Here's a start...enter your honest rear wheel HP, accurate/honest weight of bike + rider and you'll get a pretty good ET number...

Also; I wouldn't go over 100hp with stock crank; and good luck finding a shop that you can trust with YOUR open wallet. Lots of homework required

What happens if you finally beat your friend on the V-rod, and then he decides to upgrade his motor too?

I currently have 2012 fat bob RSD tubine filter, short shots, woods tw-222 cams and a power vision.
Would one those fuelmoto 107 kits and a set of ported heads do the trick?

Thanks Steve

you just aren't dusting a vrod, save your money for a vacation. i'm totally being "that guy", but that's just silly.

if you really want to, get a crate 120 or 127 engine and screw playing games. blow 8 grand to say... my 22K bike beat your 6K vrod.... bad business.

this is then compounded by not being able to get your money back out of the fat bob later because nobody wants your sloppy seconds franken bike.

i'm sorry for being that guy.
