Default Bikes for Cruising or Accelerating!

Lets hear from you and what your Harley wants are. Personally,because of deep interest in Drag Racing my bikes reflect that.So both of my Harley RK's arestrong out of the hole.The smaller of the two 124" RK,is also an exellent bike for cruising.The real joy of having custom built bikes is there is always something to play with or tweak.Any of you want to talk Hotrodding and see pictures, I can send them to a personal email address.Dog

Default RE: Bikes for Cruising or Accelerating!

I would love to have more hp and torque. But, I just do not have the money, or the skill level to do it. I am a fat guy, and I move my 88" around about as fast as it will go. But man, I sure would love to be able to get that front wheel off the ground, just once. So, for now, I just cruise as fast as I can. One day, though... well hell, I will still be slower than you, LOL.

Default RE: Bikes for Cruising or Accelerating!

There have been a few boys say that I built this bike to beat everybody.I didn't,it was built for one reason,to see what it feels like and put a smile on my face,It was worth the wait even if it did take over forty years to get here.Funny thing is,I would still like to throw a leg over one of Randy T's (The King of Cubes)200+ inchers.It just never ends.If you do ever get a chance to bigger,go as big as you possibly can.You would not be dissappointed.Dog
