It's OK I guess... runs about like Ken's SESG. Just for grins I started in 3rd gear on an on ramp at about 3500 RPM's, snapped the throttle and hit 6 grand then to forth. Took only a few seconds to get to 115 MPH. Still had RPM's left but I shut it down and let Ken catch up. He was in a higher gear and didn't know I was going to test the tuning. He did catch up pretty quick though.

Still needs a little tweaking when I get the time.

Dude TRICKED me! I was just moving up the on ramp listening to some vintage SRV, mindin' my own darn business... then I heard his pipes... then I SAW him pulling away... HARD. I was in fifth gear at about 2200 at that point... below the "buy in" of the 54Hs... so I just left my feet on the highway pegs, went to WOT, and let the RPMs build. The cars on the highway got closer, then the cams lit up and those cars faded fast. Then I saw the Tequila Sunrise Scorcher in front of me... getting closer! I eased off once I got to 100 MPH... it was a good little run! Never got above 5000 RPM tho... "not good for the motor", as someone told me recently... HAR!

Now, a fair fight where everyone know the RULES... might have a slightly different outcome... or maybe not...

I DO know that I haven't had this much of a seat-of-the-pants THRILL since my old '85 Kawasaki Eliminator 900 that would do 0-60 in 2.7 seconds, and turn a sub 11 QM... but it didn't have a rider backrest, nor a fairing, nor a STEREO...

Thanks For The Memories, Dave! I'm ready for Ocala now...

You did indeed, Sir Wiz. But you still TRICKED ME!

And your bike is still quieter than mine for some reason... probably less bolt-on chrome crap rattling around... but the Tour Pak does make a nice tuning laptop workstation, no?

I wondered why those where on bikes.

Ben... I can do that but you need to promise to leave the roadside sheep and cows alone. I hear you have been a very bad boy again!

Hope you've been well my friend.

Mr Wizard, looking for someone to upgrade my 2004 Electra Glide Classic. Already built up to a 95 but looking for quieter and faster. Who would you recommend?
