Oh yeah he's definitely on the bottle. I originally asked him what it ran bone stock and we pm'd back and forth a few times. It's transformed since that vid with lots of internal work which he's pretty tight lipped about but I think he's running a wet kit now with a standalone EFI system that'll control his timing and Nitrous injection. I impressed that he's running times like that with the stock heads and according to him a "small shot".

Nah that's 1/4 mile for sure.. I'm guessing a stock softail would run mid to low 10 sec times in the 1/8 though.

if it was 1/8th at 129mph he'd befeckin flyin on a 1/4ml track!! if his was usin nos which i dont think he was, i couldnt hear the engin note change but i aint sayin he wasnt, i would have thought he would have put the bottle on the left hand side of the byk, so he can arm the bottle n keep his hand on the throtle, as he's a street byk, thats what we di over here so if you wanted to mix it with a guy at the lights or on the motorway u could reach round n squeeze it on n not let go of throtle. my 10p worth

He was better off buying a "V-ROD". I am not sure if I would rev it that much on the drag strip! It's a long stroke, torquey engine..... I guess he will not keep it for a long?
