Went and got a dyno tune (from David Crane at DC Cycles and Racing over in Red Bay, AL) on my recently installed Stage 1:
MGS True Duals
Arlen Ness Big Sucker
Power Commander V
Stock heads and cams...for the now.
Started off the day with a 100 mile run to the shop...can't beat that. Great weather for it today!
76.50 hp, 93.14 ft-lbs.
TICKLED TO DEATH.
Love these pipes. These standard baffles are loud enough for me. Nice deep rumble most of the time, but crack it open and you hear it. Can't imagine the loud baffles...!
At any rate, the scoot is dialed in now. The 100 mile return trip was a joy, and had a big cheeser on my face dang near the whole time. Thanks again to MGS and DC Cycles!!!
Uploaded a (crappy cellphone) video of the pulls. Audio is crap...it was pretty loud in there. But still pretty neat to watch it happen, if you ask me.

Congrats on the new tune! It's good to see another with a similar combo, I almost went with the MGS pipes, but decided on V&H true duals. Very similar numbers with my stage 1 upgrade (V&H true duals, SE Air Cleaner, Rinehart 4" Mufflers) ended up with 76.31 HP and 94.28 Torq. I have a graph if anyone wants to see the curves.
Dang...didn't get a baseline pull before the tuning process. I wasn't too concerned with the pre-tune numbers, just wanted the rideability (decel pop, pinging, mileage drop) fixed while maintaining the fun. Those issues were all fixed, and now I have a baseline for the inevitable cam swap.
I'll call the tuner and see if he happened to have a pre-tune run.
