I can try to get a cell phone video, never had much luck reproducing the sound with this phone. I'll update findings and share my chart when I have it.

Thought I'd update with a little info since I have about 550 miles on. I'll be in for a tune within the next week. Runs great. I checked my mileage today and I got 35 mpg. This was with 400 + lbs of weight on the bike 2up, and all the miles were put on headed up in the mountains. After spending all day on the bike I can say it's noticably louder. Now for an oil and filter change before the dyno.

Worst is when your Dyno guy i.e. Mine, calls me after done and thinks it funny to F around and mention low numbers for a good laugh.

Just got the call. 128 hp/ 129 tq. Haven't got the sheet yet, I'll be picking it up later. John, the owner at dream rides want to road test it. All in all I'm very satisfied with the work and service. I'll post the sheet later.
