Is it just me or did the new sportster lose 9ft-lbs of torque?

Might be true. Can you post where it says that.

I think they change the way it's being calculated.. The Twin Cooled Ultra specs are lower but they claim it is higher

found out that the Cats are killing the torque.. Now the Sportster (ALL) 2014s have cats. the good news is, they are in the slip-ons and easily removed. You will notice on the 14s they now have heat shields on the mufflers.. too much heat from the cats.

They stuffed cats in the 2014 mufflers. Must be running them even leaner.
