Moving to El Paso
Military says it is time for me to move so they sent me and another buddy of mine to El Paso, we both have ZX-14's. Does anyone know if there are any Performance shops there that have dyno's or reputable places to go for performance work? Any help would greatly be appreciated

I spent 4 years at Ft. Bliss from 83-87, and had a great time riding with my friends all around there.
Plenty of wide open spaces to "open it up" when you get out of town.
And it is almost year round riding season!
Lots of Tank Trails to ride if you feel the need for a dirt bike out there.
And there is a place about 30 miles east of town called Red Sands where all the off roaders go.

I'm pretty sure there is NOTHING in El Paso.......Most of my buddies would take their bikes to dynos/tuners in Albaquerque, san Antonio, Dallas. There are a couplle of crappy drag racin tracks in el Paso........its been 2 years since I went so I'm pretty rusty but if you want we can hit the Drags when you get here.

I am in El Paso. As far as I know, no dyno. There is a huge harley shop, and two other dealers in town, neither of whom I recommend. Las Cruces is close by, but, again, doubt there is a dyno there either. Great riding weather and there is a newly rebuilt drag strip here that I hear is pretty decent, but I really am no authority and dont know any riders who take their bikes to the track here.

I have to apologize, I found that Mr. Motorcycle does have a dyno. Mr Motorcycle doesn't deal with Kawasaki and I have no idea how "reputable" they are, but I didn't' like the service when I went in there to shop or for service.
Can't tell anything other than that they have one and there was no answer when I called the number. I might go by there tomorrow as I have to go across the street tomorrow anyway.
They are a pretty big dealership, so someone must like them.
