Question HELP....tuners in Portland

just called a bunch of shops in portland, or and no one will tune a triumph.

called the dealership and they said they can't fine tune and that if i remove the airbox it will pop and "fart". i am looking to get an airbox eliminator kit and a new exhaust, but want to get a baseline dyno and fine tune afterwards.

anybody know of anyone that will do that in portland, or?

Probably because they "tune" EFI bikes. You need someone who still knows how to work with carburetors. Have you tried the Harley shops? Not all of them will work on non-Harleys, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

Tuner in Portland

Cascade Moto Classics in Beaverton can do it all for you.
They have a dyno and are a Triumph Dealer.
I had them do the complete "Full Meal Deal" on my Thruxton which included all the things you're talking about plus an exhaust system, jetting and more.
I highly recommend them, good people to deal with.

Dude, You have my #

Call me. You know I live in Portland. You can even ride my bike to see if my tuning skills are worthy.
