Interesting observation, maybe you should look at my ride report and dyno sheet over here;
http://www.v-twinforum.com/forums/dr...et-baffle.html

This bike pulls like an animal from low to midrange. Falls off after about 5000rpm, right where I rarely take this engine. It's bagger, I just ride the thing and when I pass I want it to get going. And I did it without spending lots of money.

Let me know what you think, and as I said; if I were to do it again I'd put in the compression releases.
