Just to clarify things...my achievements are merely claims at this point.

We'll call them real when (if) i post the vid

Maybe it's my svelt 230lb figure that allows my bike to run good...or maybe it's just the Susie tank that does the trick...

I have read all sorts of numbers.I've seen the SOHC's rated anywhere from 67-72hp. I keep seeing 78hp for the DOHC. According to my math (which could very well be flawed.If you have a 67hpSOHC and install an836 kit it would probably bump power to around the 78hp mark.Factory hp rating numbers are usually either inflated or sand bagged.Who knows really. There is a chassis dyno nearby that I can get on for $50 and hour.provided i do my own tuning.Tuning costs more.Thats cool...dont touch my bike anyways! I plan on getting some numbers one day to see whats really up.
