HD have made some cracking bikes, but sadly most American bikers didn't appreciate them.

I can tell right off that you have never ridden a K Model, was a pretty good flat track machine back before the days of the Japs.
All the Cafe Racer is is a 61cid [1000cc] sportster with a different body.

I wouldnt mind a V rod to play with, Think of all the bits I could bolt onto that sucker. I still say any one that says harleys are slow dont know shit, sure they arent a race bike but in a straight line they can be a weapon good enough to get your rocks off, Shit me old shovel use to beat me mates V8 torana and that bike was 20 years old,
if you havent ridden a modern big proformance V twin you are really missing something as these babys really do go hard, Stock they arent ever going to beat a jap sport bike but lets be real here and compare american v twin crusiers against jap crusiers and see there aint much in it.
And BG a Buell is a harely davidson even if it is slighly modifidy it came from the HD factory dint it.

Thank you Rigger for the parts you helped to bring in for me, we'll see if my little 900 Kawi can keep up with your Buell. 5555

0 - 160 klm/h smell my rubber, More HP more TQ and less weight. fok already smoked a few japs on it and it aint even running right. Wait until it comes back from the pros that are rebuilding and tuning my engine at the moment

Congrats on the bike, lots of potential in that bike, really looking forward to seeing what you end up doing to it

Yes, A Buell is a Hog, and I have had a couple of Hog cruisers that would surprise hell out of you and would outdo big jap cruisers pulling trailers on long runs that would walk away from the japs in the hills. Only had flowed heads and changed the cams and reworked the ignition modual.
But have never had an over cube HD that was dependable for shit. Had one blow 1000 miles from home and had to rent a pickup to haul the prick home and get it fixed.
Best thing is an Easy Breather and let it go at that.
\And you are correct in that they are not slow, but they will not do what the high cube japs will do either, but they are a different type MC and not built to be a Porsche, but I damn sure would hate to put 700 to over 1000 mile days on any jap I have ever seen.
From Sacramento to Salt Lake City and only stopped for gas and 2 times to eat, plus piss stops.

Yes but mine was built in 1998 in the usa, My old Ducati 900ss was built at the ferrari factory but it was still a Ducati

NRHS - High Performance for your Harley Twin Cam, Evolution, Sportster or Buell!

you can see here the power and tq that can be had from a buell engine, these are the guys I got most of my gear from, if you want to go extrem anything from 125 to 140 HP is possible with enough torq to pull a fore skin off a elephant. there is no reason why my buell when tuned could make 110 hp and 90 + ft/lbs

well we might just have to wait and see about that

1250cc and 100 plus hp with 30% more torq than your chop with a Z900 engine and at a guess 20% lighter, now you do have more pistons than me and carbs, fok all I got is one big one you get 4

look forward to testing them out, when you starting the engine mods ?

I think he means DYNO, and you sure as hell should have over 100 HP as that engine sounds awsome to me.

Sorry for the miss spelling, maybe I was talking DYNO tune like something for your bike:

Of course you have more money and the PROS so you can go this route.

yeh I would think 110 hp if tuned right as the same mod engine with out the race ignition and single fire ignition can make 107hp. And please fix your drive way so I can crank it right up next time I drop in mate

Well boys, it's gettin interesting. Figure there's only one way to work it all out.
I'm thinkin there's at least one party in all this bench racin'.

I might even have my heads, carb and cam sorted by the time Riggers gets his NEW! IMPROVED! Buell outta the shop. I might even be able to join!

Dyno shoot outs are for pussies and rich people, stoplights are everywhere
