I live between Dale's and Black Diamond H-D and still took mine to Doc's in St. Louis. Figured they build drag bikes so they had to have an idea how to tune one. Beenvery happy with the bike since.

Dale's have always done excellent work on my scoots. Would definitely recommend them.

Not to resurrect an old thread but my two cents about Legacy in Effingham, Il. I bought two bikes there. Sales guy John did great. Plus one there. Parts guys are all good. Owner knows me by name. Kudos to the mechanic who took time to discuss cam/dyno tune with me.

Hey Mark5 thanks for the props on Legacy HD. The whole store has all new management and doing much better business. I know people are sceptical on going there from prior experiences but trust me if your in the area it would be worth stopping in and talking to the new guys and girls.

I have a PowerVision I tune with and flashed the bike with the canned map as soon as Ryan dropped it off. I started it before ECU flash just to see how it ran-like crap of course. New map down and it ran +10 better. Couple AT runs and should be good to go. I can only hope Dustin will learn PV from DynoJet so I can have him tune for optimum for me. He is a good tech and only going to get better-its in his blood and you can hear it when you talk to him.

Best to your dad "M". Later.
