Adding spray to a 09 Softail Custom
Adding spray to a 09 Softail Custom
I was riding today and I came up next to a nice Dyna. I didnt downshift far enough and he kept pulling away. I thought, "i need nitrous". Just a little bit. So i looked around and found http://www.dynotunenitrous.com/store...?idproduct=289.
Its a dry kit that adds from 15 to 40 HP depending on the jets. I was wondering if my bike can handle it. Its a stock 96CI with drag pipes, air stage one aircleaner and computer. I thought it would be cool to have a sleeper and just dust em.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

I wouldn't. You'ld be openin' up a real can 'o' worms as far as reliability for what...so you can "smoke" someone else on another bike? Nitrous puts incredible stresses on the motor, like a blower. I would NOT attempt any type of mod like this unless the motor, particularly the bottom end, is beefed up. Then do it the right way; cams,heads,bore,tune,etc. Instant "bolt on" HP is asking for trouble, IMHO.
FWIW, half the riders in my town have faster bikes than me, & I couldn't care less.

A lot of folks will say the crank is the weak link. Weeding through the BS from the 96 haters and the folks who may actually know, and info I can find about 120 HP seems to be the limit. It maybe a little much without welding/truing the crank. That said Dickey has the better answer.

Your bike + nitrous would let you beat up on other Harleys and still get smoked by most sport bikes just so you can blow your motor to itty bitty bits at some point. Hardly seems worth it to me but it ain't my bike.

IMHO, if you want to "race", buy the appropriate bike, or build one. Don't destroy your ride just to show someone up. You might just be on the receiving end of something you don't want.

**** the haters, go for it. A couple friends of mine have spray and air shifters on their street bikes. we all enjoy drag racing at the track too, but they still use spray on the street. one guy has it wired to his horn...so at WOT you hear BEEP and off he goes
