Meh...they may have just tweeked you for a couple more hp than him, and him a couple more ft/lbs. Depends on the tuner too. 6 of one...1/2 dozen of the other.

That is not a surprise ... vibration level will go down quite a bit with a good tune ....

2005 Dyna: Maintenance p. 1-54 to 1-57

* * *

Excessive Vibration:

1. Wheels and/or tires worn or damaged.
2. Engine/transmission/rear wheel not aligned properly.
3. Primary chain badly worn or links tight as a result of insufficient lubrication or misalignment.
4. Engine to transmission mounting bolts loose.
5. Upper engine mounting bracket loose.
6. Ignition timing advanced due to faulty sensor inputs (Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) and/or Crank Position Sensor (CKP))/poorly tuned engine.
7. Internal engine problem.
8. Broken frame.

After I installed my ThunderMax with AutoTune, my vibrations decreased significantly ....

I find the increase in power and torque to be subtle and somewhat deceiving ... when I twist the grip it is just much more responsive ....

With the rising price of gas these days, finding a service that meets your needs as close to home as possible isn't a bad idea.

Although, finding the dyno cheaper but paying more in gas to get there would have probably equaled out in the end.

Either way, congrats. It's tough finding good dyno guys sometimes.

Similar numbers here 74hp, 91tq. The bike runs cooler , pickup is so much better and as SURFOR chop says much much smoother. In 6th i can drop down to 50mph and roll the throttle on...love it.

The graph is the important part, more so than the peak #'s. It shows where in the RPM range the power is. Also, shows if there are dips in the power band. It's the graph on the sheet which tells the story of the dyno.

Of course it's how it feels when you're riding it that matters most. Glad you're happy with the results.

I just got VH BSS, ThunderMax AT, and SE Heavy breather installed this past week. There is a noticable increase in throttle response, and pick-up, not to mention the deffening sound. Still configuring the ThunderMax with the suggestions from the ECM. Pictures to come.
