Hp loss
we are always getting questioned on the CT subject it is a real area contention amongst the ROCKET owners so somehow well have to get someone to do a comparison test other than US
well be accused of cheating

HEY PHIL we can hook up this weekend its going to be nice and warm and some cruisin sounds good I still want to ride your machine and I think yours is probably the best tire choice 225 you know we are in the HP business so 20hp means a lot to our customersI just didn't have the time to get to Art to do a "before" dyno pull,as I wanted the MT off my bike ASAP and the switch was done during the first few days that I got on the road this season.. As for sidestepping... I don't think so, guys, nor do I think that results on a dyno vs results on the road are nearly the same thing. I've ridden all of my darklsided bikes, both before and after switching tire types, running against and with the same bikes of my friends [V-Rods, Beemers, Runes, Harleys and Victories (with stage 1 cam kits)] and I'm telling you that there was no appreciable difference in performance detected. Believe what you will...
Art, you are still welcome to dyno my ride whenever I can get it down to 'ya and you have the time/inclination.. I know what the limited performance mods on my setup add over and above a stock bike and I have nothing at all to hide, prove or to be regretful of. I like how my bike handles and have easily accepted the tradeoffs involved. I ride on the road, not on a closed circuit or drag strip. I am neither interested in "riding on the edge of the envelope" nor pulling every last ounce of oomph possible out of this engine as some others, understandably, are. Toi each their own... this is so much like the helmet issue conversations, i.e., which is the "best", half, 3/4, full or none. The answer is; whichever you choose is right for you.
