One of the things I respect about John Golden is that he tunes motors for the street. I would imagine he could bump those numbers up a bit, but you'd be running with a lot more advance on your timing which would make your motor run hot. I think those are great numbers for the little you've done. Can't imagine why you wouldn't be happy as far as seat of your pants feel goes. The whole idea of dyno tuning your bike is to get it to run optimally for however you have it set up. The numbers are not intended to be used for bragging rights since they are not really a reflection of what the bike will do on the street. Hp, tourque and elapsed time all factor into how well a bike runs on the street.Power to weight ratio. Your bike is gonna dust a bagger with the same dyno numbers. V-girl weighing in at 120lbs on her SEVROD with 120hp/108TQ should have the fastest bike on this website.(talking H-D here) Especially with a 10,000 RPM redline. But can she get all that power on the road ? Or sit and spin her rear wheel or do wheelies off the line.So you've got riding ability involved. My bro Beags can hustle an 88 down the road so well you'd swear he was ridin a 95 or better. At the end of the day, set up your bike for what makes you happy and what feels and works right for the combination of your skills, weight and style of bike. Don't stress on the dyno chart too much. If you decide to do more than what you've done, be sure the mods fit in with your riding style. Talk to your tech. More is not always better.
