Default Free Dyno Tuning!!!!!!!!

Some of you are aware that when I bought my Street Bob I noticed I had a cracked casing when I went to have my 1000mi service done. Well the dealer (Eaglesnest) got me a new engine installed in a week and a half and in the meantime supplied me with a nice loaner. They also told me they would have my bike dyno tuned when I got the 2-1 exhaust I wanted. Well I recently bought the D&D Fat Cat 2-1 and tomorrow they are going to install pipes and dyno my bike! This dealer has provided excellent customer service!!!

IMO I'm very happy with my D&D it's loud but not obnoxious like I found the thunderheader to be, and the thunderheader blues very quickly.

Mine is on a bagger by the way.

Ok, D&D Fat Cat was put on earlier this week Dyno was done yesterday. It would have been done the same day but a sensor went out on the Dyno machine and had to be replaced. I don't have a scanner so I can't show the chart, maybe in the future. Keeping in mind my engine is stock, before Dyno: 63.69HP 78.72 max torque. After Dyno tune: 74.05HP 86.35 max torque. The technician said the Hp would probabaly pick up a little when the engine is hotter because the engine was somewhat cold when tuning was done. I don't know about that? There are more of you here that know more about that then I do. In the past I've never done more then stage I on any of my bikes. Well all this was free to me compliments of Eaglesnest in Lathrop CA. I picked up the D&D on Ebay brand new for $300. I'm damn happy!

Nice... sounds like your dealer made good on you having to deal with the cracked casing. The D&D fat cat is nice... black or chrome?
