Hi Everyone, I am new to this forum and this is my first post. I've got a 07 Streetglide and am having the motor built. I am wondering what kind of Horsepower and Torque numbers I should expect. My components are SE 110 inch heads and cylinders, not sure about the pistons. The heads are being ported and flowed, 50mm throttle body and SE260 cams. I am running Reinhard tru-duals for exhaust and a racing clutch. I am not sure which lifter set-up they are using. The mechanic that is working on it said it will have close to 11 to 1 compression. The crank has been re-enforced by some welding, I am not sure of the process. At this point , I will add that I am bartering for this work with the dealer and the parts and service guys basically chose my components for me after I told them what I wanted in terms of performance. The only thing that they did that did not match my request is keep the compression in the low 10's so I would not have detonation issues when riding two up with bags loaded. I would appreciate hearing from those of you that have experience with builds of this type. My target numbers were 115 hp and 115 foot pounds of torque. Is this realistic?
We are bartering some custom airbrushing for the motor build.My wife does some pretty good airbrush work (www.pamelashanteau.com) The HD dealer (Roeder HD in Sandusky Ohio) is one of our vendors and they have a good reputation for speed work. The parts and service guys told me that they would hook us up, so I did not pick out the parts combo myself. I have confidence in their abilities but I figured that there were some guys here that had experience with the type of build I am getting and I wanted to hear what they had to say.
Thanks for responding.
