... and I am very pleased - I think? What do you make of this?

I have VBAK, PCIII (now with Custom Map), V&H Big Shots and a 260 Rear Wheel (which loses you some beans over the standard 210)

Dyno Results are 83.88BHP at the Wheel and 108.77Lbs Torque at the Wheel - from my time on sport/naked bikes you need to add something like 10-12% to the rear wheel figure to get the Crank figure.

Riding it is a dream, there's much more pick up off the low end, it's a lot less 'flobbery' low down, and it's smooth as a freshly shorn chuff all way up. It's a lot less 'peaky' on the throttle, and definitely quicker in the 20mph-90mph zone.

Am not sure if these results are what  should expect or if they are inline with others who have had this done. But whatever the data points, the bike is a rocket ship in the areas I want it, it's a lot smoother across the range, and it pulls noticably harder in 3rd and 4th.

I think the custom paint when I get it done will make it faster too. Maybe. Probably. That's what Meanstreak told me anyhow.

I have the 33 tooth front pulley, stock size rear wheel and a members map. Other than that I have the same setup and dynoed at 78 HP. I'm not confident the mechanic knew what he was doing, since I did,nt get any tourque numbers and when I asked they gave me a deer in the headlights look. Your numbers sound pretty good.

I need to find a better shop and get a custom map.

sound like some good numbers, i got a pcIII,churchkey vbak and street sweepers and it got 83hp and 102 ft/lbs with a custom map

Those numbers look fine Gibbsy. I was getting around 86 BHP and 110 ft/lbs torque with a similar setup and a standard rear wheel.
