VERY NICE Steve! I know you are enjoying that torque! Very impressive numbers per $$$$. I see the dyno gremlins are lurking really close. But you know, best of all, you did it yourself. There is alot to be said for that. Again, congrats on a sweet build and some great numbers!

I'm happy with it for sure.........it feels like a whole new bike now. Once I make the tour-pak detachable, that will make the bike 50 lbs lighter and feel quicker still. And if I could drop 50 lbs..........man this thing would be a rocket...........LOL

I never really considered the effects of overall weight on bagger performance. A stock Streetglide weighs in at 75 lbs less than an Ultra. Wonder just how much difference it can make when you figure rider weight into the equation?

50 lb tour-pak + my 100 lbs over my buddy = 150 lbs extra weight
If he had the same build & numbers.............he would beat me all day long
I figure my bike with me on it is about 1000 lbs, if I could take away 100 lbs of weight..............that's a 10% reduction which is huge.
So 50 lb tourpak and if I can drop 40-50 lbs............I'll be doing very good on the street.

That what I've always hear to. To compete with a car 5oo lbs lighter you'ed need 50 or 60 more horses than him, of course this is staight up roll off, outta the hole is a different can of worms 
Steve you look like me losing 50 lbs isn't outta the question and according to Oprah we'd gain two inches [sm=happy046.gif]
