schl, it was actually a sniffer I just didnt know what to call the probe. It was stuck in the center of the muffler (with a hole drilled right through the center).

Yamahoo, I do understand why he jetted one up and one down, I had it pretty far apart at 130/138 because thats what felt the best. I assumed maybe the headwork was flowing different from one side to the other since the wide gap in jetting felt better. (which I guess it did have more power).

I know this is a little off subject but I hadda tell it. Didja see the lates American Chopper where they put the Shelby/ Cobra bike on the Dyno? They were pushing it hard and it starved for oil and seized up- was so hilarious........ Again, I apologise, but I hadda share that.........

I suppose, all those head mods sure will change things, specially if they aren't equal. But I understand the main reason for the difference for jets is the head pipe length difference between the two. And then the rear will run hotter also (typical V-Twin syndrome) What did you modify on your exhaust, just the muffler or headers too? I didn't see....

if he did the sniffer right thats the only way to go. don't worry about the other numbers. i know it's a bummer when you pay all that money and you feel you don't get your moneys worth. we get ares dyno at the track and he charges 25 dollars a pull. so for 45 you can get it jetted right on. no monkeying around and you know for sure.
bad customer service sounds like to me, in a hurry.

Daren, I see you are in chaffee isnt that pretty close to Cape or am I thinking of something else? How far is richards recreation from you? If your near Cape I go through there from time to time I might could take a detour past Richards.
