DYNO Numbers for Baggers???
Have searched (nationwide) and found my "new to me" '11 RGU back in January... less than 130 miles from my house. I felt it was a really good deal. Completely stock with 9600 miles on the odometer, and an extended 2 year warranty (which nets me 3.)
Having said that... I found that the stock epa 103" unfulfilling (pathetic actually.) Many times, I'd opt to ride my old King for the "fun factor." Last year, I'd installed a big bore with ported heads and gear driven Andrews 26's. She'll talk to ya, when ya twist the throttle!
The research (quest) began in earnest to upgrade the RGU. I've read countless posts about endless combinations. All I was looking for was the "best" possible solution to my wants: respectable power without compromising reliability. Needless to say, the a/c, pipe, and slip-ons were necessary from the start. Cams and a tuner add a whole new dimension.
Contacted Doc Weaver. Have read lots about him, and many consider him to be the best at his craft in the nation.
On his opinion alone, I installed SE 254E cams. TTS Mastertune, Ness a/c, Fullsac X, and Rinehart 4" rounded out the components. Doc advised that the Rineharts weren't the best performers, but wouldn't argue the sound.
I'm north of Atlanta, and made an appointment along with a good buddy for March 9th.
This was the result:

[/IMG]I consider it a tragedy that Doc was silenced on this (and others) forum.
He's a tuner. Sure he sells the TTS (BTW, I'd already purchased mine... didn't purchase anything other than the tune.) It's what he considers the best, and can factually argue the virtues/downfalls of each system. (I can't!)
If your undecided on what combination of components would best fit your needs, be sure and consult with Doc. The man will cut to the chase, and weed out all the marketing hype. He's been there since the beginning, and knows what works and what's marginal.
I'm really glad that I listened to the man. His description was spot on. It's silky smooth, with power where it's useful. Runs like a sewing machine!
Is it the fastest/quickest 103"? Absolutely not.
Is it finally the touring machine that Harley intended the RGU to be? RESOUNDING YES!
It's been over a month. I've not looked at my bike the same way since Doc's majic was applied.
Best of luck with your choice, I'm tickled to death with mine!
The continuous grin speeks for itself... just sayin'
