Hi everyone im just wanting peoples veiws on power differences when riding with friends! I have a 2014 Fatbob with a stage 1 kit and im wondering why a couple of my mates bikes seem to just have little bit more than mine!Two of my mates have 2014 wide glides both with stage 1 kits as well and they both seem to have just a tiny bit more than mine!! Could this be a weight issue or maybe a tune issue? Keen as to hear people's veiws on this!!
Thanks man!!

could be directly related to the amount of twist in the right wrist.

Not so much drag them out but when we all decide to gun it i dont want them to pull away from me or if they behind me dont want them to gain on me

So does that mean wide glides have different gearing to my Fatbob? Same motors same stage 1 same pipes why does his gain on me?thats what im trying to work out i know i could do stuff to make it go faster just dont know why the same set up bike has a little more than mine?

I be curious to know the parts breakdown:
~ Intake/AC
~ Exhaust
~ Tuner
Also kilometres on the bikes.

Tyre type can also make a difference.
I mean, If they are Caneing you, then something might be up, otherwise weight, tire drag etc can be the difference.

As lots have said weight is a key factor. Looking at 2016 models on the Harley website the Wide Glide is 23 pounds lighter that the Fatbob.

No one has mentioned the facts yet! The Dyna engine is not counter balanced as the Softail engine is, the counter balancer robs power from the engine. Learning to ride properly will also have a massive impact when hooning around, don't rev the fucken thing to the redline, learn to shift in your torque curve. Go and hang around the Harley dealer and talk to other blokes with the big stage 1 kit and don't forget to buy all the shirts and shit, they will definitely make you go faster!

I've got the 103 , My mate can beat me on a pushbike going down hills ,,, He's just a better rider i suppose ,, I do him at the lights though and thats what matters , cos theres others around to see it . LOL
