Default Wooo Friggin Hooo

Today my Road King was dyno tuned with the PowerCommander and the Bassani Road Rage.
First things first............there is NO comparision!!!!
Just got home from a 85 mile run after leaving the shop. This is a completely different bike!
It got some major pulling power baby.
I went from the stock exhaust and factory download to a "Sport Bike" hahahahaha.

The dyno charts are out in the garage in the saddle bags, so I don't want to say the numbers for fear that I will get it wrong, but it was almost a gain of 20/20, and that my friends is a 1/3 gain on hp and tq. Took a couple pics in the dyno room and took a short video of one of the pulls...........Did I say I was happy?

One other thing. I bought my Bassani used from a friend that has a 124" Road King that has been reduced to a 114"(I think). He took the flywheels out, went back to stock with the large cylinders. Any who, he was at the dyno shop getting his other bike tuned right. He was having fuel pressure issues. The bike is a turbo Hayabusa.........first pull was 248 to the back tire, ain't that some crazt chit?

Man Iam a happy camper right now Got to go help with the cooking detail for tomorrow nights party........See Ya

Correction.............

the gains where:
17.15 hp (peak)
14.59tq (peak)

For the record, I lost hp & tq at 2000 rpm's, but at 2150 the lines crossed and the gains just got bigger as the rpm's increased. From 2500 to 4000 rpm's its incredible! I scanned the dyno sheet and tried to improve the quality, but its crap.
Iam sending Terry a pm in hopes he can improve the quality

No surprize here - I have always had Bassani products on most of my toys, they make one of the best exhaust systems on the market for all different kinds of vehicles - as most of you know.

That being said, I bet that is the best gain anyone will get from a tune and exhaust change. Bassani rocks and the rest are just CHEAP imitations, don't forget boy's and girl's "you get what you pay for"!!!

Kess JDS Cycle in Roselle Park at 247 Westfield Ave.
Joe, the owner is an old drag bike racer. Many pics on the walls at his shop of him in action. JDS cycle will be doing my 1000 mile service and any work needed from here on out. www.JDSCycle.com.

I got the video uploaded of one of the pulls. First thing, well two things. Didn't realize it, but I was under the exhaust fan. Couldn't hear because of the ear-muffs. When its turned on, its loud. And I ran out of memory in my camera right in the middle............but here what I got.
