Not much to say except the owner "Luke" races Ducati's (one) professionally, spends 2 weeks out of four outback and lives in West Australia. He loves to "Ambush" Sport Bike Riders near the turns you guys have and run next to em', until it is on. The Ducati's will out handle the Sportster in the turns but what happens before and definitely after is what brings the lambs into slaughter.

The brake rotors: Metal Matrix Ceramic material & specially formulated (limited availability) brake pads has a much higher coefficient of friction than the stainless steel/sintered brake pads as well as a lower operating temperature allowing the heavier Sportster to out-brake the Ducatti's before the turn. The much higher horsepower allows the Sportster to make a joke out of the Ducati's on acceleration and it is all over in a short amount of time.

Luke says that he loves to see the look on the sport bike owner's faces when they walk by that Black Banshee that just skunked their finely tuned, unbeatable, born for the track, European racing machines, and was just humiliated by a Harley with gold suspension.

Skill, handling, and controllable horsepower is the key to happiness.

Mate It's a beautiful thing.
I'm doing a deal on an Aerocharger as we speak.
What ignition did "Luke "go with do you know.
If he races professionally on Duks then I would know of him from TV.
That vid has me feeling the trigger pull on the Aerocharger mate,
Cheers.

Hey...yell out when yah get your Aerochager. I just finished installing one on my 86 FXR and man it's fricking insane! I still have about 3 jobs to do to get it right... Shotgun pipe conversion, bigger fuel pump, new cam and ignition retard switch.

Cannot get the grin off my face....

Honestly...........Sell it.I know I **** alot of people off when I say this but...Sportsters are an entry level bike.All you end up doing is spending a whole lotta a money on it that your not going to recoupe when you decide to get rid of it.But then again thats just "my opinion" and I'm entitled to that.LOL

Or hang a turbo off it! A lightweight high revving blown sporty would be kick-*** on the street. Then if you sell it you can just remove the turbo unit and fit it to the next bike.

Thats what I did. Easy to install and gave me a lot of extra power. In the middle of more upgrades right now though....
