The air cleaner only added 1 HP and no more TQ.
I think his biggest issues are:
Pipe Selection (Rinehart Duals)
Tuner Selection (HD Dealership)

He and I are talking about taking our bikes to Indiana for a tune.

I also have a new 107" in my RG...HQ build.

You can run the Fat Cat with a 131 and gobs more power and torque than your currently running!

So what did happen?

Doc,
"Stroken" is a friend of mine.
The AC change only gave him 1hp more and no more tq.
I tried like hell to get him to change his exhaust, he won't listen.

I didnt expect it to do much, the 1 HP was nothing more than beng dynod on a different day!

I can not aggree with that. I saw them on bikes before and looked quite impressive to me. (and NO, I am not gay). LOL Ghost pipe will definately satisfy the "Nostalgic" craving, and fills the awkward void very well on a bagger. You have to get your nose way up there, to even know it's fake.

Nostalgic? The only thing nostalgic about dual pipes is that they've come on every rubber mount bagger made since the MID 80's!

Thats NOT nostalgia, thats just following the *** of the sheep in front of you!

Badpiggy.....I am in Memphis and have been carrying our bikes to rods performance in Hanceville, Al(outside of Birmingham). He does an excellent job of tuning and building big bore motors. I imagine that would be quite a bit closer for you guys. I just got back yesterday from picking up my 113 fatbob that he built (it needed some tuning and fix some clutch issues) and he is currently building a 113 for a cvo springer I have as well. Just a suggestion. rodsperformance.com He use to tune the factory Buell race bikes.
