Default Fat Bob on the Dyno Today

Visited Dyno Solutions in Brookfield Ct. today to have my 14 Fat Bob put on the dyno this morning. I am running V&H 3" slip-ons, DK Custom 587 AC and Nightrider FL-Vied's set at 75%.

After 3 runs, Max power = 73.5 HP, 93.5 Ft/lbs Torque and a A/F ratio of 13.65.

I'm a little confused though. Everything that I have been reading is saying that the stock Fat Bob (103) is producing 100 Ft/Lbs Torque. Am I missing something here?

Can't answer your question. Sorry. But I'm thinking about bringing my bike there this or next week. How long did your synopsis session take?

Stock numbers for a 103" engine are 68HP/85TQ. So with the modifications you have in place you're right on the numbers that should be produced. A good tuner and/or Dyno will squeeze some more out, but not a great deal.

I agree.
Want more in a plug/play application??
Install an Andrews 48 or a Wood 222, shy of that bore to 107"/better cams/good cylinder head work/throttle body/tune.

CJJeep, I got there a little early so I had to wait about 30 min. Once the bike was on the dyno, it took about 20 min. The guy at Dyno Solutions has a neat little setup there. It's down around back of the BMW motorcycle dealer. The owner is a very friendly guy and knows his stuff. For 60 bucks, you can't get hurt.
