Default 2007 FLHTCU Performance increase

I just installed Rinehart Slip-ons and SE High Perf Air filter kit on my '07 with 16k miles, had the bike Dyno'd and ECM remapped at local dealership. If I'm reading the Dyno print-out correctly I increased HP from 66.89 to 75.79 (8.9 hp gain) and torque from 78.55 to 87.02 @3500rpm (8.47 ft lb gain). I found specs for '07 FLHTCU online indicating stock performance was 92.6 ft lbs torque @ 3500 RPM. I'm guessing the 16k mileage on the engine was the culprit decreasing my torque from indicate 92.6 to 78.55. Depressing that my $ investment didn't even restore my torque to the original 92.6 ft lbs. Oh well, I love the way it sounds, accelerates and plains out on the hiway. Your thoughts on the numbers? Thanks.

That 92.6 ft lbs is NOT measured at the rear wheel. The dyno # is. Different dynos give different results. The main thing is you picked up a decent power increase. Go ride.

I think HD post numbers at the crank and not the rear wheel like your dyno print shows. Your probably well over stock cheer up ride it who cares about a numbet!

Thanks for the replies and knowledge. Don't get me wrong, I'm HAPPY with the results. Just needed a bit of help with the numbers. Thanks again.

As has already been suggested, don't give any credence to HD performance specs. Your numbers look good.
