Not bad for little setup, btw I have the same setup plus a PCV, never dyno tuned, wait for a 107 kit installed and go from there.

and here we are reading where the short shots cause bikes not to reach max HP/TQ.

I myself am completating VH SS/Longs or Bassani or Freedom Performance and PV and soem AC.

Your numbers look good. Maybe I should get my bike over and dynoed...did not realize different dyno machines turn out diff results. thanks for the idea.

So speaking of dyno's, WARNING, HIJACK..... I have been considering getting my ride dyno'd. I dont have anything fancy, just V&H BSS, Mach 5 a/c, and a Dobeck tuner, would it be worth getting it dyno'd? I am not really interested in the #'s, but I have heard from others that you got a lot more response out of the throttle, and thats what I am interested in. Do you really notice a difference if you are not going with cams and all that fancy stuff?

Bottom line is it worth it?

not so much the machine but things like altitude and temp can cause that. they can all be corrected to sea level numbers but if you live in colorado....

V & H twin slash slip ons
SE breather
SE pro race tuner

I'm at
74 HP
88 TQ

What tuner/software was used to dyno tune your bike?

I had all this installed when the bike was new including the SE race tuner program downloaded to the ECM, then dyno tuned at the 1,000 service with the software. It was close, but the dyno made a HUGE differnece when they got it dialed in perfect. Dyno tune is well worth the $ IMO.

I'm hoping to do cams & dyno again before next summer...then she will really come alive.

Its not the peak HP they nobble, its the rest of the rev ranges. They perform poorly where you do your riding, 2-4K RPM.

The screaming eagle tuner was used to program my bike at the dealership.
Not sure what software they used.
The dyno is brand new and was upgraded to allow trikes.
