Joe: How do you feel about the results as far as the ride is concerned? Did the tune make enough of a difference to justify the cost?

Jim, it's raining ice right now. Won't know anything till Friday at 12pm. Lol. Cause that's when the plane touches down.

I will respond to that question this weekend. I've always enjoyed my bike as a solo rider. But the other 50% is with passenger. That is were I felt the bike didn't have enough juice. 330lbs combined.

I was not completely satisfied with 555torqster and fuel tune. Again. Not pointing fingers.

I have a pretty good butt dyno. And will be completely honest as best I can.

The top and bottom of the sheet are cropped. That's usually done to hide the smoothing factor. Is this SAE or STD? I would've expected a touch more with the head work.

I loved the Tman 555 torqster cams I thought they were a really good low end bolt in cam. I ran it with gutted head pipe and a set of V&H slip ons. I also had Tman tune it as well. I can't find my old dyno sheet I'll try to find it when I get home.

I don't want to come on here and misrepresent. And this thread is not to bash. Everyone comes on here and says "get a dyno tune!" Vs a flash tune. So I did.
Tuner says it's a totally different bike. He didn't build it and has no reason to lie.

Hope you find the old sheets, just to compare. Thanks.

Wasn't bashing. Was just curious because they look a little low to me. But that could be reflected by the extent of headwork that was done as well. Regardless I think you'll find the bike has a bit more spunk to it.

I wasn't trying to bash anyone either. I am sure you will see a huge difference over what it was before. Ride it and be happy. Don't try to chase dyno #'s I think to many of us do

Lol! I wasn't Accusing you guys! Mostly posting for others. And waiting for someone to explain the dip where no one wants one. Lol.

Long story short......I have nasty s.e. slip ons. Couldn't move fast enough to see if a better set would have made a difference. Kinda glad I didn't get them.

I don't want to waste money on slip ons, if it won't take care of dip. Maybe 2/1?

Don't under estimate the effect slip ons have on HP and TQ. A badly designed set of slip-ons can kill power all by themselves. Generally speaking, a good 2-1 is as good as you can get power wise, particularly for low and mid range.
