician is more important than the tuning device. A good tuner tech can make a bike come alive and a bad one can make a great bike run like crap.
Prices will vary as well as the time they spend. Some guys will spend hours and tweak everything. That's great. On the other end of the spectrum are guys like the one that tunes my bikes. He's been doing it forever and has a huge database of tunes. He matched my mods ( pipes, cams, air cleaner etc) to previous tunes he's done and downloaded the last into my bike as a base to start. He did a few pulls to tweak it a little to my bike and that becomes his base for the next bike with the same mods. It doesn't take him long and he only charges $200. It may not be perfect like the guy that spent hours but it's so close no one could tell the difference off the dyno.
What is your purpose for wanting to dyno? Unless you just want to see the chart, look into Fuel Moto. If you buy a power commander from them, they will give you a map similar to what my tuner has done from their huge data base and it will run great. If you change something later, they will send you a new map for free.

My advice is to get a recommendation from someone you trust that has direct knowledge about the shop or you could very well be wasting your money. Not that it's a substitute for a good dyno tune, but you can get a Powervision for same or less money and on request dynojet will send you a tune for your engine/cam specs that will at least get you started. After building 107 last spring I wasted $600 on dyno tune from an indy that seemed to have a decent rep. After tune bike had some major problems with flat/dead spots in rpm range and off idle acceleration that I fixed myself using powervision to tune VE tables, and then after comparing maps I realized they'd made no changes at all to ignition timing. When I inquired was told "they didn't mess w/timing"... WTF...

i sent him a message. I plan to call as well it seems like that is the place to go. It would be AWESOME if I didn稚 have to trailer it two hours and spend 200-300 bucks. I知 already close to over budget.

I知 looking to dyno because I知 changing camshafts. The bike is a 2005 Ultra Classic. It has the Harley hi-flow air cleaner and Rinehart True duals. It has a Harley tuner that was installed with the AC and exhaust all when bike was new and it was run on a dyno then. But I figure it will have to be remapped with different camshafts.
If you are on a budget, I'd look look at getting a Power Commander from Fuel Moto with their map for your cams already installed. No dyno necessary, you can do it yourself. Later, when your budget allows, you can have it tweaked on a dyno if you still felt the need.
