I probably could of got another 1 or 2 mph. My timing may be advanced more than others and some may be decreased more than others. There could possibly be 3-4 degrees difference in timing from one bike to another.I just haven't had the time to play around with it. It's running so good I hate to mess with it. But you know me, I can't leave things alone either. lol I'm curious to see the outcome.

It is possible that there are small variances in ignition timing, but I can't imagine them being that far off from each other, unless the bracket on the pickup itself is inconsistently positioned.
Mod for mod our bikes should be roughly the same, but the size of the riders is likely vastly different. I am a giant of a man, so when seated on the bike I create more frontal area, which means a higher coefficient of drag, and thus a bit slower. On your average day I am lucky if I see past 67. If you hopped on my bike you would probably hit 70+ no problem. I have hit over 70 before, but it takes perfectly flat ground and zero wind lol.
This is my last step in the stock engine modifications list just to see what can be squeezed out of this bike without doing actual engine mods like the head porting, etc. Plus, who can pass up an essentially free mod for a little bit of extra "go".
