Well got my 110 to 117 kit done on my 2013 CVO Road Glide bike and will pick it up later today and post the Dyno but he did say it was 118hp and 123torque, I did not do any head work other than using a 0.030 gasket, I will be doing heads in a few weeks.

Nice results. If your doing heads next it will make baseline to see what heads actually gained you.

Do a break-in  tune on a dyno with a competent  tuner! Most GOOD tuners are well aware of how to do that..ASK.How do you do a break in tune?    It will be fully broken in less than an hour then you can tune it.  You control the temperature,  very critical on a fresh build. Mine never got above 212, we stopped a couple of times to  let it cool off,hen got back after it.    You are able to control all the  variables.  That old folk lore of  HD 500 mile break in is crap. If you get caught in traffic or another situation when  you have  a fresh build and get it very  hot..It won't like it! .

 Yellow09SERG ( David)  also broke his 117 build  in the same way. We both used the same tuner.

Have to agree with you there Greg. Bike was under a controlled environment the whole break in/tune process and as temperatures changed the bike was given a rest, and as the motor broke in and as the tune was corrected the spans of time got farther apart where we needed a break.

My mechanic did that very thing...he did several heat cycles and did several runs on the dyno while controlling temps/rpms etc. so it is safe for me to ride. He still wants me to do 500 miles and bring it back for an oil change amd final dyno tweaking.  The guy has been building motors for the same dealer for decades...I trust his advice and methods.  All he does is motor builds. He has probably built thousands of motors. I see no reason to doubt him.

I use Buckmmin’s D&D Harley Davidson. I have been dealing with them since 2002 and I have used the same mechanic for engine builds. They are reasonable on pricing and offer free pickup/delivery when the weather is bad. During winter months its 20% off any parts they install...in this case the 117 kit. Labor was very reasonable at $1200 including dyno tune.

I might have posted somewhere else on this site or even on FB. I have two buddies that only will get bikes and warranty work there. I've stopped in before and it's a nice little place. Very friendly staff.

They have always treated me fair and dealt with me honestly. Same with my riding buddies and others I have talked to. It says a lot in this day and age.

X-2 , having a good relationship with a dealer that treats you right i worth a lot. Sometimes in the summer I'll stop and buy a case of beer, put it in the tour pack then tell them it's got a hell of a rattle in the tour pack...the boys find that rattle in a hurry...they will appreciate that and a little  happy money to you tech never hurts.

Like I tell them, I probably drive you nuts..but I pay good..lol

I finally got a chance to ride the beast😄 wow the power difference is huge! It feels the same off idle and then revs so much faster. I slammed the rev limiter yesterday lol. Very rideable and controlled, if you want more it’s there quick but still very tame when wanted.
