Default Big inch baggers

It seems I have a subject no one wants to talk about,Big inch baggers.I have so enjoyed my 124" Evo Road King for the last three years,that another is in the works.This time a 155" TC Road King.All I want, is to shoot the breeze about your experiences,gearing,tires,exhaust etc.Once I figure out how to post pictures,there will be a few to look at.Where are all you Hot Rodders?

Wecome dog155, mines not that big of a bagger but someday it will be. Maybe the S&S TC 124" or what ever looks the most reliable in about three years from now.

I'm in the process of having a 114 cui build done at GMR Performance, not quite in the same league as dog155, but it will be the biggest thing that I have ever ridden. I'll give y'all a report soon as she is on the road.

A 155" RK...big deal...seems kinda senseless. But hey, it's your sense and cash...not even the least bit impressed. Have fun rebuilding it when the grenade goes off! What impresses me is a guy that can build a motor himself, not spend a fortune, AND have power, decent fuel economy, & a reliable, rideable bagger in the end. On the other hand a high comp, big inch, race motor is cool...on a drag strip...where it really matters...but on a TC bagger? Get real!
