Dyno pulls I’ve done

I’m going to try and continue to post to this thread as I tune bikes at work. The goal of this is to show what numbers I’m getting out of what combinations here in Texas. Not saying I’m the be all, end all of tuners, just want to share with everyone. Most of the time, here lately, because of the extreme heat, I’ve been going in around 6am to tune. These are all done with a Dynojet chassis dyno and power vision maps / tuners. None of these graphs I post will be Screamin Eagle street tuners, Thundermax or TTS, unless noted. I try to put text in each pic so you know the combination used. They won’t only be Road Glides and some I don’t remember all the parts I use. If I say “Harley 131 kit” and don’t list anything specific, then it’s just as the kit comes. I will make it a point to highlight what parts I do change.

I hope everyone enjoys this and feel free to ask questions. I’ll do my best to answer / remember the bikes. Lol.

This is not to throw shade on any company or to start an argument, simply a graphic example that I want to share. This is a full pull on a base map in a bike with a big bore kit, cam, bigger throttlebody, bigger injectors and full exhaust. I only posted to show that while base maps will get you close and rideable, it’s not the safe thing for the longevity and health of you hard earned money and engine. This is to also graphically show how important a full dyno tune is to your investment.

As a point of reference, this is the bike from post #292. https://www.roadglide.org/threads/dyno-pulls-i’ve-done.394901/page-15#post-5030234

So please correct me if I am wrong, but that is running VERY lean...Correct?

@RFG7680 Cool. Hopefully the bike will be done by then. Still not sure on timing of painter or wheel/tire set. If Rolando can't find me wheels that will arrive in time, I may have to just stick to the wires for now. I should be able to be there and ride Monday and travel on Tuesday.

Customer bike that I was finally able to finish.
2013 FLHX 103. Now it’s a 117 with flowed heads, HPI 58mm TB, 5.3 inj, high flow AC, SE585 cams and a Bassani full length 2-into-1

I have never made this much torque with a Twin Cam before. Surprised the hell out of me. Lol

For those asking; this is brand new, completely stock 2024 CVO RGST. I did Track mode and Sport mode. Both had traction control turned off and both pulled until it hit the limiter.

Customer brought me his Apex RKS that he tried to do his own cam install on. Cam bearing grenaded during install and went in the case. That’s when it came to me. Had to pull the case, split it and clean it. He decided while it was apart to make it a 128” with Wood 22XD cam, 64mm TB, 5.5 injectors, Fuelmoto headpipe and BMF air filter and Khromewerks mufflers. I put a louvered baffle in the right side only to combat the lower rpm torque dip.

2021 CVO Road Glide, 132”, Andrews 485, 64mm TB and manifold, 5.5 injectors, extreme wedge air cleaner, Khromewerks 2-1-2 with their slip ons and a louvered baffle in the right side muffler only.

I notice lots of 5.5 inj with just a cam

would I get more tune with 5.5 and my 468 cam ? Never had it dyno tuned just fuel moto tune

You don’t NEED 5.5s with just a cam but upgrading them can’t hurt. If we have a customer that wants the upgraded aluminum manifold, I suggest upgrading the injectors and most people agree to it. I would also recommend a dyno tune. If you look back a handful of posts in this thread, you’ll see where I posted a canned tune and how lean it was.

When the first numbers on the first base run showed on the screen, I was in total awe. Not a good tune, but amazing numbers. With upgraded brakes and suspension to go with the beast that @crazy4ink Murph built, it should be a total hoot to ride. My 2023 FLTRXSE had more power (I think) than my never-was-right 2011 FLTRU with Stage 4 kit. These guys don't play when it comes to power. Landon showed me a video of a 280 hp Street Glide. I can't even imagine riding that, nor do I want that.

Customer’s bike from this morning. 2023 RGST 117, Andrews 485, 64mm TB, 5.5 injectors, stock little 90° air cleaner and a KW 2-1. There is no more in this engine unless the customer lets me upgrade the air cleaner to get more volume in those heads, but it’s still very good numbers and he should be happy.
 
#358 ·
damn.
seeing these numbers out of a 117 is making my wallet nervous. haven't gone to ride the '24s yet because last time i did a test drive i drove it home lol.
were there any other modifications done to the drivetrain, Murph?
my 124 is happy with the extra plate clutch and belt drive.
how much more would there be with the AC???

Perfect example of a customer choosing the “dyna bro” look over more performance. He is leaving at least 8/5 on the table by sticking with the small air cleaner and shorter 2-1 pipe. But, it’s still a blast to ride. Lol.

Customer’s FLTRX 131. All stock 131 kit with a KW 2-1-2 headpipe and KW mufflers. Blue is the base map and red is after tuning. No physical parts changes at all.

That’s just wild. Thats proof right there the importance of a good tune. What you didn’t show too was you flattened the AFR line.

Customer’s bike from today. He already had the Harley torque cam and street tuner. Replaced it with an Andrews 485, installed a 64mm TB and manifold and 5.5 injectors. Tuned out really nice and customer was all smiles.

One from today. Andrews 465 cam, extreme ventilator and some unknown brand 2-into-1 exhaust. The exhaust really surprised me; didn’t know what to expect.
