I've gotan HQ103 in my "Bagger Lite"; wife and I did about 10000kms together last summer and are looking foreward to more miles this year. Note the torque at 2200rpm.....cams are 033G's from HQ; no issues so far. A brother has a 95 with the 0039 cams; he's 310lbs; goes good.

Nice looking torque graph couterbag. I believe they offer a lower compression (touring) and a higher compression (sport touring) version. I'm curious which package this is from HQ.

Thanks,
Zach

Regardless of which package it is, I expect to see those numbers go up a good bit, as they just threw a MAP in the TMax after the build.

One thing I've noticed about the TMax bikes is that you really have to work with the maps if you wanna chase numbers and get the most out of it.

Choppers big number 117 has a SERT that was "tuned" on the dyno (probably spent at least $100 on the tune). This example is a very nice build with an "auto-tuner" that just made a dyno run.... Not an apples to apples comparison.

How's the 117" runnin John? ready for a 131 yet? [8D]

Ragardless of the numbers "game", I am certian counterbag's bike is an absolute blast to ride and will only improve from here as the TMax continues to "tune itself in". And really.... that's all that matters!

Congrats on the nice build....should be very fun to ride

Which TMax map did you use? Did your tuner make any changes to the timing or AFR's?

Thanks
Thanks. I started with 319 and no adjustments (yes I know it was very mild for the setup). 2 reasons, I have not decided on which throttle body to go with yet and wanted to see how well the Tmax would actually auto tune. So far pretty well. I need to swing by and let them throw it on again just to see how it is after the 1500 mile Daytona trip we made last week.

Thanks Chris.
I agree, and you can definitely feel the difference and for me changed the way I shift her entirely. Did you get some of that break in mileage done yet?

Phil is correct. This was also a test to see how well the Tmax could handle its claims. Having some riends at a dealer to be able to dyno the bike is just a perk...

Pounder, that run was after about 480 miles, and no messing with a map that was just "close" and no tweaking. She already feels better then when it first started, but in the next couple weeks a new throttle body and another map will be going in also...

Quite a blast very true. Always ready to bigger though. I told the wife that I would be happy with this until next year... Needless to say that went over like a fart in a spacesuit.

Quick question for you Phil or Dalton, or whoever else has done the math on this. What is the optimal throttle body and injector size? I keep leaning towards the 50mm (SE or Zippers) any input is always welcome.

Thanks again.
