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.Hey Tom, welcome to the forum and I would love to hook up with you some time. JC is right i usually ride at least 1 day each weekend though my goal is to ride both weekend days and hopefully we can meet!
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
