If all you have added is the exhaust you may have about 80hp and 100ftlbs of torque

 

NICE BIKE GUNNY--HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT SEAT? WELL HOW DOES YOUR PASSENGER LIKE IT?

 

The seat took some getting used to but know I love it. My girlfriend likes it to.

 

Girlfriend?!? You sure are getting better now aren't you!?

 

He is riding a 97 wide glide and pokin' fun at you?
Poke him in the eye and say "catch me if you can"
Gunny is on the money, I have V&H bigshots and it dynoed at 80hp 101tq

 

GottaHaveOne took the words right outta my mouth.

 

GottaH1 & JDpark,
True....so true

 

Stock to stock, You've got him by about 20% more HP and Torq

 

WIDE GLIDE....... HEHEHEHEHEHAHAHAHAHAHAHOHOHOHOHO... Your killing me. You can pass that on to your buddy.

 

These bikes vary so much in stock form, even people with the same mods end up with different hp & tq #'s. I've heard of anywere from 73 to 80 hp and 96 to 103 tq on stock bikes. Luck of the draw I guess. Only way to find out for sure is have it dynoed.
I dynoed mine W/speedstar air scoop,ECU adjusted and stock bazooka pipe and got 80 hp & 103 tq. so I'm looking for something close to 90 hp. & 110 tq. if I ever get my back ordered speedstar pipe so I can move on and do my air kit and fuel maping.
Spend a couple bucks and get a dyno, you know you want to!

 

I have Patrick racing air kit, hi comp pistons, bigshots and PC3 with custom tune. I got 90 hp and 109 torque.

 

the only thing he should be saying to you is "****!! i need a 103" to compete with you"

 

with samson pipes you have taken power away. They are the worst
pipes to run. Bak good pc 111 good but the pipes ypu have may keep
you at stock performance!!!

 

Any Fata$$ wideload HD wanna run against a Warrior is looking to get embarassed.
Bigtime.
It doesn't matter what you are turning out.... he'll have to spend thousands to keep up.
But I DO respect V-Rods...

 

Your bike is probably around 85HP and 100lbs torque. I run a TFI instead of a PCIII, a set of jughuggers, some Orient Express HC pistons, and thats it. Oh, and I have the 5th gear swapped out. My bike dials in at 90HP and 110lbs torque on the dyno. I run 1/4 miles in 12.5 seconds. Before the HC pistons I was running about the numbers I quoted you. Your buddy sounds like the typical harley puke. They all think their bike can whip anything out there but refuse to do any research on how their hogs actually perform. You should be able to bury his arse in only 3 gears AND riding 2 up!! That ought to shut him up!!

 

i have your setup w/custom map and i'm at 82.5hp and 105ft/lbs

 

Hey Terry, where are you, I thought you would be piping in on this thread for sure. What kind of hp does a stock glide have? maybe about 65?

 

Accourding to our conservative dyno the stock Warrior puts out around 73 hp and 97 tq.

 

The rips are an awesome sounding and looking pipe ... none much better in my opinion for this style of bike, but they definitely rob you of a little power.
Not enough to put your buddy and that farm animal he's riding in a position of bragging rights though!!

 

Give your buddy on the Wide glider a fair chance. You ride two-up and give him ever so slight of a head start.

 

All this talk about pipes robbing horsepower has me shaking....you guys think the D&D pipe robs any? I thought they told me it would produce almost the exact amount as the Vance and Hines.
Any ideas?

 

Anytime you start playing with that backpressure by adding larger diameter pipes you will lose low end torque which is where these bikes live. To us it feels like horsepower but is really just torque? PRWarrior, do you know if you gain any hp in the higher end?

let me know if im wrong but arent these all chassis dynos? meaning what the engine actually produces would be more? doesnt the transmission, xfer case, rear wheel and such absorb 10-15% of the power?

granted i know that power to the wheel is all that matters in acceleration, but when comparing hp to other bikes, you either have to compare other bikes dyno #s, or what the warrior puts out at the crank vs manufacturers #'s.

example: the warrior on the dyno puts down 73hp, and 97tq. honda says their 1800vtx has 106hp and 120 tq....


that would put the warrior at a huge disadvantage....

now, if you multiply the vtx #s by .85 (as 85% gets to the wheels) that means that what gets to the wheel would only be about 90-92 hp and 102-105tq

or much more on line to what the warrior produces.... still more powerful, but not the 30+hp and 30tq it would at first seem.

remember hp and torque from the dyno are after drivetrain losses.

if you were to take the warrior #'s at the crank it would come out to be 85ish hp at the crank, and about 115ish tq.

for reference in the may 05 issue of motor cyclist, the hayabusa on the dyno only put down 156.1 hp and 99.0 tq... or well below what it advertises at the crank

 

in the same issue of motor cyclist shows a 2000 screaming eagle road glide puts down 70.8 hp, and 86.4 tq

and an 02 warrior at 76.3 hp, and 97.9 tq

so we should easily win that one especially since the warrior is 15lbs lighter

but it also shows a 02 hd vrod put down 109.3 hp and 74.3 tq..... /emoticons/emotion-6.gif

 

ONAGER you are correct about the VTX Honda rates its numbers at the crank. My brother in-law has an 1800c with HK Sideburner, Barons air kit and mapped PCIII. It put down 93HP and 110TQ. I think bone stock the 1800 put 88-90hp and 102-105tq.
