I have never had a bike dyno'ed before. Republic HD in Sugar Land, TX was doing free dyno runs today... I had a SE255 put in last year, and got a Power Vision from Fuel Moto (and a map from them).... Since then I've changed pipes and air cleaner, but always just ran auto-tunes.
Bike has always ran well, but I never knew what kind of TQ or HP I was putting out.... When I saw the free dyno, I ran down there :-)
I don't think my bike did too bad. Sometimes I want more, but that's just life I guess.... Maybe when I pay it off, I'll put in a 124" or a 131" or whatever is out then
Thanks. My gut tells me starting with Jamie's map, then running a couple auto tunes, that she's dialed in pretty good.
What I really wanted was a baseline of where I'm at - that way when I look at FM dynos and stuff, I'll know where I am, and see if it's worth the $$$ - maybe one day when its paid off, I'll find a S&S 124 for a good deal.
Does that torque not peak a little "late" for running the 255's?
They typically run a little more linear and the peak appears around 1 k sooner, or is that just the way the operator runs the dyno ?

I'm getting by with an S&S 107" at present, but a 124? That would be just great one day. They now do it with slightly lower CR and the 585 cam, which gives good results in a loaded dresser.

I really don't know. Looks like for me, the peak runs 3500-4000.... I'll go look through the bagger dynos, see where other's are peaking.
