As long as your pockets are deep;
~Bore to 103".
~Stage II heads from a reputable machine shop (Hillside, Larry Motorcycle & Machine (WFO Larry), Syke Performance, Dan Baisley, Kirby at Vee Twin Racing, John Sachs, etc, etc).
~Complimentary cams to suit your riding style.
~Proven fuel management system (PC V, TTS, T-Max, Screamin Eagle Pro EFI Super Tuner).
~Custom tune/map.
Roll on's from 50 mph to 100+ mph in 5th gear are no problem. Those Honda's won't give you any problems again.

Probably not what some of you want to hear, but I dont see the point in tuning these motors, OK they might go a little faster in a straight line, still wont corner well though, some of the comments about arm wrenching accelleration, make me smile as I suspect there are a lot of people here who have not owned or ridden a sports bike, I'm talking about bikes that will loft the front wheel in the lower gears from power alone, no clutch, no pulling of the bars, just sheer power.
I came over to Harley to slow down and enjoy the ride. just dont see the point in overtuning a motor that a chassis cant handle.

Overall I am a very conservative and defensive rider but I like knowing the juice is there if I need it

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...

[QUOTE=2kids3pets;8923722]Sounds like street racing to me...just plain stupid...why not just let the Civic go and pull in behind him and live another day.
If that was my daughter on the back there wouldn't be a second ride and you would have a hard time walking after I was finished with you.

That's what you got from this post. I just gotta laugh. Thanks for your useless advice. Next

I personally don't think it is too much to ask that a 20K bike have some passing power when travelling on the hwy. The fact that a person needs to spend another 3k to get that power on bike that cost that much is BS. I am not drinking the harley kool-aid on this one

...and you did those speeds on a closed course, not on public highways right?
At 145+ on a public highway there are potential hazards that there is no way you would have time to react to, no matter how good of rider you believe yourself to be.
At those speeds on a public highway you are nothing but an irresponsible reckless driver and a hazard to the public. Nothing to be bragging and tooting your horn about.
