Default Dropped my bike off to have it dyno tuned

Dropped it off this afternoon to get it dyno tuned since it has never been done since all of the engine work. (95in. big bore kit, se204 cams, Vance and Hines Big Shots). I get a call from the service writer, "We put your bike on the Dyno and when we went to make the first pull the throttle cable snapped. Great. Oh well, Its just money.

at least it didn't break on you cruising down the Gulf Freeway or on the SeaWall.

I was also thankful it broke there and not on the highway.

It ended up making 87HP and 92 torque. ill have to figure out my scanner and i will post pictures of the Dyno graphs. Im Very happy with the bike. Before any tuning it only made 73hp and it ran great like that. The bike would keep up with my dad's 100+hp street glide. It runs like a scalded dog now and im very happy with it now. It was running lean in the upper rpm's and my tuner was surprised i havent burned the motor up. anyway i will post pictures whenever i figure out my scanner.

Sorry, did you say something about something being broke? I was staring at your avatar.

Got free dyno runs today with a stock 95 2010 FAT BOY. It is 70.83 hp and 85.44 torque. Seems like you should have a bit more.

What did the tune cost (aside from the snapped cable), if you don't mind me asking?
