well I may not know what dyno means...I may be going off the crank instead of an actual dyno...if dyno means to the wheels...al I want is a 85 total generated not necessarily delivered and 100 total torque qhich i believe it starts at 98 stock..that said does dyno mean delivered i just asked the dealer if i could get 85 horses n 100 torque so we may be talking apples and oranges

 

Or you could just trade your bike in for a Harley Night Rod!! 125 hp STOCK!!! And that bike is cheaper then your Lo so you wont take a hit! LOL.. just an idea!

 

nah I am going for a long haul upright feet way forward ride not a halfbreed sportbike cruiser, just always thought that harley would have more power not less than the competition

 

I kinda want my bike to be a motorcycle version of good ol American muscle reminiscent of the 60s/70s, I cant find stock dyno horsepower for 2012 fatboy lo anywhere to get a baseline

 

Sorry, but you're not even going to be close, even if you had cams. I've got a good Stage 1 set-up with woods cams, and had it tuned by Jamie at fuelmoto (a sponsor on this forum and a very respected dyno-tuner and builder), and I have 90 HP and 104 TQ. I'm guessing that you'll be around 75 HP and 90 TQ with your Stage 1 set-up.

 

Ya i hear ya trust me! But the sad truth is the air cooled harleys are not for folks looking for performance! I too as you know would love to turn my 2012 Lo something with more performance. But these bike are made more for style and noise and comfort more then performance! And theres nothing wrong with that its just it is what it is.. I will say unlike you tho i do like the new 2012 Night rod. I love the fat rear wheel and the design of the bike and for a Muscle cruiser its got pretty good performance better then the previous year. And if i had the money i would own both!

 

Nope. I just had my 2012 Lo dyno tuned and only came out with 75 hp 95 ft/lbs. I have V&H Big Radius 2-2 and the Screamin Eagle Heavy Breather.

 

You could on a real "happy" dyno....in real numbers I don't see it

 

so 75 hp at the wheel and 95 torque at the wheel is great I just rerad what dyno actually means and I was hoping for 100/100 from the "crank if memory serves" like how the bike says 98 torque factory...so if I can run actual 75 hp to the wheels and have 95 torque I will be a lil above the performance of the muscle cars of the past. Hell by weight and factory specs these things already come out a lil above the 2012 mustang gt which is 312 hp and 3603 weight "cant recall the torque" but dividing the weight of the car by the torque and hp harley stock from crank beats it in terms of how many pounds each hp or pound of torque is moving and I am guessing we start off with about 80ish crank hp and 98 crank torque so I am factory almost where I wanna be...wow knowledge is nice to have just wish harley hp was not so secretive would have made things a whole lot easier but I think I will love this bike and if it ever feels slow I still will have lots of room to move up!!!

 

Gonna have to spend more money to get 100/100
