to dyno or not

after installing the power commander, chucksters plate mod. the bike runs good, but just how good? getting about 31 mpgs.. I came across a bike shop I didn't even know about here in town and they are metric friendly.. all they do is motors and dyno. no sales, no service. the guy said he see's a lot of cruisers come in, same scenerio, plug in power commander or other processor, milage drops ect. he said most downloadable maps in his opinion are set up to be more rich, since bike damage would be more at a minimum. he said for 40 bucks he would throw it up there and check the maps. for 250 he would do a full dyno and make a complete custom map. If it runs better great, if I get better mpg's it will pay for itself in time. if it runs worse, well I guess that's a lesson and I can put the download map back on. what do you guys think.. bike is a new 08.. 1000 miles on her
