Anyone have 1/4 mile times for 07 Soft Tails
i would think that a mid to low 13 sec. run sound about right. also for every 10 pound you can get rid of, you should pick up a tenth of a second. so it possible a deuce or a standard couls run in the 12 's.
its definatly 100 pounds for cars. thought is ten pounds for bikes, but its possible im mistaken.
Let's say your Harley weighs in at 700 pounds, race ready, and will run a 13.5 second quarter mile.
It's hard for me to imagine, but let's just pretend that you could reduce the race ready weight of that same Harley by 500 pounds.
If we used the 100 pounds equals 1/10th second formula, a 500 pound reduction would reduce the quarter mile time by 1/2 second.
So if our imaginary 700 pound Harley ran a 13.5 second quarter mile, it would only run a 13.0 second quarter mile at a weight of 200 pounds?
I don't think so.
