Not me. While some are hopping up their engines, and the engineers are thinking about itand analizing it, I'm riding and smiling and appreciating what I've got.

Good to hear from all of you,we all have our own reasons for doing what we do.The path I followed comes from a drag racing background,making my toys reflect that.It seems the only thing that really satisfys that itch is having enough power to scare the livin bejesus out of me.This last bike can do just that.My bikes are groundup built everything is beefed up to support the extra hp and trq making these bikes very reliable.They will cruise all day with the stock bikes.You would not believe the money invested to have these machines,it's a lot less then you would imagine.

Once you get a taste of performance, you'll want more....

650 lb. bike that puts out a stock 60 horse at the rear wheel is disgusting. With my mods I'm about 100hp & 110ft.lbs. This is what the engine should produce from the factory.
Intake
Cams
PCIII
Exhaust
Very good tune

Ever notice the annoyed look on the people that are constanly passing you? As if you are in the way? LOL
While you are "riding and smiling", try looking around a little. (He he!)

It's not about the speed to me. I like the way the touring bikes feel with the 110. IMO the way all the baggers should run. The off idle torque delivery is nice.

Have to say this,when I come upon any vehicle,by no means do I look annoyed,usually displaying ivory.Usually always go around,not to upset anyone,just having a blast.My bikes are built for that single purpose,accelleration,and the rush it always gives.So keep in mind a lot of us are not annoyed by slower traffic.

I'm still waiting to experience my stage 2 upgrade to my TC88. My reasons for the change are: passing power for all situations, improved throttle response and the adrenaline rush. I have no plans to sell the bike so I might as will make it the way I want it.

You have your priorities straight.You will enjoy your ride more than most.It's all about knowing what you want and then going after it.
