Harley Dealer and Tuned Correctly, don't often collide in the same sentence, LOL.

Had to leave it with them again over night so they can retune it, Harley tech got on it and it happened to him right away, so annoying, should Harley themselves be the best? So aggrevating

Yep, dealerships can't even get part # s right very often.

That sucks, I would think with a good tune you should you see more like 94 and 112 without the rideability issue which is more important than the dyno numbers.

Yeah with a proper tune 57s are around 95/110. Your true duals are hurting the numbers. So sad how bad most dealers are at tuning... and more

What would you recommend for a good exhaust to boost my numbers?

Forget about the dyno numbers for a moment. If you know your bike, you should have felt a significant increase in the seat-of-the-pants power after the upgrade. Did you?

Now find a reputable tuner with a calibrated dyno (meaning, at a minimum, not a HD dealer). Probably will get a good boost in the numbers and a big improvement in ride-ability (more important IMHO).
