Greg, weather permitting when it happens, there is a indy shop up here by me that does a "Customer Appreciation Day" with a bbq and all that. They do $20 dyno runs, and while it includes no tuning, it will at least show you what your bike is putting out. I plan to run mine there when they have their next one. I have no idea if mine has a map or tuner or whatever, and not sure how to tell, but it had (and still has) a K&N hi flo filter and Kerker pipes when I bought it and it runs like a raped ape. Its definitely faster than 2 stock 96's I have ridden, all through the rpm ranges. I am not trying to brag, just trying to say from the "seat of your pants dyno" the power in those 96's never came on like my 88 does.

My, aren't I the long winded TOAK'er this morning?

Morning, Mark!

Too bad about the talent level at the show.
When is the dyno day?

I would jump on that just to know. I do know I need a decent tune.
The only thing you missed in here was Izzo saw what we did to the post count thread and deleted everything. Pretty quiet in here yesterday.

Same here, Craig. I have a 8:30 tee time. It'll be chilly at first but no rain predicted.
