Looking to get both of my bikes on the dyno in the future but have no idea whatsoever where to get it done or how to find a good place to do it. What kind of costs am I going to be looking at roughly so I can start saving? Any info or help would be appreciated.

Well the reason I am considering doing this is because I wouldn't know how to setup a custom map, and my triumph isn't working out so well with that tuneecu map that's on it, i get a lot of chatter on decel. Same thing goes with my SDR, It has a noticeable flat spot and I feel like it can be improved with an actual tune on it. Unless there's some other way to fix this?
with my limited know-how, this seemed like the best answer to my problems. I am, however, open to other alternatives.

I'm interested in the dyno cause I've spent a small fortune on parts that are supposed to make the engine better and I'd like to see how those parts are doing it; I know they are cause I can feel the difference but I want to know how, I want to see my power curve and make a mental note of the power peak, the torque peak. I want to verify my air-fuel ratio and yea, sure... it'd be nice to brag a bit
As for the shop, I don't recall but yea, it was probably 9/10ths redneck. Lee's huh? I've heard mixed reviews... maybe I'll have to swing by and judge for myself. I've been going to either GP or Motoworld in El Cajon for any work I can't/don't wanna do myself; just had a new set of the Q3s put on at Motoworld yesterday.
Anyways, whatever shop you guys decide on, let me know ahead of time and I'll join in...
Now then, when are we SoCal Duke riders gonna get together for a ride? I've yet to do the Julien run or Palomar Mountain...

Nerd, what I'd like to know is if it's possible to get the bikes to run smoother if the maps aren't doing it well with tuneecu? Like, what are my options here? My triumph shoots flames like it's nobodies business (sometimes 3ft long flames)

Mickey Cohen Motorsports in Tustin, ca. is the place to go. He charged me $300 to do a 2 cylinder map. and only charges about 150 after that in you add an air box or exhaust to adjust the map.
he knows how tune very well.

SDNerd, I'm not sure why you think I want to go cheap on a dyno? I'm trying to go pricey on a dyno but get a group rate. Spending a bunch of money on something doesn't make it better and if I can get the same high quality for less I will. If I was into cheap thrills I woulda bought a Ninja. As for your statement about riding schools while I agree with the idea behind your statement that a riding school will make the rider/bike combo faster and/or smoother it's about as irrelevant to this topic as my tyres. This is about tuning the bike not the best way to get a knee down. My bike has nearly 40k on it (Christ!) and i want it to last for awhile longer; a dyno tune will help with that and even just a pull will (hopefully) put my mind at ease.
You do seem knowledgeable however so I will take your suggestion and pay Lee's a visit.
And I would never do a dyno run at either GP or Moto, they don't even have dynos as far as I know.
