I bought a '11 Road Glide Custom with a 96". I'm going to install some rinehart true duals with 4" mufflers, SE air cleaner and a download from the dealer. What #'s can I expect? Dealer is guessing 75-78 hp. Sound right?
I've done some searching but can't find an exact answer. Thanks!

Your still kind new here.....you actually think people read the posts before giving you their gospel opinion?
Anyhoo.... the dealer is close and yes it will always be a guess. Take 5 motors and do the exact same mods to each.... you will get 5 different results.
Bottom line.........
96 stock innards...... SE intake... opened up exhaust.....you didn't say, but I'm guessing stage 1 download...... you will notice a significant power gain.
And if anyone tells you, you should have gone with the 103...... just say 96 is like 69....... just better

*** Well then, guess that must mean a 103 is like a 301. Yeah, I like that!

I read it, sometimes ya just gotta have some fun!!
things get too serious around heren sometimes, motorcycles, the lifestyle, and everything about it should be fun, so sometimes I like to throw a little humor in a question that isn't too serious. lets face it you already bought it because you liked it, whether it has 5hp or 500hp right, wanting to know that number is logical, but not so important as to find a little humor along the way!! all in respect, and with greatest sincereity

Don't be too concerned with the exact #'s because they can vary from one dyno to another. Just figure you'll get about a 15% increase in power which isn't a huge difference but it is noticeable.
