One thing I forgot to mention that might have some degree of impact on numbers is we are ~3500 ft above sea level. What do you think?? I know drag racers drop to considerably less ETs from here to Dallas area.

That is what 'corrected' numbers are supposed to compensate for, including altitude, temperature and humidity. If we all use those numbers we will be comparing compatible data.

I have often thought we could do with a bike mag taking the same bike around North America to test it on several dynos at very different locations, to demonstrate good practice, so numbers from everywhere are valid.

Default 2011 Road Glide Custom 103

103 engine. V&H Power Duals with Slash Tip Rounds. SE Air Cleaner. TTS MasterTune. Tuned by Cartersville, GA dealer. 81.xx HP / 98.xx Torque. Those numbers sound OK?

Installed at 1000 miles. Bike now has just a bit over 2100 miles. I'm still getting 39-41 mpg - doesn't appear to matter much if I'm getting into it some.

Will post exact numbers and the dyno chart (which is in mph rather than RPMs!) when I figure out how.

BillL......, the police bikes may have a better than stock cam in them. That might be the trick. I need some help on this; please anyone chime in.

Hi Harleyiron,
I don't know why but the stock police bikes tend to have better numbers. I've only ran accross a few and have never done a full search.
Hey, did you get out riding on Sat or Sun? I didn't go. I'm getting over the crud. PM sent

i did get out on fri, sat,and sun. i was told on the 103 that your starting out with a really good base engine the word used was stroker i'm not a engine guy but i was happy with the numbers i got 95 hp 115 tq the bike runs great and got more power then i need(if that is possible ). the hd dealer south seems to produce some big numbers there dyno is new so maybe thats why and i talked to the head tech and he gave up some secrets of hi numbers. sounds like alot of tricks to produce # but when it comes right down to it ,its all about bragging and its fun to see what other bikers are getting with there setups
