1/4 mile heritage times?
Arguing with my friend.
A bone stock heritage classic 2008+ full dress
What times would it do at the drag strip if you had a perfect rider, perfect launch, perfect weather.... perfect everything.
08' heritage with exhaust and air filter? What times would it pull?

my track don't have that good looking girls haha. Besides, they tend to cost more and get jealous when you spend time with bikes/cars haha
I think the bike would do a real world 14 he says 13's. From my drag racing/land speed friends they think ~13.2-13.5 with a perfect run in stock form. He was more right than I was so I will have to give it to him... now to take it to the drag strip and find out real world numbers. Thinking next week.
Why not make the heritage go faster? It makes a great sleeper! Have pistons, rods, heads, cams, intake just waiting for me to install when I find the time. Make her run like a Harley should run from the factory.
I love WOT clutchless shifting that bike... so few people expect that. Bike does need a steering stabilzer...
anyways... that was off subject

The answer to that is this
What's the point in spending thousands on making a Heritage faster? Even if you shave 1-2 seconds off the ET, you're still looking at a mid/high 11-12 second bike. That's not impressive. Go brag to other Heritage guys and they'll probably just reply with "oh, okay. can't talk now, going to go cruise the countryside with a girl i picked up wandering in the pits." Line up next to a bike that WAS designed to go fast, and they'll still leave you behind like you're standing at the starting line the whole time (and to do it, they won't even have to push their bikes to the limit, ripping gears and trashing the clutch like you will be)
