Just an observation, but it seems like my 96" 2010 RG with a stage 1 (A/C kit, V&H Duals and TTS) pulls almost the exact numbers (72 HP, 85TQ) as the stock 103". Sound about right?

Sorry;I misread the part about completely stock. I assumed you were doing a stage 1.

But 1 question--Why do a dyno run on a stock bike? IMHO a waste of kablingy, and unecessary stress on the motor. Hell, I ain't even gonna let 'em do a dyno run when I do my tune, unless after the tune the bike runs like crap.

If you are doing it to compare stock VS a tune, they should automatically do a stock run right before they do the tune. Always have with mine, and no extra charge;it's part of the tune package.

Dyno runs done properly do not stress your motor any more then riding it does. I think it is a great idea to get a base for every step. Every motor and every dyno is different so it would be nice to run your bike on the same dyno and see what gains a person has made by upgrading. Individual bike box stock can have a wide varience on power so unless you actaully dyno your own while in stock state you won't know what kind of gains you really made. For those who think it is a waste of money I would not susggest they do it but if you really want to know why not? It is like $25-40 to get a base run.

i'm not the one having the run done. I was jsut commenting that a dyno pull doesn't cost 700 bucks

I guess he just wants to see what he's gaining for each stage of his upgrades. How can they not do a dyno run when they do your tune? Unless you have a carbed bike and it gets "tuned" in a parking lot the old school way they'll have to do a dyno run.

If you are doing it to compare stock VS a tune, they should automatically do a stock run right before they do the tune. Always have with mine, and no extra charge;it's part of the tune package.
Yep, that would be the case, but, if he takes it in for a stage I (or more) install, I doubt the shop would take the time to hook the bike up and run it then take it off the dyno, install the parts then hook it up again. That wouldn't be cost inductive for the shop.

It's his money, apparently it's worth the cash for him to have a stock pull done on it before he makes any changes.
