    Hi Chris, it doesn't matter to me where the dyno is located, in fact having dyno access is only an option if its available. I actually have some dyno tests already completed, and this beta testing is to provide a blind sampling to remove any bias from the overall results. My only requirement where it involves a dealership or other shop's dyno is that they only perform the actual run and have nothing to do with installing the parts. I don't want any of it finding it's way into someone's tool box instead of onto the bike, or letting it out just yet as to what the package will include.

    Dyno testing would be a real plus but is not mandatory for everyone in this beta test. My goal is really to get input from an assortment of different riders under different conditions. There are so many products on the market today that were developed using a limited base for testing. However what looks good on paper doesn't always perform the same in real life. This is why I wanted to develop a product that would meet the needs of actual riders, not just how it would perform on a dyno chart.

    That's cool Ken, I just wanted to make sure that I was protecting your product and your interests that's all. I have had ideas "stolen" from me before and don't want that to happen to you. When you're done "taking the plunge" and ready to test, let me know. :D

    I'm back and starting to gear up for the beta testing. Unfortunately the manufacturing process is running a bit behind schedule, so I probably won't have anything for another couple of weeks.

    For all those who volunteered, hang in there and I'll be contacting you soon.

    Hello Ken.
    I have a 2000 FLHT TC88 with a set a HD Slip Ons and Screamin Eagle Air Filter Kit. Otherwise Stock.

    I've very familiar with jetting and tuning. I'm looking to try some mods as well as I've picked up a slight lean spit when cracking the throttle. Backing the idle screw out a an 1/8 turn cures it but then fuel mileage drops pretty good. Stock HD Idle Screw has a crappy taper on it !!!

    Looking to do some slide, spring, and main needle mods to it soon. No Dyno for a couple of hundred miles but I know how to read plugs and I can surely to the ass dyno.

    Testing Carb bits

    Hi Ken
    I would be happy to test them on my 1200 Sportster. It goes OK but current carburation is poor... It does have the standard HD stage 1 fitted.
    Cheers

    Hi Ken,
    A little while back you asked me about trying a different tuning part you were working on in your stage 1 help area and that i should let you know. I would be interested also helping out here.
    Thanks Tim

    Ken, I received my box-o-parts today. Those little baggies are gonna come in real handy....:eek: (just kiddin) Anyway, I'm gonna see if I can do a dyno run first before I do anything to get a baseline, then do the swap and run it again and see the changes. How soon do you want the results back?

    BTW, I like all the new icons!
