    Question How do you dyno a harley?

    Ok the story goes, one guy came to my dyno with a weird request, he wanted his bike to back fire more through a dyno tuning?!!!
    i told him it can harm your motor, it is not efficient, you will lose power, etc. but he was adamant he wanted more back fire.
    It is a 2008 softail fuel injected, with screaming eagle pipes and some kind of a aftermarket breather.
    I told him to run the pipes open but he didn't wanted that, just more backfire
    So i started flashing his ecu with the supertuner software, adding fuel every where, advancing timing, retarding timing but with no noticeable improvement............does anyone knows how to get it to backfire more?

    i know it is a funny request but hey the customer want it

    well, you could drill a 3/16 hole in the back side of the exhaust about 5in. down from port? when he backs off it will backfire,
