how true.rider weight etc .lot of deciding factors as to determine who is faster you may want to ask which one makes the most torque and who gets the power to the rear wheel
that would be the most accurate.

Factory 96 was a dog. I never knew I 'd have to upgrade so much just to get what I should out of the motor. I guess that is the brilliance of HD.

I can walk away from a stock 96". My mild 88" to 96" has more TQ, has it sooner, and has it longer. (You can view my TQ curve from the link in my sig.)

Aren't you comparing apples to oranges? do the same upgrades to a 96 as the 88 and compare then...

That's pretty much it. Get the specs on both being upgraded. I'd be interested in seeing those. No a bag on the guys with the 88's. Just wondering about the numbers and cost for either to do.
