Default Had a tune done today

Went up to my dealer and had a baseline to see where I was then he had time so I did a tune with the new BT tuning device. Feels really good and love the seat of the pants feel on the road plus I had them activate the cruise while he had it connected.
102hp and 120tq is where we ended up. Looking forward to putting some miles on.

My Fatbob 114, the Slim isn’t tagged yet. I’m taking it up to get its own tune at some point but it’s still the stock 107. The CVO is officially with its new owner and he’s loving it.

Im doing a conversion on the rear fender first before I mess with the engine in the Slim other than maybe a stage 1.

That's a really nice curve on both torque and HP. What setup are you running?

Im not totally sure as I bought it already setup except a known tune. I know it’s got an air cleaner (Arlene Ness), TBR 2 into 1 exhaust and a cam which we think is a power cam given it seems to pickup on the big end. We figured being it’s got the adjustable pushrods that’s it’s not factory.

Wow that's surprising with the TBR exhaust. Usually that exhaust results in a pretty nasty torque dip and less than optimal final results but looks like your tuner did a great job and that cam setup matched pretty well. The M8 engines tend to prefer more exhaust volume and the shorty exhausts dont compliment that well or provide enough scavenging. Good stuff.
