Stage 1 kit on 2015 road glide
So a 6 weeks ago I pulled the trigger and upgraded to a slightly used (503miles) 2015 road glide. After a few nice days here in Kansas I got it up to 973 miles and decided it was time to upgrade. I got an S&S stealth air cleaner, Bassani 2 into 1 and a power vision tuner. I took it into the dealer today for a dyno tune. My question is, what the hell is the stock HP/TQ on a 103 HO? I've visited tons of websites and can't seem to come up with a sure number. I've seen like 70 to 77 hp. I'm just curious what I start with. Anyone else have the bassani 2 into 1?

Well I got my bike back from the dyno today. I'm a little disappointed. I ended up with 87 HP and 101 TQ. The dealer said stock is 67 HP and 87 TQ. I feel like they give you low stock numbers to make your tune look better. I was hoping for more like 92 HP 105 or somewhere in that area. Fuel Moto says they get low 90s for HP and 104 to 109 Tq with 2 into 1s and a heavy breather. Don't get me wrong, there is an obvious increase in power and she goes, but the numbers just seem a bit low

It just seems like everyone posting their numbers on hear are higher than that. Like I said, I definitely noticed it in the throttle. I talk to a lot of people that are diehard 2 into 1 guys that say you get more power but from the looks of some of the other dyno sheets on here I'm lagging a little bit

Different dyno's and different conditions will yield different results in terms of the actual numbers on paper. Performance shops tend to have "happy" dyno's to help justify their work to a degree. From my experience with going the dealer route and then the performance shop for a tune (bike did not run correctly from the dealer) is that the dealers try to tune on the safe side. The performance guys if they know what they are doing will get dig deeper into the settings and get everything they can out of it.
My advice is if the bike runs correctly ride it and don't worry about what is printed on the paper. If you want to go chasing numbers then visit the engine section, talk to the performance guys and get out your wallet.
