My bike hauls ***, this winter I'm going to do the 49T ring gear that Evolution sells and I think I'm going to be happy with this combo for quite a while.
I don't think the Harley 103" kit is that impressive for what it costs, it only gets a little more torque than my set up and usually less HP.
jag I know your bike runs good and all but I think your leaving a little on the table as well, that afr line could be cleaned up alot and I'll bet more suds could be pulled out of that puppy and you'd be even happier, not bashing you just making a observation.

WVULTRA, is this dyno chart your bike? could you tell me a little more about the bike like is it a 96" or 103" is it a CVO? and what parts exactly did you use for the build?

I am doing some research on the upgrade that I want to do, and that chart is reaaaly impressive!

Thanks.

No crap! There is only 1 dyno within 500 miles of where I live and the dyno guy thinks he's a GOD and is a bid of a pain in the *** to deal with. Someday I'll take a trip up to Portland and I will make an apointyment with Latus Harley and have them tune it AGAIN.

WVULTRA That dyno chart you posted was freaking awesome --> can you please tell us what bike, parts, BB, etc etc.

It says FLHX so I'm assuming its not your bike?

No, it's not my bike.....and yes, it's an '07 FLHX with an SE Stage II 103 BB, 255 cams, .030" Head Gasket and no head work.

Some claim Frazier's has a "happy" dyno; but the guy that own's the bike said the numbers are what they are.

He was a repeat customer with this Tech, and was absolutely pleased with the results.

Numbers are simply that: numbers! But the fun factor is what counts........IMO.........

Yes I agree, there is so much more to a dyno than just peak numbers......

The TQ curve on that chart is exactly what I would want if I was doing a 103" BB build. Very nice for an SE 103" BB with no head work!!
