To me 200 mph is a little to much...do you realize how much the wind pressure is at those speed...I say 180 tops...you'd have to add maybe a turbo to get it going that fast... -

It ran on the dyno at a top speed of 208mph so real world with wind around 200mph I have had 175 comfortably out of it and it didn't feel like it was trying too hard to achieve that speed (on a private road of course) As for cruisers it doesn't matter what manufacturer they are from i just wouldnt swing my leg over another one again after the street glide special pile of shite that I had a test ride on 6 years ago -
-
It's no bullshit Saul...stock form..it produces around 105 hp...even thoe what ive done so far maybe added another 5 hp maybe slightly more...that's about it...but has soon has these dam tarrif ends...I'll be sending the ecu for a proper tune...
-
That dyno chart is just an exhaust swap numbskull!
-
Well ok maybe not 10 k...lol...what's the cost of cams decent exaust, and air cleaner and a tune then ?

Your bike tops out at 180 mph ? My 1290 topped out at 160mph and it was no where's aerodynamic built like your bike.. Has for a cruiser, from experience having owned 2 previous harleys the indian is night and day in comparison...sure its no hyper sport bike but can actually be pushed at a fairly descent pace at time... -
Marcel is using his own measure. For him it's Bullshite Horse Power normally found on paper which I believe is a smaller unit than measured Brake Horse Power.
-
That helmet will bake your head.
-
Anyway you have just swapped the air cleaner and mufflers, no tune. Probably not even pulling 100hp. No wonder it is slower than Dans bike.

Ah stop bitching before I lay down another smack down hotel on your candy arse...

I prefer real speed..... aka mph..... none of this continental shite work in imperial not metric. I wouldn't have an issue riding a crosser it's just cruisers I refuse to ever throw a leg over again they are horrible to ride and don't handle how a bike should handle -
I had a top box. Well made a lasted me a good few years before I sold it on for bigger kit. Sold it to the shop apprentice if I remember right.
-
Looks like pilot error...high side it maybe...
-
Here @Buckster let me educate you..in comparison a new Harley 117 isn't even producing 100 hp...92 to 94 hp at the top end ..to get it over the 100 hp club ..you need to.pump.like 10 g in to it...
-
By the way, you cannot say someone is wrong when they are asking a question numbskull!
-
So just the handling limitation of Indian motorcycles, okay.
- Today
-
Suppose to go out today with the Harley crew...expecting slow speed and coffee drinking to keep awake...the norm...
-
-
On the other hand ...your tractor on a dyno you'd be lucky if you pulled 65 hp and and maybe 80 fp of torque in comparison...and at 80 ft pound I'm being generous here...
-
-
You have about 105 hp and 110 lbs ft of torque. It’s all in your head.

It's actually my first tool box after coming out of the community college after taking the automotive course...in 1984 or 85 maybe ...
