I'm dwelling on the experiences of my fellow forum readers to help me cut to the chase scene to get more torque. I'm looking for the simplest, quickest, maybe less costly way to gain enough torque to notice a difference.
When I compare the response of a 2011 triglide to my current 2015 (BOTH STOCK) I could feel no difference. Harley claims torque was increased from 100 at 3250 rpm on pre Rushmore to 105.5 at 3750 rpm for Rushmore high output 103 (2014-2016). Being retired from product testing my first question is why not "apples to apples" meaning why the difference in rpm numbers for the testing results? What is pre Rushmore torque at 3750 rpms? Putting that unusually wierd testing info aside I'm just looking for a boost from 105.5 to maybe 110-112 ft lbs. Also does a torque increase automatically mean more fuel consumption?
