OK, who around Denver does Chassis Dyno? I'm going to need someone to fully set up the Duc once I get it put back together and just trying to figure out who around town does that work and who has a good reputation. I'm sure there has to be someone but, I just haven't been able to figure out who it is.

Actually, I just looked them up. They don't do bike chassis tuning. I don't need someone to tune the motor, I need them to dial in the suspension and set-up on the bike. I wouldn't mind doing a custom fuel map on the bike because the custom map that is in it was set up at a much lower elevation and is very rich up here, but, that is not my main concern. I want someone to look over my suspension set up when I am done putting it back together, and dial it in to my weight and height.

There are shops that will fully tune the chassis but, I don't know of any around here. Here is an article of what I am talking about but, this is a do it yourself:

Maybe call Steeles motorcycle salvage off Union and ask them, they are pretty knowledgeable there.

I did some more searching today and found these guys. Anyone ever deal with them at all? I emailed with them and they can do it but, I'm not sure what level of equipment they have for it or if they are just doing it with hand tools. Some places actually have dyno's that are designed to dial in the chassis.

I've heard good things about them, though no personal experience.

I've not heard of the chassis dyno thing, though.

Also give Epic Motorsports outside of longmont a call. A racer friend of mine had his by dyno'd there as they have a guy that consistently pulls more power than anyone else in the Denver area by tweaking the fuel map. They are pretty new but it was set up by racers so I understand. Not sure if they do chassis tuning or not though most racers do that themselves.

Of their dyno may read slightly higher?? You realize that you can fake dyno numbers by putting in different calibration and altitude compensation factors? I know that one dyno that I saw the same bike run on was about 5% than another one that the same bike was on.
