All I can offer is more specs on my bike:
03 TBA 790
Bubs slash cuts
UNI, no snorkle
45 pilots, stock needles, 1 shim, 135 mains
Wrong HD type thunbscrews (set too rich?)
I think I can fix my rich at idle condition by changing
the thumbscrews to Brent's new correctly tapered ones,
and re-adjusting/balancing the carbs.
Anyway, this dyno experience confirmed my seat of the pants
feeling that my bike pulls pretty good. It doesn't get good
mpg, but if I wanted fuel economy, I'd be riding a moped!

Nice format John. I'd like to see motor size also.
No file uploads here but we just need someone with a site to host it....
Uh, Pat???

Bah! Horsepower Shmorsepower -- real men tune for torque
On a more serious note, here's a primer on how to determine optimum shift points for a given torque curve
http://www.allpar.com/eek/hp-vs-torque.html;
Horsepower needs to be where you can get at it (within a viable RPM range) for it to be most useful. For the bikes tuned to peak out their HP at the high revs, your general rule of thumb may be to redline it in each gear if a big ol' twin sidles up to you at the stop light and gives you a cheesy grin. I'd have to run the numbers to verify that though.

Alrighty, Pat, RobBA05, Charlie, and ArsnlTim have the real men angle covered and everyone else is pretty darn close...6 of the dynos are so close it's amazing.
