I bought a used 06 road king ( carbed). Had it put on the dyno and it ran 76 hp and 80 ft lb torque. The dealer said that they didn't know if it had been punched to a 95 in or had head work done. My question : is it possible to run those numbers with just a head job? And how can I tell?
I have a '06 Ultra. I have stage 1 AC, Jackpot slip-ons and Andrews 26G cams with a Power Comander III usb. Mine dynoed at 78 hp. and 84 tq. Yours could have an aftermarket cam as well.
