someone was telling me he saw a road king beat a vrod at the drags. he said road king had a 1550 kit? id never heard of it before. what is it?
There isn't a RoadKing made with a 1550 that could take my StreetRod ina drag. The only way for that to happen would be if the vrodder didn't know how to race. Roadkings are too heavy. I ran against a 124 S&S softail and was able to smoke him in the 1/4. he had me off the line, but I still beat him by 4/10th of a second with a low 11.
All of the above is good information however nobody has addressed the issue of the Road King beating a VRod in a drag race. I find this highly unlikely.
