Independent Tuning of a Sportster 2007 1200 Low

1-1-2013 - Here is a indipendent article from a HD Tuner in the United Kingdom with our Torque Hammer exhaust.

Powerglides tested our Torque Hammer for the Sportster on a 1200 Low 2007, Here is his story.

The Sportster had before V&H Double Barrels, lightly modified stock A/C, and a Kitech (Dobeck) fueler. It came here because of lack of performance, lack of cornering clearance (not helped by the fact that it is a Low), low speed driveability issues, and it was too loud for the owner. 

I've just installed a TH on a 2007 1200 Low. The bike didn't have a stock exhaust and A/C when it came in, so I don't have the stock baseline as a point of comparison. As with the 883, I used the Screaming Eagle Heavy Breather, as it works well.

 

 

Here is a graph with the Torque Hammer and tuned with the sound baffle in it's a nice quit pipe.

 

 

 

Here is a graph with the Torque Hammer and with the sound baffle oud it's a loud pipe with good torque in the midrange.

The Torque Hammer is one of the best H-D exhausts that I've worked with, and I have a great admiration for the amount of R&D that Dris had to endure to get this developed, and I can't find many public references to the R&D programs, test results, and comparisons of this magnitude, from other manufacturers, even though they are probably done in many instances. here is the article of the development of the exhaust: https://www.twinmotorcycles.nl/artikelen.asp?cid=16&aid=125
