Tuner near Charlotte NC Ben's V Twins
« on: February 02, 2012, 09:36:25 AM »


A good tuner is hard to find and I have found a good one.
And only 3 miles from home makes it even better.

The name of the shop is Ben's V Twins located in Indian Trail, NC.
The number is 704-821-1550.
Ben is the owner of the shop and is a great guy. I have know him forever and my daughter use to babysit his kids many years ago.
Mark Harrington is the tuner at Ben's. I took the 01 SERG, the 03 Classic and 2011.5 SEUC down there this past Tuesday.
Those bikes didn't need anything but I just wanted to check and make sure everything was still the way it should be.
Mark has a great reputation and my time with him showed that to be true.
Indian Trail and Ben's is just east of Charlotte on highway 74. Easy in and easy out and great service while your there.

The SERG on the dyno.
And yes I forgot to take a picture of the 03 Classic on the dyno.
I was very pleased with my results and will use Mark in the future on the next one.
Ben's email address is Ben@bensvtwins.com or call 704-821-1550 and either Mark or Ben will help you out.

That's what I'd have guessed.  Was really wondering if the tuner was wedded to a single platform or was comfortable with different devices.  Good to see someone who is willing to work across multiple platforms.  Does he work with the T-Max software also?

YUPPERS!
I just called Ben and he said they had installed Thunder Max systems and Mark was familiar with it.
Anyone have any questions please call Ben or Mark at 704-821-1550.

That's refreshing.  So many of these guys suffer such a case of tunnel vision.   Won't look beyond one thing they get familiar with.  To their detriment too because you know they miss some sales of hardware or tuning time to guys that already have the investment made elsewhere.  If he's actually good with all the platforms that's a real find close to home for you.  Does the shop offer a flat rate price for a tune or work hourly?
