They do go like a motherfucker but with that sort of power my buddies are all blowing a couple of belts a year. $$$$. Chain drive Seems to be the next upgrade for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdsky Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Every Hardley needs go fast parts.... I worked here over the summer while going to college and was grateful for the opportunity as it paid my bills. Learned a couple of things about machining in the process. Also learned that college was the way to go as working in those shops in the heat for 10-12 hour days got old really quick. I managed to avoid the real grunt work like sandblasting parts all day long. Those dumb bastards earned every dollar they made twice over. Got a kick out of riding my Honda into work every day getting the sideways stares from the visiting tourists. Best part was second summer there I was moved into Q/A and got to test run carbs coming off the line. Nothing better than getting paid to ride on a sunny summer day. Even after riding their best modded and tuned rides of that era I never caught the bug to actually own one. Screaming ricer's accelerate like nothing else on two wheels.

I never should have sold it. Goofy ass looking thing, but those opposed twins are smooth as silk and run forever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a Yamaha VStar 1100 I put about 28,000 miles on two years prior to buying a Harley and thought that was nice and comfy to get back on two wheels with, but the Harley really is just so much more bike it’s that much more enjoyable to be on 🍻 Keep your head on a swivel and the rubber side down 🤙 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
