We're fortunate to have 3 or 4 top notch tuners here tho. I know Kirby knows a couple of them personally. Rob Schopf and Randy Torgeson.

So about the slipons... They are the Fuel Moto Jackpots. They come with an extra baffle that is supposed to help with reversion. What I understand is it helps with that dip in the torque curve that seems like an issue with some exhausts. I am running an S&S power tune duals head pipe and the Jackpots with the baffle. When I dyno it I could have him try it with and without baffle?
Bike looks beautiful 👍👍. I feel your pain with the snow, in southern Ontario Canada we’re at about 15”…. Still coming down…😢

I highly recommend bigger injectors over stock. Stock will do to about 115 or so, but you will be maxed. Be nice to who ever is going to tune it.

Funny you suggest a dyno tuner but also post this:

Does the OP want it tuned or does he want it close?
