You would have to dyno it to get accurate #'s. From what I have seen most are in the mid 60's hp and low to mid 80's tq.

If you are lookin' for extreme HP...You are lost...If you are happy with 80-hp stock, you are fine!

Sounds about right. Torque estimate might be a little on the high side.

Just to , this is a base line dyno run on a 2007 Fatboy. The bike is stock except for the SE air filter and Vance & Hines big shots (with power chamber that joins the two pipes together). The bike also has a stage 1 download. The dyno run was in 4th gear:

If you like the bike "Great" if your interested in Torque & Horsepower your either need to get a second job to pay for the mods or get a second bike. I love harleys but I have no delusion that its a performance bike. They are" cruisers" You would think the MOCO could do better on this issue. Passing cars even with the stage 2 is sometimes frustrating compared to My rocket that has 140 hp and 150 Ft lbs Torque from the factory. Now if I could only get my 3 cylinder rocket to make the potato - potato sound that would be a hell of a bike!
