Thats a good question, so i asked. The dyno person told me he just for got to reset the computer. Now I had this done at HD of Dallas in Allen tx. The dyno guy has 20 years exp., he use to work for dyno jet. I don't care what you think about the numbers but I will say this my bike would run right beside a few friends bikes stock. Now they cannot keep up, the dyno guy said I had a 1 in 1000 motor. If you want to meet somewhere we can, lets run them side by side and see what you think. Not being a smartass but i will ride and show you.

I believe you when you said he forgot to reset the dyno, my guess is he forgot to reset it after the bike before yours, and you got the previous bikes numbers. those are big #s for a stock bike. Not calling anybody a liar, just not buying those #'s,something is wrong somewhere.

Of course the guy that you just paid money to is going to tell you that you have a good engine! You just paid him money for a service!

Dyno's are tuning devices. If it is running great, then you got your money's worth. I am very happy with the $400 I spent for mine.

You should be! Well done. I have an S&S 107" Evo with a 585 cam and get a wide smooth torque curve too. Now if I could just sprinkle some magic dust and convert it to a 124"..........
