Is that a fatcat?


And quiet baffle. Nothing but praise on this, dip and all...

Tman charges a pretty penny for those heads and his cylinder kits. I'd be pretty upset, dip or not

Or it could be a very poor combination on the tman build. A 107 with a performance baffle, 11:1, 45 degree closing 660 lift cam? But people are going to jump on the 2-1 header? Maybe the results are poor baffle choice?

Couple of other things.

The top run, you really don't know if the bike was tuned.. To me it looks like it was and was only a reference run..

Second one the bike was tuned at an elevation of about 6000 feet. I'd take it if it were a 95 ci motor.
