I agree with SafetyMan. My set-up is very similar to yours........ Never had it dyno'd, so am looking forward to your results.....

Don't bank completely on the numbers, you are much better going seat of the pants. The numbers are a guide. Does it pull strongly all the way thru the RPMs or are there flat spots?? Some dyno's are happier than others, some operators better than others. You also have temp and humidity differences, Most of the numbers posted are legit but if it's off a couple ft lbs or Hp numbers, I wouldn't sweat it.

I'm guessing 81/100. The things you've done are cool, necessary, but basic...the big numbers start with cams and head work. Replacing the air cleaner and exhaust opens the motor up but the motor needs to breath to start making 90+ H/P.
I just sold my '05 built with all the SE goodies including cams, head, true dual exhaust, etc and it just made 1 H/P shy of 100! Ugh!!!! My new bike is the Ultra Limited which I just picked up last Saturday. Already have slip-ons and air system bought and ready to start the build.

What was the temp when doing the dyno? It's in the mid 90's here now so my guess would be that if you had it dyno'd again in Nov it would be closer to high 80's. The heat kills power!
