and yes I have over 100k in by bike what you think custom paint cost and a big *** sound system, add wheels to that a baker 7 speed recluse clutch, cvo gauges, custom lighting, and lets add went from 107 to 114 to 120 and now 130, I cannot count what I spent on that each time, ALSO CUSTOMED PAINT TWICE, so that's why it's over 100g,

I said fuelmoto for obvious reasons, figured it would settle the dispute.

Not a fair comparison because the rider and the bike and luck are a factor. You disagree with their numbers so compare yours to theirs on their dyno or on one of your choice. Again, not taking a shot, Im curious to see the outcome and Im not on anyones side here.

There are too many extraneous factors at the track - rider skill, tire condition, weather, track/lane condition, etc. For a true unbiased test you need to put it on the same dyno, same day, with an impartial operator. Just too many uncontrolled variables at the track.

Congrats on the numbers. Not sure why you continually feel the need to denigrate FM, but well done on your build.

So the above statement leaves out FM and Surburban from running the testing to be impartial. It would take a customer with a FM 124 build to meet up with Dr. Buick at a neutral Dyno to find out. Now as for track testing I would disagree. If you are running the 1/4 mile and you only compare MPH not ET it gives a very clear indication of HP. ET does have some of the variables you have mentioned that can influence it.
