Finally got the Dyno done today, 109 HP 115 TQ, installed the Fatcat, think there is more in there but am happy with this set up now. Will probably swing by Phil's guy on my way to Phoenix next year to get a retune.

Not bad, #'s dont tell the whole story though. If it's well mannered, rides well and makes power where you want it. Dont sweat the retune. You can couple hundred dollar yourself to death chasing #'s. Save your money, and ride the **** out of it until your ready for the next, bigger build
Try and post a sheet if you dont mind, either here or over in the dyno #'s for baggers thread. I would like to see it.
BTW, what baffle did you go with on the pipe? And how do you like that Fat Cat?

just a guess based on other dyno results for same build and only put200 miles on it for break in so should get tighter after a couple thousand miles. Not a major issue will get redone in texas, doc does not do sest tuning.

on my hq 113 the #'s where somewhat low compared to hq builds I had seen on the internet and i found myself spending more money trying to get the dyno #'s higher, this is a mistake and I guess very much human nature,my advice is to line her up with a similar build and see what happens, I know I was pleasantly surprised as the few I have lined up against had reported higher dyno #'s and I thought I would most likely get waxed ,to my surprise this was not the case, these hq builds are hard to beat up to 100 mph after that they would start to reel me in slowly,but in my world the race is over after 100 mph,I just wish I would have figured this out before spending a bunch more money on parts and tuning,and the best part about lining up with a riding buddy is that it is a **** load of fun and totally FREE.
I hear ya, and I am not saying I am disappointed, I wont put much more $ into performance on this bike, but I will swing by Phils guy in Texas on my way to Mesa next year, more interested in MPG and TQ. Will see what MPG is this weekend.
