YEP its amazing all the Vtwins are trying to get every last bit of power out of those things and TRIUMPH restricts the ROCKET so they dont scare off the old HD owners so a de-restricted retuned ROCKET with a CARPENTER pipe and K&N filters will produce 165-175 RWHP or 200 +at the crank and loose a lot of weight as the Exhaust system weighs only 10 lbs

When my R3T was new and bone stock I greased a open piped 103 Switchback Harley off the lights at Doyalson he rang the 103s neck through 1/2/3 then gave up I backed off and he passed me with the finger then ran a red light at the next set rather than have another egg on face experience, nice as they are and sound brutal they are not that quick off the mark, I knew that when my Harley was on the road just cruised and avoid stop light drags.
The so-called de-restriction happened in 2014. Before that, the power restriction was closing the secondary throttle plates in the tunes. Most of this was removed in 2014 but not all of it. You can see the secondaries are still closed above 4800 rpm in 4th and 5th.
