A friend of mine has a "06 Yamaha Road Star Silverado with a stage one kit.
He had it dyno tested to see what the HP was and it came in at 56 HP!
That can't be right! What is the HP on a stock Silerado. I can't find anything on the web?

Probably right. I'm presuming this is an 1100. I have a buddy that had a Kawasaki something or other 1700. It was 59 HP stock. 59 might be pushing it for an 1100 Yammy. They work to squeeze power out of their in-line 4s. Asian bike makers just looking for cheap cruiser geeks on the HD clones.

The 06 Roadstar is a 1700. Stock is 64 HP 96 Torgue, stage one should be around 72 HP - 100 Torgue

I had an 05. It was a very nice bike. I has more saddle room than my 12 glide. I had stage 1 and it was a pretty torqey bike. here is a pic of my old bike.

on any bike a set of slip-on mufflers, an open air cleaner and a tuner will normally only add 4-6 HP, also that HP is probably at the rear wheel. My DRZ-400 is only 30 HP.

I think you are pretty close. I thought that was for the early models that were 1600 cc. I thought the 1700's were a little higher than that. Just for shits and giggles, I have a Stratoliner with an aftermarket muffler (stock head pipes) and an air box mod it made 90 Hp and 121 Ft/lbs torque. now that will set you back in the seat.

Before I bought my 2005 Super Glide, I had a 2007 Yamaharley Road Star 1700. I'd say the HP mentioned by the OP is pretty close... The 1700s had a few more ponies than the 1600s but not much.

Yeah, when the magazines tested the 1700 Silverado it wouldn't break 100 mph with the windshield on it. They are torquey but not much HP upstairs.
The 1st 1600cc/98 inch Road Star was electronically rev-limited to 4200 rpm. It's really hard to make HP at such a low rpm.
This is the 1600 stock and after pipes/airbox:

05 Roadstar Silverado 1700 power
Harley's are sweet, smooth, powerful, and costly. I put all stage 2 and Sampson no baffles on my Yamaha and... it kicks butt. Only the super fast rocket bikes can beat her up to 100 mph. I have regurlarly ridden over 125 and with a beautiful screaming female passenger was pulled over doing 140 (clocked). I don't think I lucked out with the power of this bike. And, I know for certain, even with the windshield on, she will hit 125 in 4th lol.

Go to the drag strip and race some of those sport bikes and see what happens. My 1998 Suzuki Bandit, 1246cc, makes 155 RWHP, 93 ft lbs torque, runs the 1/4 mile with 220 lb rider 9.7 sec 140 mph, should top out around 185, and it want stay up with any of the new sport bikes, 1000 cc or bigger.
