Default highest horsepower softtail
Who has the biggest motor highest horsepower numbers in a softail on here?

I know there's a sticky for dyno numbers but I haven't seen too many over 100 horsepower

I'm trying to see what cam head exhaust cubic inch sets are really making some power on here and wondering what kind of suspension tires you guys are running to handle it all

I'm at 98.4/111.6. Tuned by a great tuning center and the powervision 2. No headwork and stock compression. S & S mr103 cams and a d and d bobcat pipe which seems to go really well with the cams. The Andrews 57h net similar results.That being said do you have a budget? Do you want to be able to ride the bike anywhere At anytime?. What octane fuel can you get or are you willing to get.? Do you ride 2 up? There is some serious power to be had......if you want it.

personally I think that's all anyone really needs in a harlet it gets up and goes but it's not unmanageable I've got a 113 in my bike right now pushing about 140 just curious to what's out there and how much more I could get out of it.... or if it's really worth it to go bigger in cubic inches like a 124 or if anyone's getting more out of a smaller motor

Pushing 140 your up there pretty good. Damn it. And for a 113 that is really good. How's the tq down low like at 2800 rpm?
