Default Cycle Doctor dyno tune!

I've been riding my 2008 Street Glide for 22900 miles with a Vance and Hines fuel pack.
I didn't know how bad it was running.The Cycle Doctor in Costa Mesa, ca. dyno tuned my bike and from the moment I left his shop I felt an amazing improvement in performance!
No decel popping,it feels smoother,responds quicker,sounds better and has more power from idle on up!
I have Vance and Hines true duals with Bassani up slash 4" mufflers and a Screaming eagle heavy breather. It now puts out 77.25 h.p. and 90.05 pounds of torque!
Happy,happy!!

You should also see some improvement in mileage.

I had my 09 Streetglide done by Cycle Doctor also. Ended up with 78.59 h.p and 93.72 pounds of torque. Not huge numbers, but I'm very happy with the results. Geoff and his crew are outstanding to deal with. I installed 255 cams, Vance and Hines monster ovals, and a heavy breather.

You're right Shagnasty,I bet it will,the real reason I had it tuned was to cool it down for those hot summer rides!

If you have the correct set up in the Fuel Pack, there should have been no decel popping. I'm running one on my '09 SG and have no complaints. Would a PCV and a dyno tune make any bike run better, probably yes, but for now, I'm a happy Fuel Pack user.

I had very little decel popping, but couldn't get rid of all of it.I really was happy with the way it ran,till I had it tuned by an expert.Dynos aren't for everyone,for the price it's the most inexpensive performance improvement I've ever puchased!!!

Geoff really knows tuning - I get a huge grin every ride since he dyno'd mine!

Geoff is one of the best in the country. His reputation precedes him.
