True, maybe the numbers would be lower or higher. Probably a good reason a shop should only hand out SAE charts.

Your thinly veiled attacks are getting old, don't you have anything better to do? My build was planned out and discussed with many reputable Harley experts.

Alan,
Glad to see your build is done and running. Must feel good.
Don't stare at the dyno chart too much. If the bike runs good and makes you happy they're just numbers. .obviously address any slipping clutch issues but the cost of a new/used exhaust and a re-tune can be put off for another day. Something to look forward to, anyway. I'd put a couple thousand miles on and shake out any bugs that pop up.

The area I think a lot of people may not account for is all the new gaskets, fasteners, oil, tools, etc...

You are right, new pipes and a retune are off the table for awhile.
The clutch issue is getting my attention now. Seems like the Barnett HD spring should be enough, not sure why it is not holding - would not even know if not for the dyno though
The Rivera is ~ $400 and the Bandit ~ $500, kinda hard to shell out that much right now.

I really don't mind the chart at all, I knew the 1D5250s would have a big impact but I love the looks and sound(especially now) of them and they don't drag.

Next thing you know you'll be looking at a JIMS 6 speed trap door for your transmission. .

I'm surprised it's slipping with a good spring. I've used the se spring at that power level and higher many times with no issue. I chose the Rivera over the bandit because I could get it much cheaper and it seems like the bandit is very fluid sensitive. I think the Rivera would be great with the power you're making. The silver medium spring that it comes with has an easy lever.
What fluid are you using in your Rivera Pro Clutch? Where is a good place to buy a clutch for not to much $$$$$?
