gnatshooter Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Idk if I like it or not? I can't give a good reason why or why not tho Around here, nobody will ride anything that isn't a Harley Davidson. Except for the very few who ride rice rockets. I saw a BMW bike here about 12 years ago. Maybe the problem is, this bike is a thumper that doesn't look like a Harley and isn't a ricer.

I'm not a huge HD fan, vintage or rat although street glides are appealing to me. I'm a bike enthusiast I appreciate all kinds of bikes. This one just don't do anything for me but I can't put my finger on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

survivalshop Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) Bike looks uncomfortable , seat looks like a glorified " P " pad <dontknow> . Its probably fast & that's appealing to the young crowd . My Ultra classic is so comfortable I have to play the music loud to keep from falling asleep on Cruz control . <laughs> Edited May 13, 2014 by survivalshop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

survivalshop Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Why is it when you mention Harley's, some one always asks if you want to race & says how fast his bike or that bike is ? They can't say they have the most popular brand out there or that chicks just dig them , noooo , they got to say how fast they are , well women don't like it fast , they want slow & comfortable . <lmao> Besides , when was the last time you saw one of these hot rod bikes that's 60+ years old ? All that speed don't last , you have to grow up some time <laughs> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 I'd be willing to bet a $5 breakfast that the graph Tom posted is a V-twin cruiser. Just not a Harley. Jackpot - that's some Japanese V-Twin, right there. Those are the tuning runs I had to make on my M109 (Suzuki), once I pulled the secondary throttle plates. Your right wrist controls the primary throttle plates, but the computer decides when to open the secondaries, at it's leisure. I was NOT okay with that, so I yanked the secondary plates. I WILL BE THE ONE that controls throttle opening, gawd-daymit. No other way. Computer can kiss my ass... However, I loaded that thing up on the dyno, secondaries removed (there's more mods, just not talked about right now), and WHACKED THAT THROTTLE. Shot over 18:1 af/r. LEAN!!! Had to make almost 30 runs on the dyno to get that lean spike taken care of, and that's what you guys see in the graph. Simple tuning for the mod went from 131hp/117lb/ft to 135hp/122lb/ft. Just from tuning. Af/r was 12.75 all the way out, until 6500rpm, then it went lean and spiked to 15:1. I didn't have anymore time on the dyno at that point, so I couldn't fix the end of it. How many Harley guys can say they have 100lb/ft of torque from 2,250rpm all the way to 7,200 rpm? NONE! Harley's don't know what a rev past 5,500 rpm sounds like! <lmao> What's cool in this build was 110lb/ft of torque from 2,700rpm to 6,000 rpm. Torque makes engines. Hp is just an equation of "torque over time." I've skeered some Harley owners at some dyno shootouts - they're not used to hearing an engine revving that high - or putting out numbers that high. They kinda $hit themselves... <lmao> Let's race! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
