I prefer OEM engines. I had an S&S evo 98" in a bagger which was fun then I sold it. Sounded great but the reality was with all that noise and impressive looks, my friends bone stock low rider ST would destroy me. It opened my eyes and made me instantly realize I was wasting my time messing around trying to make an old design perform. I equate it to working with a flathead ford hoping to beat the Ford Voodoo engine. I think there was a time when the S&S engines made sense when everything was slow but not anymore. Life is simpler when you accept something for what it is.

Making things go faster, especially ones never intended to be fast at all, is a very deep and expensive rabbit hole. My little 45 will keep up with modern bikes and most riders. That is not how Bill Harley designed her.

Respectfully I must disagree. Your 45 will keep up with your M8? Does your 45 have twin turbos and a 50 shot of NOS that Im not aware of?

Now stopping, that is a different conversation.
