Larry,
No I didn't pay for the tuning service, just came with the install and we
unfortunately ran out of time to get her spot on at the Rolling road. I
would take it back to RPI as they were great but I live in Ireland and they
are in Norwich, England. A bit too far too drive! :)
re: Carb Size. You may be right, but the performance is way way way better
than the SU's I'm happy to keep the 500! :) I guess the little 3.5 may be a
better match with the 390 but I do intend on porting the heads and maybe
taking her out a bit in capacity at some later stage.
Many thanks,
Neil
