Title: New Member in San Diego, CA
Post by: TomBolt16CVO on April 07, 2018, 02:01:37 PM
New member here to the forum living and riding in beautiful San Diego, CA.  Like most of you before you join, I've been reading the CVO Harley forum as a guest since I bought my bike 2 years ago.  I owe countless good decisions to the wealth of knowledge and information on this site.  So, a BIG thank you to all members.  You all are great!  To much is given, much is expected.  So, I'll contribute where I can to give back.  I'm not a mechanic nor am I mechanically inclined, but I've learned to turn a wrench a little in the last couple years.

I mostly ride locally in the San Diego County back roads, but I tour 1-2 times per year at least.  My bide has over 11,500 miles on it now and with the recent dyno tune, is really feeling like a CVO should -- quick and nimble.  What have I done to my bike from a performance point of view?  Not much really.  Put a set of Vance & Hines power duals with the high output mufflers.  Changes the air filter element to a K&N and that's it.  Recently, the bike was not feeling very responsive so I did a lot of local research and found a great tuner at Performance Choppers in El Cajon, CA -- Mikey!  He's the best.  With this set up he got 106.50 hp with 126.03 lb/ft of torque.  it's pretty snappy now in all gears.   :apple:  I'll post the Dynojet results below.

Big shout out and a big thank you once again to all the members here who've provided the information to help me make what I hope are good decisions.  So far so good!

Tom

Welcome to the board.  I retired in San Diego last Sept. but now travel full time in our RV toyhauler.

Alan (SDCVO) may chime in here soon.......he's always up for a ride and usually rides at least one day, every weekend.

Welcome Tom!  I'm in San Diego too!

What unit did you use for the Dyno?  Power Commander?  I'm at 35K miles with the last dyno being done at about 5k with the (now illegal) Pro Tuner. If I remember correctly I'm at 97.2HP with 102TQ. Would love to get a little more pep out of my bike!

Impressive numbers!!!

Welcome from Stockbridge, GA. I was stationed in San Diego several different times during my 32 years in the US Navy and loved every minute! Soon to retire from my 2nd career and move to Florida, probably around St. Augustine.
