Seems after a talk with the original owner I was misled by the dealer...so while I have a dyno sheet with 118hp/120tq he does not know exactly what is in the motor. and I am a little mad at the selling dealer. he gave me a $100.00 gift card to try an smooth it over...I thought I had a new topend at the very least. The bike runs very well and overall I feel this is a good bike very well taken care of.

I don't want to get into bashing a dealer online I just wanted to come clean on this with what I know now an Happy 4th to all. it's been a busy fun week. I'm a new guy so and I post it here trying to straighten out my story. Dan

Dan,

Welcome. As you read more posts, you will find out that we, the customers and owners often know more about the bikes than the salesmen. Two months ago I was at San Jose HD to pick up some parts. I saw in the used section an '06 CVO Ultra like mine. The salesman came over and we talked. He swore it had the 110. I told him the 110s didn't come out until '07. He said ALL CVOs had 110s. I had to walk away.

Topic change. Are you available for a nice long ride? It would be great if you could join us for the CVO Get Together in Cody/Yellowstone. Invite your other friends who ride too. The dates are Sept 3-8. You will find more details in the "Events" section of this forum.

I have had many of those conversations with HD Salesmen over the years. 90% of them have zero product knowledge and or denial about the 110 issues. I gave up trying to educate them. Walk away is best as you say.

an easy way for them to make it up to you is to install the 117 Kit on their tab!

Do you have it in writing that the bike has the 117" kit?  If so, it should be easy to have a frank discussion about what they need to do to make it right.

I agree with this, if they advertised it and sold it as a 117, they need to make it right.

118hp/120tq are not factory 110 numbers, and if it was worked w/585s and 10.6 pistons, even that would come in lower than those numbers. So, besides all the he said she said, how do you know you don't have a 117 kit on it?

The dealer might strip out whatever you have and install you a nice new 117 kit and you'll have a motor with numbers lower than you already have.

I assume you test rode the bike.  since you bought the bike, I also assume that you were happy with the performance during said test ride.  now, would it really matter if the bike were a 117, or even a 103 if the performance made you smile?

doesn't the original owner know what was done to the bike?

since the dealer gave you a $100 gift card, I would be happy and move on.  after all, like Coloradotom said, you might end up with a motor that has the size number you want, that doesn't perform as well as what you have now.

120 / 129 are my numbers with a 117"kit, full V&H plus Dyno.

[Toofast_28]

Maybe the solution here is to have them dyno it and see what it really has?

[07CVOEG]

All good points.  1st nothing in the written advertizing 117.
2nd I bought the bike because it runs well an better than what I have experience with.

I want to learn about my bike an work on making it the way I want it. the problems the 07 110 has I thought would be addressed by now or at least I hope. it has 55k on it. an about 15k since last work done by roaders. I will ride it until something shows up an fix it when it does. I really do not know what we a talking about other than lifters being a problem for some. wife has an 08 softail with 45k on it an it's a great bike. it has the compensator noise from time to time. primary oil looks good no real metal on magnet.  so hopefully I'll pick up some knowledge here an enjoy life. I'll try an upload a pic here see how that goes

I may not be a smart man but that dyno sheet doesn't say squat on the actual bike tested, just the results and atmospheric conditions.  Most of the ones I've seen here on the site and on previous bikes show all of the information yours does including what bike, modification, VIN, etc.  You do want to trust the dealer/seller and it sounds like you are pleased with the power on your bike but you also want to know WHAT you have in modifications and corresponding paperwork supporting those facts.  When you go to sell or trade down the road, the next dealer/owner will want it as well.

[JoeVibe]

Maybe I missed it but have you called Roeder to ask them what they know about your bike?

Like the others have said. If you're happy with the performance what difference does it make? Get the bike dynoed again to verify the results and give you some peace of mind and then just have fun with it. 118/120 makes for a fun ride regardless of how may CI get you there!

Haird it's good to see this must be a tolerant site, and I agree the sheet could be for any bike...I believe the PO did have some work done and we have exchanged # he has given me some things that came with the bike and over all seemed to be OK and not to concerned about  details. my loss here unless we talk some more. I'm inclined to just ride it and enjoy and if it ever becomes necessary I'll do the work and will know what I have.

I would think it has a better cam in it by the graph,,,,better more experienced eye might tell me more or otherwise.

I have come to terms with it it is what it is I don't need proof or any more #'s . maybe a call to roaders would get the info but gee that sounds like a well I hope they would be helpful.

Sitting in Cody Wy myself right now. Heading for Red Lodge Mt in the morning through the pass. Business of course, needed to put some 90 MPH miles on the MX Pipe.

This ride is Highly recommended, you will meet some awesome people!
