Just a can.

We use a company called Dynotech based near Basingstoke, Andy and Keith
are just about the best there is. Anyone prepared to work all night and
sleep on the floor if they have to get my vote. We have used them for
all the development work on various bikes and received the same high
quality from them. The Daytona had a can fitted, that was all, no other
tricks. Don't forget the engine has received a total make over from the
earlier version, from different valve size and angles to under bucket shims
etc.
The thing with using just one place, apart from their brilliance, is that
we have the previous figures to work from on earlier motors.

So if you are in the UK and want the best guys in the dyno world call
01256 881711.
