    Some options to consider or call and speak to:
    Mark hood in sa has a very good rep. 
    As does hallam Boyz if they're still doing it around Geelong area
    Allan on this forum does it (dynoharley) in central Vic 
    Unsure if la Cycles in hoxton Park does it but worth a look if considering Sydney 

    Who does pro cycle use or do they do it in house?

    Thanks guys, I'll try that number for Steve Fatbat.

    There is also a guy in Brisbane (Owen?) I was told about by someone up here.

    Got a number for Fat Tony Muzza ?

    Not sure what I actually want to do engine build at the moment, but since this thread got started, thought I'd suss it out for when I do.

    Cheers

    I had mine done by a bloke in Ayr up in NQ. Call Dave at the Yamaha Dealership in Ayr and he will help you out.

    Dave races Sprint cars and builds engines, works on Harleys, has his own Dyno in the shop. The fellow who he sent my heads out to was a bloke by the last name of Barbagello in Ayr who apparently does work for Top Fuel Drag Racers.

    Thanks Robbo, is he the guy to get the bike to dyno ? or is there a good outfit in T-Ville ??

    Not any bike specialists up here, couple of car mobs, one says they do bikes.... but I don't want to be the guineapig :)

     Cheers

    Ken there is the harley shop in Townsville and they do great work mate. At the time they weren't up and running so went to the yammie shop in Ayr cos of the good reports  I heard. 
    Dave did my cams and Dino but he outsourced the heads to the fella Barbagello. Give Burdekin Yamaha a call and just have a chat and see if you feel comfortable.

    I have no regrets getting the work done by them and have put another 40000 kms and had no problems at all.

    Cheers Robbo, so the T-Ville place does dyno work, and if so what is the feed back like ??

    Bit closer than Ayr.

    I'll give em a call along with a couple of other contacts like Steve and see what they say.

    Cheers
