Default Big bore and cam is done :)

I got a call yesterday and was told my bike is done yay lol they ran a few heat cycles with it and mounted the power vision, he asked if I wanted them to break it in on the dyno and get some numbers this way I can just ride it without having to worry about break in. I guess there is a break in mode on the dynos.
I had the s&s 106 with adjustable push rods and tw 555 cams installed on my 12 street glide and added the power vision tuner I cant wait until spring..

Let them break it in and be done with it. Then enjoy the throttle all the way home, if you decide to stop there.

Awesome let me know how you like that 106 build. Did you add MCRs or ACRs?

thanks guys, No clutch upgrade yet,I wont be picking the bike up until spring as I will probably be having some other things done to it as well,thinking of getting some black powder coating done and maybe having the front suspension done. I guess the 12's have a auto compression release on them.
I am guessing I will get about 90/105 on the dyno would love to break the 100hp but am not sure.

I'm thinking that would depend on what exhaust/intake breather you are running. Yes, you should already have ACR's. You might want to look at the AIM or maybe the Harley lock up for your clutch. Installs through your derby cover and doesn't affect clutch pull.

I doesn't affect clutch pull at idle. But sure does at 4-5K.

I've read this comment several times but I do not have any trouble shifting at 6k rpms with my variable pressure clutch at all.
I chop the throttle just as I pull in the clutch and the pull is the same as at idle IMO.
