[/B]Had it on the Dyno for the second time. I pulled Max Power of 80.20 HP and what I think is a more impressive 83.41 Max Torque. This was an improvement over my last run of 71.46 HP and 75.43 Torque. I have struggled to post the Graph as it is saying the file is too large. (Asked one of my kids to help sometime this week.) If you get Cycle World or Motor Cyclist and start looking at the HP and Torque number based at the rear wheel for bikes, I feel pretty good about the torque my bike is making. For the kind of riding I do 80% of the time, when I am at 3000 rpm's and up I am a freight train up untill 6,000 rpm's. By 6,000 rpm's I am well past any kind of state imposed speed limit. The gearing in gear box for the 883 is perfect for this setup as I believe it is a little lower in 5th gear as compared to a 1200 XL.
The last bump in HP was a change from Screamin Eagle Pro Slip Fit 2 into 1 pipes to Hard-Krome 2 into 1 Xccelerators. They not only perform, they have great looks and are non blueing. The HD Screamin Eagles exhaust, I think are a V & H product. They are restrictive and suck. I feel somewhat bad about selling them on Ebay; however, I am sure he thought they were a great deal.
My Parts List:
Buell Factory Lightning Heads, HD 1200 Pistons/Jugs/Rings, SE Performance Ignition, Mikuni 42MM Flatslide Carb, Manifold and Tuners Kit, SE Cams .497 lift-256 duration bolt in and a SE Air Cleaner.
My parts and suggestions came from Tim Farrell at Illinois Harley-Davidson, and my wrench-technical guru is my brother in law, Jerry Westhouse of Newman Hass Racing. (Jerry is Mr. Ice to those who Ice Race in the Chicago-WI areas) He knows HD's and most things about most bikes in addition to being a fabricator without any equal. (If it can be made, fabricated or invented, he is the man.)
I wanted to thank these guys as they get the credit for a solid package that is doing what I wanted. Thanks Holt
