let me ask you this......if they lied and told you itwas 100hp would you be satisfied?
IF YES
Then be satisfied.........if shes running well, youll never miss what may be a somewhat innacurate reading anywas

Look under the swingarm and see if here's a charcoal canister. If so, you have a California bike. It has milder cams for better emissions. My CA Tourer has 87.8 HP and 88.3 FT/LBS of torque. Also altitude and temp and humidity can affect readings.

HP is a calculation based on RPM and Torque,
Not all dynos are calibrated the same.
Ambient temperature and humidity also play a large part in the dyno readings.
Yes head work could help,....but you'd need more than head work to see significant increases (like a supercharger).
