Over 60 rwhp now with more to go

How does it feel to ride?  Any flat spots or steps in the power band?

Sure seems like it should have potential to have the same kind of motor feel and smooth power band, only stronger and faster.  Thanks for bringing us along!

UK dealer Coopers recently published a dyno chart for their 865 conversion. Peak power 61 bhp, peak torque 61.5 lb-ft.
How does that compare to your measurements?

Parts added: S&S 865cc big bore kit with high lift cams, power commander, Air induction kit, HD S&S clutch kit and a hand made exhaust.
(On the same dyno a stock bike makes around 42bhp/45Nm.)

A fifty percent increase in hp and torque strikes me as worth all the effort.  I'm hoping to get to 50hp with the cam and high compression pistons, plus a Power Commander.  (I've already got the Stinger exhaust.)

There's plenty of meat in that torque curve.
You could shift that torque curve up about 500 rpm - 1000 rpm and really never miss anything significant down low. It would bump up that higher rpm hp really nice. Might pick up 5hp on top, just from that.

I agree
Moving cam timing around can and probably will work
I just don’t have the luxury of the dyno time
