I think that any shop with a Dynojet Dyno uses it.

Oops, my mistake, still a nice setup.

On a side note, Its nice that 2 people who are clearly such political opposites(Eye-p and myself) can leave it there for those conversations and not let it control the emotions and affect every interaction!

pease out!

broken hand/ mcp's the result of a highside brought about by a lack of talent.

i sould be able to train again by the end of janurary, and i will be ready to ride before I finish the bike.

Incorrect.

The Tuning Link software is an additional option and not part of a standard DynoJet 250 base package. Shops are not required to purchase it and shops that do a high volume of specialized mapping have operators skilled enough they don't need it.

Thats why I said "I think" and not "I know". Maybe I should have pointed to Dynojets website.

Jeremy Toye's shop has tuning link. They have had a Dynojet dyno since 1993. Are you saying that they have no skilled operators?

Does my post mention any shop by name specifically?

Oddly enough, you've actually proven my point. If they've owned and operated DynoJet dynos since 1993 then what do you suppose they did prior to Tuning Link being available?

Tuning Link is nothing more than an additional tool that allows automated adjustment of map values based on a target A/F ratio. Like any tool, it is only as good as the individual using it. Unfortunately, that also means that like any other tool it can be misused. Many shops use it as a crutch to generate maps quickly and don't provide the manual tuning often required to develop the very best map for the bike's intended use.

Well since I left the business in 1997, I have never used TL myself. Sure seems like a good tool to have in your box however. Why would you not buy a tool that could save you time, and therefore make you money?

Because a skilled operator can do a base map nearly as quickly and Tuning Link is not inexpensive by any means. Not only is there the initial capital expense but you have to pay ongoing maintenance/license fees.

They are Attack adjustable triples. They were the only thing available other than Harris, which are overpriced, hard to get parts for, and gaudy (IMO).

I had them make the upper for me custom. There is usually reliefs and a Attack insignia machined onto the top surface.

They will make anything you want, you will just have to pay for it. Im sure they still have the Z file for my clamps, so you would just need to modify it for the scotts damper.

I will get some pics up this weekend after I get them back.
