Wow, fancy adding this to your post.

I was gonna respond to your hype about motors but I dont think you are worth it.

No matter what you ride there is no way this is acceptable to make light of.

Ok , right ban me cause i poke at your so superior S&S 124"" big deal. All your going to talk about is how superior the S&S engines are. OLd news in our country Friend,plenty of other engine manufacturers that have pushed S&S back a ways. Just playing with your mentality on this stupid topic.

Yeah, I don't get the death thing here. I thought the poster meant they were figuratively killed by being beaten in a race.


Nevertheless, I can't tell which one of you can **** further..........................

Oh, something must be lost in the translation from Yank to Aussie. Being killed here means you get put in a box and lowered into the ground. Apologies.

It's almost a daily driver. Rivera Primo Clutch stiffened up a LOT. Spacers went in. Clutch pull reduced by ~30%. [not measured]

Did a quick speed run, had 'er up to 126 MPH. Had more to go. Gotta love interstates.

Paid in full.

Priceless.
I don't think the super trapp is holding you back that much those are respectable numbers. Good pipe selection I suspect for your application.

And +1 on the 125 MPH..mine definately has quite a bit more.

Did you do anything during your break-in other than just ride it? Like oil change at 500miles or kept the rpm under or varied the speed or rode city and hwy for Xmiles.

I think there is more in there (125 mph) but don't tell the wife or my mother...

Ha ha.

I had to ride it ~70 mi from dealer to home. I did an oil change with the scavenger system. I put amsoil in. Oh and I have a really powerful magnet on the oil filter at all times.

Lonewolf tuned it after and I did another oilchange.

Now summer is here!!
