I really wanted a breakout when I first saw it but when I pictured what I wanted to do with it I figured it would end up looking just like my rock

So I went in a totally different direction


My rock was my 1st Harley... I do miss it

No, more displacement doesn't automatically equal more power. If there are no other changes, more displacement will tend to move the power lower in the rpm band, but it won't necessarily increase peak power, and may even decrease it.

Gotta agree with 24V here....there is no replacement for displacement. Stock to stock the bigger motor is going to have more power....just dont see it any other way.
