Hi Tim, I am going to chime in here only because I have a few minutes to do so...On your tune you Torque is what I would think is something you would want to address, you see how late it comes on, you have to have higher rpm to even get the bike in motion according to what I see, it would be nice if that were down around 2000~2500 rpm range. Now you may get that w/ a 2-1 pipe like a fatcat or check different cams, the shop may have a set that you could stick in and do a run w/. Those of us that enjoy looking at Dyno sheets our quick to see how they are read (SAE, STD, Smoothies, fuel lines...ect) we also understand that Wide Open Throttle is exactly what it is WOT, not everyday thrashing like passing someone or just wicking it up threw a turn. Your numbers look great in STD at WOT but your torque curve well we see room for improvement. It is very unlikely that your thrashing will feel much different than what we see on you torque curve so getting that up so it comes on quicker would be my next move on the tune especially on a tourer. Ride safe, and nice bragging rights.

On a side note I had mine re-tuned a couple weeks ago and my #'s on paper are not as high as yours. However, I believe that my tune is by far exactly what I wanted, better fuel mileage, power is more than enough and most would be hard pressed to out perform it's power threw the mid range, the front wheel will lifts on a 3rd gear speed shift at 5000 rpm's. there is my bragging rights.

wow, those are impressive numbers. hope my 96 inch motor when brought up to 103 will be as much. planning on having branch flowmetrics do my heads, just over 10 to 1 compression, and with the stock 2008 throttle body being 50mm, might not need much work there. and the cam thing still has me stumped, thinking about the tw21 or tw 26 cams, but still up in the air about cams till i'm ready. a winter project, as i don't wanna kill my horse when it's nice riding weather. great numbers, and i bet your bike hauls ***. good for you. is dependability gonna be an issue with your build?
