There is no dip in the torque curve when riding it thats for sure.

I asked Joe about this actually and he said it was just on that run ..Dont ask me about the specifics but something with throttle by wire and that dyno run?.... I have 3 printouts and on the other two it is a gradual climb from 2k on up , no dips what so-ever..making over 100 tq right about 2250k.. and best run was about 117 ft pounds at 2.5k with max tq about 3800.. She pulls everywhere!!!..
Again i didnt want a hot rod to bar hop, i ride; and ride alot for working 55+ work weeks., so this was Hillsides "tame" touring build..



Thanks for the compliments guys. Appreciate it ...Some people have nice cars, I love my motorcycle

I will say this; depending how far you want to take it, you will be between 6500 on up from there...Its all how far you want to go with her.

I usually am not impressed with how a bike sounds on video, but your bike sure does sound good and if it runs better than it sounds it must be really nice, congrats.

My engine is going to Hillside in the next couple weeks for a 107 with a S&S crank. Its builds like this that make me want to go 117"

Congrats on a killer bike.

No doubt top notch build but way to much coin for me to spend.

Me too, but if you can, why not? You know you're not penny pinching too much are you!? You will be roaring around soon wearing a funny grin!
