Matt's machine shop has been recommended in Wales, GB of all places.  Starting a conversation with Matt regarding a 120" build on my 110".  Will send his recommendations when they arrive.  Dealer's not really interested in a Jims or a build only a new 120" screamin eagle motor. 

When do the big boys head to head?  May take a trip on a plane

Cheers

If you want POWER, go buy a GXR or CB1000RR and get some real power.  These are just touring bikes, ya know!

HEY
Maude the trailer queen has seen better days.
In the twisties, at the drag strip or wide open the 09 SEUC don't care.
The 09 SEUC is not a "Prima Donna" like Maude, at 44K miles the 09 SEUC has seen it all.
And not from the inside of some cute little trailer.
No regrets there!

Seen better days?  Just because Unbalanced pulled away from the Ol' Girl with his 200 in., 200 HP Road Queen, Maudie needs to be retired?  You're full of it, Chip.  Nobody has come around Ol' Maudie in a hard run.  I ran soooooooo fast Saturday on 276, I think I ran out of Gear.  Do the Math for me, Professor, how fast is 5500 RPM in 6th gear?  She'll retire when I do.  Later--HUBBARD

Glad to see Hubbard back - sorry that i stopped the momentum 

Tennisman - fully agree.  It's a bit like why buy an old corvette with a big block when a new M3 will smoke it's azz?  Simple, we likes the look of the HD touring bikes and want some more up, up and go. And, let's be fair, no Jap will ever have soul or heritage for that matter.

Go back and see Neal at Tilleys.
If your telling us that motor will only pull 5500 in 6th you need more gear.
Hell my 09 SEUC will do that. And it's a candy ass wimpy 110 that subject to flying apart at any time.
And while your at it get you a GPS for the bike, those wild claims of 140+ will all go away with the GPS.

No problem there, twisties, 1/4 mile or WFO, my money is on a John Sachs build.

You'd be a great politician, the way you twist chit around.  I did not imply she quit pullin' at 5500.  I simply wanted to know my true MPH at that RPM.  I can only calculate speeds for Commercial Trucks.  I don't have the final drive ratio for Harleys, or the sidewall measurement from the rim to the ground, as Ol' Maudie is resting in the Garage.  I thought you did, and could calculate it for me with minimal effort, as you are more informed in these matters than I.  However, don't put yourself out.  I'll do it myself.  I'm sure John Sachs knows his business, and I respect that.  But hell, Derek Cope won a Race once.  Now, twist that to suit you.   Later--HUBBARD
