SHADOSPRIT Posted December 20, 2023 Author Share Posted December 20, 2023 Thanks to all of you who actually put good info on this subject. Yes it ii's kind of dumb to compare a Harley to a sport bike but hey, to each their own. I have owned many sport bikes in my younger years. Had a few jap cruisers but I really like my Harley's. For those who think they cant run, I have a good buddy has a 2002 (I think) Fatboy, smokes everything in the quarter mile for last 3-4 years a our local track. He had to have a custom seat made so you can stay on the thing. I was skeptical but he let me ride it. Told me get on freeway crack it and hold on. She moved! I reached back out to fuel moto today asking about overheating. He guarantees me this is not an issue with the bolt on big bore kits. He assures me I won't go wrong! So more homework I do and then we will see.....Thanks again... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucking Nut. we have a group of those guys that come to us. trick riders doing crazy shit on a dresser. we add crash bars, change the belt to a steel rear sprocket and a huge chain, i think it's geared pretty low. solid or at least urethane handlebar bushings, wicked strong handlebars . they blow the guts out of the front forks . harley fork pretty basic. race tech sells "emulators" . changes the valving from a hole in metal to a valve stack that is easily tuned. i did that to a tri z 250, has the same fork design, and the owner was blown away. i set it where i thought was good and he said it's spot on. then says maybe tune a touch, i say bring it over. he says it it's good enough, not worth putting in the truck. that means it's good. any of you harley guys should check them out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
