Dyno Tune in Michigan, Need Help
- Thread starter Doug G
- Start date
So I called a bunch of places today. Still waiting on one more response.
Syndicated Cycle in Essexville - can't do the long bikes
Great American Chopper in Troy- no answer twice (think cutter said they didn't have a dyno)
Forrest Cycle in Flint - still no dyno after Dan West left
Stevensons Cycle in Wayne - $75 per hour, have to drop off the bike Monday and will "hopefully" get done by the end of the week. Seems to know alot, and says he's the only place in the state that gives true edicurrent brake horsepower (more true to reality). That flowjet dyno's always run high in numbers. And he would want to double check that he can get the bikes on the dyno, that its been a while. Its close to my place so I could stop in with the bike.
Ray C's in Lapeer -
$37.50 for 3 pulls to get numbers (1/2 hr of labor)
$115 for pulls, jetting and timing adjustments (1.5 hrs of labor)
Asked about 6 bikes, say 4 tuning, 2 just pulls. If that was the deal, could do on a weekday. If all we wanted was 6 bikes doing power pulls, no problem for a Saturday.
Then I spoke with some people in the R&D epa/manufacture side. He gave me some good info. I got the contact info for an instructor at Washtenaw Community College. the guy use to run the dyno at the HD dealer in Ann Arbor and is suppose to be good. I guess the college just spent like $400k on a new flowjet dyno and room. I have a call into him to see if they can do them and/or interested.

We can always count on you to go the extra mile Gas... :2thumbs:
American Choppers does have a dyno, and I was pretty impressed with those guys I can't remember their performance guys name right now :bang: ... I believe Al said he didn't like the old service manager...

Gas go to fuckin bed!!!!:Yawn:
Ok the details I got from what I will vote for "the place"
Backdraft Custom Cycle
About 10miles from Full Throttle
$50 evaluation and pulls (includes air/gas check) aka horsepower pull with extra
$75 per hr for tuning & pulls (includes air/gas check, jetting, ignition) and average amount of time for those adjustments.
Now he said he'd be able to do 6-8 bikes on a sunday and make a dyno day out of it. That Sunday's would work best for him on this.
The only catch is to do it on a sunday it has to be June 15th or later. I was thinking if that's not soon enough maybe if I get a honest number of bikes and what the bike wants. Then try for maybe a Saturday.
What you guys think... who's in for the dyno day and what do you want?
