One thing to consider is that he is living at altitude here and his numbers will be down a few from what you guys get at sea level. Congrats on the "new" scooter.
The dyno readout should correct for altitude.
I'd say the results look good and are where they should be.

The stock numbers for this bike are depressing. 63.9 hp and 82.7tq, yuck. I am still use to my vtx1800 which went like a freight train. Oh well, I keep telling myself that I bought this bike to go deep into the motor. 124 kit here I come...

well i had a yamaha warrior prior to this and find the 96" with a stage 1 to be --not too bad at all. you will not have to go very deep into the motor to out perform a VTX, a 103" build would certainly do the trick and a 107" would absolutely dust that pig,,,,,,,plus no comparison for handling. The VTX has a big mill but its not tuned in for chit
I know nothing about the tuner and the dyno. I thought the dyno was just running some tests on the bikes? Isn't it the case? Is it more than that???

Voony, the dyno can just give you power numbers if that's all you want. It can also be used as a tuning tool by reading the air fuel ratio, monitoring horse power/torque and more. While making the runs the operator can make changes to the map to dial the bike in for optimum performance.

Before I go to deep here I just want to say that I traded in a VTX and a CBR for this HD, so I jumped in both feet first...
However, the VTX I had with its own "stage 1" kit was pretty quick for a pig. Mine was diled in, period. And I found it pretty tolerable to lean as deep into curves as I wanted to at any speed. Two front disk breaks and you have a pretty good recipie on your hands.
At the end of the day though it was still a honda, and I was limited to the 110 motor as just about no one made aftermaket motor upgrades for it. Plus there was plastic on it, and a big ugly radiator up front.
I have one thing now that I didnt have a tremedous amount of with the VTX, and thats pride of owenership.
Ah, Ill get this Wide Glide to how I want it soon enough...
