Default 2017 power

Anxious to see how much power the aftermarket is going to get out of the new engines that Harley has out now.

I bet fuel moto will have one very soon to start R&D with. But with the current motor comes a new ECM. It may take time for the aftermarket to come up with tuning solutions.

We will have our 2017 bike today or tomorrow and we will start a full effort of testing and product development. We already have ECM reads for the 2017 bikes and are working on getting everything ready with Power Vision so that part of it should go quickly, however we have to develop & redesign a full range of products as nearly everything has changed on these bikes from an engine, exhaust & intake standpoint; we have a ton of work ahead of us. We will start a new thread with our test info and post as we go just as we have done in the past, really looking forward to working in this new platform, we have a bunch of cool stuff in the works with some great partners that we work with. Stay tuned...

cycle worlds article says there is an assist and slip clutch. Also if you look at the cut away pics in the article, the compensator has definitely been beefed up. Still a chain drive with auto tensioner.
