So I think a 20% hp advantage and (far more importantly) a 40% torque advantage should result in the BMW driver getting a very serious (if brief) look at taillights.
was that a generous or conservative dyno and what temp ?

Don't know what you're talking about. I don't have time to follow you around. Threads you're talking about?

To the OP, your bike is beautiful and congratulation on exceeding your performance goals. This next part is not meant as any disrespect to you or to the people that you spoke with regarding 150 hp Harleys. I find it hard to believe that all of the many 150 hp dyno sheets posted are bogus. Many of those bikes have been prepared by some of the most respected names in the motorcycle industry (Star racing comes to mind as one of them). As I stated, no disrespect intended.

Eccool whether you're right or wrong there's the "big numbers" sell product gang out there optimising their dyno readings , I don't know who does or doesn't do it but it gets done every working day of the year by someone...

Peace, dyno safe.
