Think we’re a little different down here, dealer said everything gets packaged into the warranty when getting it all done at the time of purchase. Already had some warranty work done for a dodgy shifter that needed a double press to down shift. So I think it’s all good.

You said you had the bike, "tuned up" during it's first service. Are you saying they did a dyno tune? (which is a separate cost, not included in any service). If they did, they clearly do not know how to tune a bike. Not sure how many competent dyno tuners there are in Australia, but try and find one to improve on that big torque dip.
I never heard of the Techo-whatever tuning device, but I'd suggest you get a tuning device from Fuel Moto, if you don't take it to an actual tuner. They provide you with a map to go with the device that you can download yourself, which I'm sure will be an improvement over your dyno chart. Check out the dyno charts on their website- plenty have short 2-1 pipes with smooth torque curves.
Yup it had a dyno tune done. was included as part of the stage two upgrade done with the dealer, they just waited till the first service to do it after the brake in period, before that it was just loaded with a generic tune I'm pretty sure. This is the tuning key thing that they used, TechnoResearch TR200053-M01 Maximus Direct Link Tuning Key for H-D 01-Up w/Delphi EFI (easyr.com.au). I essentially just went with what the dealer recommended.
Stage 2 on a 115degree hot *** day with shorty 2-2 custom Ground Pounder exhaust and Andrews 462 cam 107/115. Baseline numbers ran 79/104. With cooler weather I’m sure she’ll make 110/120 easy. 28hp jump, not bad for just a cam abs tune, bike sounds incredible.
You gained 28 hp and 11 ft/lb of tq, so yeah, it surely feels better than what you had. It is also making a ton of noise now, so that adds to it. But you left probably 10 to 15 hp and 10 to 15 ft/lbs tq on the table because of those pipes. And you've killed the power below 3K rpm. Yeah they look cool and you probably really like the sound, so if that is what you're after you're good, but a good set of pipes will make it run much better. I've got a 107" that made 120 ft/lbs tq and 104 hp. with cam, mufflers, and air cleaner.

plenty of torque and I ride in the 2800-3500 rpm range and that’s where it feels good. Runs great for what I want. Didn’t want to look like all other FB’s with 2-1 that all look the same. That’s not called noise it’s called music to my ears!! Lol On a cool day I’ll get 110/120 numbers. For now it’s good.
