Sooo, your bike will become a Street King, or King of the Street? Maybe both! Usually mine has plenty of power stock, but we have a 6-7% grade nearby, thats about 3 miles long. I can pull it at 70-75 in 6th gear, but twisting the throttle more, just makes a lot more noise. I could always downshift I guess, lol
Seriously, I love the low end torque of these bikes. I live very rural, and the road has more curves than Marilyn Monroe. Many with 35 mph signs, and I can leave my dirt road, and work up to 5th gear and stay there the entire curvy 5 miles to the first stop sign. Speeds ranging from 40-60 mph. Thats really pretty hard to beat.
Where is your engine set up for the most power, high or low? What kind of power was the before and after numbers? I assume your bike was a 96 cu in?

I have a young family and a demanding job (I work for Dell) and don't have much free time for touring, so all my riding is around NorCal's spectacular coastal and canyon back rounds, lots of elevation changes and curves.
Here are the results. I was running a canned FM base tune with the 96" & 555 cams...

Wow I love that torque curve. Even the first tick on the HP and TQ numbers started off considerably higher than before. I wonder how far apart those starting numbers would be from a stage 1 Rushmore 103?
Yes we have some fantastic scenery, and riding opportunities here in this state, makes the rest of it tolerable, mostly. Just have to keep focused on whats important in life and stick to that. I can see tour riding style, or at least choices of scenery is similar to mine, and that bottom end power is every bit as important as the top end, if not more so. But the HP curve does not even start to drop till after 6,000 rpm, but I can see the ideal shift point at around 4500, for when you really want to get up to speed.

I like that it's over 100 ft/lbs before 2500 rpm. And it's only a 107. Did you have them do the throttle body also?
