Winter dyno testing

We spent several hours testing on the dyno at Silver Eagle HD/Buell/Yamaha just after Christmas. Due to limited racing last year, winter testing is very important to have the bike ready for the 2012 race season.

We actually de-tuned it a bit but the trade off is now great throttle response that will help me more than the brute horsepower number we had. It is now ready to race!!

Watch for my new 2012 race apparel and sponsorship packages!!
