Default Couple New Upgrades

I have been piece mealing (sp) my bike along a few upgrades at a time. It is a 2019 Fatboy S.
I just got it out of the Indie shop in Jacksonville from having the Fuel Moto 11.0:1 Big Bore Kit installed along with an AIM SDR clutch.
We followed Jamie's advice and did the break-in on the dyno. After that we did some pulls without any tuning other than what was on the base tune Jamie sent us.
The dyno graph is the last one we did out of about 6 pulls without any changes in Jamie's tune. I got it home and sent the graph to Jamie and he said to do 2 or 3
Auto tunes and send him the tune but the graph looked spot on but he wanted to double check after the Auto Tune. It was a trip riding home 35 miles. First gear would break loose
without me expecting it to.
I'll do the Auto Tuning tomorrow if we are not rained out. 63% chance right now. It has great street manners and with the 30 tooth sprocket it has to be watched taking off around corners.
Sorry it is blurry. had to scan it in on home equipment. I try and get a better copy to post along with any updates from Jamie.

I’m on cvo sg with a FM built and dyno tuned 128 and things will get greasy on the rear end pretty quick so I’m sure your lighter fat boy will be fun! Be especially careful if the road is wet, I can roll into it hard at 3k rpms in 4th gear on a wet road and it step out like a married man on 200mg of viagra! It’s a blast! Congrats on your build sir!

Those are some great numbers. I like how flat that torque curve is and the smooth power curve. Congratulations

Quik, now I'll be scared to ride in the rain. Well, at least take 200mg of Viagra ahead of time so I will die happy. I'm already looking for sand and gravel on the street when I make a turn from a dead stop.
Cosmic Razorback and WorkForIt: Thanks for the compliments.

You will adjust fine, just be cautious til you get used to your new found power is all. A high quality tire will help a lot. Tires are one thing I will not try to cheap out on when it comes to motorcycles.

I just want everyone to know Quik put a curse on me.

I got all dressed up like I was going to the Ball, went into the garage to do 3 Auto Tunes for Jamie (Not in the garage). I had my best attire on, slicked my bald head down and put on my Palatka shave lotion,
slipped on my Red, White & Blue Harley Gloves, Pulled over my Shoei and then slid my Aviator Bullet proof "prescription" Sunglasses' on. All of which "I MADE LOOK GOOD".
By the way, That's an original line I came up with.

I set all the Auto Tune features like the Fuel Moto directions dictate, then 'Quik' happened. I opened the garage door and there it was. RAIN.......... I was cursed. Then I thought about who had warned me about riding in the rain.
He also stated "just be cautious til you get used to your new found power".
Is he telling me without telling me I am now a "Super Hero"? For him to know this that would mean that Quik is also a Super Hero....
The plot quickens. A new Marvel Show with New Super Hero's is close to being announced.
Watch this Spring for an announcement.
