The print out didnt have an afr read out on it, after I have them run it or re-tune it with the new air filter on it I am going to tell them I want to see the afr also.

Good luck Stroken. Obviously you put a solid package together with parts designed to work together. I'm sure the additional power will be discovered with a solid tune. It's not far off. Those TBW bikes just don't make the numbers the cable bikes do. Still, I bet it's a blast to ride.

IDS bikes have a much higher rotational mass on the rear wheel and that makes Dynojet dynos think that the bike has less power.
People blame the TBW but it was introduced at the same time as the IDS and the TBW gets the blame.
TBW bikes are no slower on the road, its just a dynojet thing.
What do you think??

His #'s seem to be right around where all the other 107" tbw builds are at.

I have a theory on that - its not the TBW but the IDS that "robs" power.

Every tuner thats worth his own weight will tell you that the tbw bikes make less power. NOBODY knows the exact cause. Some say its the tbw, others say its a combination of the tbw, software within the ecm that can not be touched and or the extra drag from the 6 speed.

Like I said, I'm sure the bike is a blast to ride whether you get that last 3-5 hp/tq out of it or not.

Anyone with a quality build like a Hillside shouldnt loose any sleep about what happens on the dyno, just get out there on the road and enjoy passing those with SE builds....

Exactly. Dynojet numbers are +-15% on a good day anyhow. The best dyno is still a 1/4 mile strip.
