Well as i was merging onto the highway, i was behind a car and after we got in right lane i went to pass him on the left. Well as i got beside him, he punched it, well so do i.... now we are 45ish to 100mph. problem is that he was right beside me the whole time, believe it was a Civic. Now i know Misty aint build for speed and performance, but really???
After 90mph bike just aint got nothing left... (2 questions)
1. is that normal for a bike with stage 1?
2. what cam will fix this problem?
Ok done crying...

See the answer to #1.
Why did you name your scooter misty or is that the civics name?

Riding 100 or so on the freeway is just speeding; no big deal.
145 - 160 mph on any public highway is RECKLESS, plain and simple. Doesn't matter to me if it's a Japanese crotch rocket or a Harley, good riddance to people who kill themselves driving that recklessly. That particular herd needs some thinning anyway.
People who try to justify those kinds of speeds on public roads as not being reckless are the type of people who think the world revolves around them.

Seems like more often than not, the OP will make a statement that brings out all the holyier-than-thou crowd. Maybe we can just have the nanny state bring all speed limits down to 35 (some will complain it to fast) or just outlaw bikes all together.
75 or 105, you get in a wreck, the odds are it's not going to be pretty.

I'd love to see what bikes the "holier than thou crowd" would be riding if there was a form and test etc that determined their riding style/skill/intentions.
I recently got pulled over by a motorcycle officer for speeding.
I was asked why I was doing 75mph on a 45mph on-ramp, entering a 55mph interstate.
With no words spoken, I smiled and made a respectful gesture with my hands that said "dude really? Do you not see this machine between my legs?"
We chatted for a few, and i left with a warning.
Speed is relative, be aware, be smart, think ahead and stay right except to pass. The car pool lane is not the safest place for a slow moving vehicle of any kind.

Here's the dyno sheet for my Night Train with the SE 204 cams. It pulls like a freight train and will hit the rev limiter very quickly. 87.5 HP and 103.25 torque and the motor hasn't been opened up. I don't have any problem keeping up with the 103 Street Glides my friends ride.
Ugh. Was at the dealer yesterday looking at options and prices and was told that the SE204 might be a bit too hot as the powerband rolls up to 6.2k and I should really go with an SE203, but looking at your dyno, that looks spot on for where I ride.
Good thing you guys never pulled up next to a mildly modded VW

Dont expect to get the numbers above everywhere. I've seen a lot of dyno sheets and around here a 96''er with whatever cam and pipes combo's usually make in the low-mid 90 TQ and low-mid 80 TQ at best. Thats without Head work
The average 103 BB kit usually makes 104tq 83Hp, +,-, a couple.
Heres the dyno sheets of a couple, 07 Deuce and 09 NT. They both had the 204's installed in them.
The Deuce had V&H BR 2-2 and the Night Train had Big shot longs.
Both tuned at the same place by the same 23 yr master wrench and tuner.
Notice a big difference in the 1st sheet, How much lower the tq was with the BSL's made in the lower and upper RPM's vs the BR's 2-2's
Also notice they do pull good from 2500 rpm to 4k, but start to fall after that and they really go down after 5K rpm's and both had the 4 degree to make them come on a little earlier.
Once thing they do well is they have a really good lumpy idle...

To many saints here
Try the andrews 48's, they are really nice start out a little lower and go past the 203's in the upper area. Its a great torque monster. without a good map I got 94 tq and 81 hp. The other maps are from some really good tuners with mostly 2-1 pipes.
Now to jump into the morals phase of this thread:
I do alot of burnouts, and you allways get the guys that go " real smart there goes 300 bucks..... " Hey guess what I dont pay 3 bills for a tire, I also mount and balance my own ****.
I dont buy a bunch of bolt on crap and say my bike is custom. I do all my own work, NO ONE touches my bike except me.
I dont like these idiots that ride 1-3000 miles a year and have 5k invested in Harley brand gear, and believe they are tough.
I have been riding harleys since I was 16 in 78'. If you dont like what I do go **** yourself, go buy a Obama electric bike and fry in hell. I dont give a **** about your opinions or your morals, I live by my own.
Yeah granted I think those idiots that drive like ******** in traffic are dumb, but guess what all of you that criticize have done something just as dumb or worse in your life, if not, then obviously you should call the Vatican and get sainted you bitchs. FU
Rant over
