What's really funny is how many guys will buy one and then ask for opinions on how to wake it up!

It is the same reason why men look at other women - human nature.

A lot of us looking for the right power combo. Some of us find it without spending a fortune others never stop looking or pouring out the cash.

If I truly wanted to go fast, I would add a used, less expensive Suzuki GXS-R 1000 to the stable before I would swap out motors in my Harley. But that's just me. I guess there's some bragging rights to be had with stuffing a ballsy v-twin into the frame.

Hmmm I bet for $5g's I can go almost 200hp and almost 200mph (on pump regular) and be pretty safe..

Don't get me wrong, hp is like money, can never have too much...

But years of racing makes building monster vtwins sort of a futile effort when it comes to the $ to hp ratio.. Granted, I am running around on a stock 88ci, maybe I am just jealous
