I've got a 2007 HD5 International street bob that was originally for the Japanese market, I'm in Thailand and I'm trying to find out exactly what specs are different?
All I've found out so far is that the rear pulley is different and of course the speedo is Kms not miles.Torque specs are lower and the gearing is different.
I want to do a cam upgrade and Thundermax w/autotune, everything on the forums and company websites are geared to the Domestic bikes/market.
So I was wondering before I hand over all that hard earned cash what if any problems can I expect to run into because of the differences between the domestic/international models
Thanks
V-Twins for the Japanese market are 64 tooth pulleys, as opposed to 66 for the domestic models.
Gear ratio:
1st: domestic - 9.312, Japanese - 9.030
2nd: dom - 6.421, Japanese - 6.226
3rd: dom - 4.774, Japanese - 4.630
4th: dom - 3.926, Japanese - 3.807
5th: dom - 3.279, Japanese - 3.179
6th: dom - 2.790, Japanese - 2.706
Torque specs are also lower for Japanese models probably mostly due to the more restrictive stock muffler.
Again don't really want to ask the companies first, would like to hear from you guys first
Thank you!
