For some reason, the ones with cams and headwork aren't all that impressive compaired to 95" either.
I wouldn't mind racing you. You travel?

i"d have to argue that point,these close ratio 6spds against the older 5s is like a muncie 4spd against 3 on the tree.

I wouldn't mind either. Here is a link to my build BTW https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-...o-results.html

The point of my post wasn't to knock anyone or their ability. There is always a better rider out there, and always a bike with more HP. The point I was trying to make is simple. Look at the numbers the 96's and 103's make and you will see that even though they have quite a bit of displacement advantage over 88's and 95's they arent making quite as big of a power difference as one would think.

I'll be more then happy to race any 06 or newer Dyna on the strip or across US 129 or US 421.
Whenever you get tired of being a key puncher and want to see who's got a really fast bike you let me know.
