Just got back off of a 1684 mile run to the north GA mtns. Had a blast but had to avoid some weather the 1st and second day Leaving out of FL. Overall the run was great, Made our way east from FWB to Dothan AL then up to Chattanooga TN, down into GA, to helen and Dahlonega. Back up to Hiawassee across to SC then down to Savannah GA. The only interstate we used was 95 down to St Augustine. We followed the Gulf of Mexico home to FWB. Left seen the sights and made if home in 6 days. No night riding. Usually started at 9-10 am and stopped around 7-8pm. Since it was the ladies first run with us. They did great.
The red jester ran great, only problems were the seat heaters were not working on the coldest day of the ride, but turned out to be a wire connection. The air shocks went out the first day of the ride. They would not hold pressure for nothing. I even used the HD air pump to fill them, so I would not blow the seals. The great folks at Timms HD of Anderson SC, said that Harley used the cheap plastic fittings so there was possibly air blowing by on of the fittings.
I did have the Jester dynoed in Dahlonega GA by Motocycos. They are the mechanics for Hawg Halters of GA. I'll post the sheet on the dynos page but the first pull was 88hp at 98 tq. Set up is roll ur own a/c, v/h silp ons and fuel pack.
Not bad number for an almost stock bike. Second was 89hp and 99 tq.
I was rolling with a FLHX 95 Kit and a 06 SE ultra 103ci with $6 in cams, head work, tuning and exhaust. They still could not pull away from me. We were all loaded down. I had my wife and 100+ lbs of gear on board.
We ran between 80-100 mph almost everywhere we went just to make up time. But the motor ran strong and solid.
I'll post some pics.
