Yeah, I'm happy.
Max Torque = 129.77 @ 4110 RPM
Max Power = 121.28 @ 5360 RPM
She has manners while just cruising. But, get on it and she wakes up in the mids.
Thanks Dave and JD's Cycle Works

WOW you got that out of a 475C cam with the 55mm maniffold and 5.5injectors? NICE.
I wonder if they can do anything about that dip, but damn you have peak power range from 5200 to 6000. That's awesome.

Go practice some 0-60s, I wanna see haha.

That dip is seriously only a couple ft pounds and isn't noticeable at all. I'm happy that he got it so shallow. It is common with a 2-into-1 and a cam with overlap. I'm happy with the tune. Cruises nice then hits like a mule when you hit it. And the idle is the best I heard from a drop in.
my brother has the 22xe in his breakout. Its good. My idle is better. I have a better tune. He also has big radius on it without any other upgrades.
I did one rolling WOT and it cleared the fromlnt tire when I hit 2nd.

Decided against the tassels on the seat (as per Heritage style) - tested fitted and just appeared to be too much and detract away from the studded features.
However, I did get a Leather studded bib and I think it looks great.






Final thing that I'm thinking about is whether to trim/cut off the lower panel on the heat shield below the red line

My concern being (although you can't see it) it rubbing on the top of the primary case cover

Looking to change some hardware on my console to BLACK (stainless steel and powder coated or anodized)
Currently they are the OEM stainless parts as highlighted on the diagram:
  • #10 Screw, 10200141
  • #11 Screw (2), 10200200
  • #1 Washer (2), 6917M
  • #12 Screw 10200583
The problem I'm having is that I can't find out what their actual size is
I don't particularly want to paint them (as it doesn't last) but, if I could find out the size, I could go to a local hardware store and just buy off the shelf.
Any help would be appreciated.
