Default 2015 48 before and after cosmetic and motor work with dyno

Hello all,

its been almost a year now that I have left the sports bike world and got my first Harley. I have been having fun with something new and learning about the bike.


Here are a few photos from when I first got it






I was having a hard time deciding how I wanted my bike to look so I started with a motor build. I powder coated the motor flat and gloss black and used the parts below

Revolution kit 1250cc
cams 551.
Lift part# 25197-04
Tappets part#18572-13
throttle body part #27200026
air box # 29400227
injectors 27609-01B

Hipster checklist:

manbun-check

distressed skinny jeans tucked into boots-check

flannel shirt-check

Oh how the typical Harley rider has changed over the years.

Nice dyno, you do the engine work yourself?

Nice dyno, you do the engine work yourself?
don't stereotype lol I'm not that much of a hipster.

I did not do the motor work myself I had help.

and what exactly is a "Harley rider"?

I want to lighten my bike up, does anyone know the weight of the stock spoked wheels or what else on the bike may be heavy?
