As i'm reading this thread I keep looking to the title.

"Jester Decor's Night Rod Special"

Will Cheri be riding this?

Nancy was hoping to have a new riding buddy!

I like them. I wonder if they make the turn out ones baffled?

Wonder what the easyist  way to get a decent tune would be? SERT....Map? PCIII?? Map?

She still plans to be a BSR. She's the lien holder.

Ken/Cheri,
Great bike! Love the blacked outed look.  Best of luck with it.

PS. I have both the full size and low backrest, love the look of the low one but Terry is right can't put anything on the luggage rack.

Mi amigo Ken....you got a nice looking bike......I didn't install any rack on mine. Since Martha doesn't like to ride this one I placed the luggage in the back seat and tied with the back rest pad and of this way I got support in my back in my recent trip to Daytona for the Biketoberfest.....

For exhaust I would recommend the D&D..........good combination with K&N air filter and SERT

Again congrats.

Chip...not answering for Jorge, but the 1250 with whatever pipe you choose typically puts anywhere from 110 - 120 HP on the rear wheel, and 72 - 80 TQ.  A lot depends on whether you open the air box by going without the top, semi-topless, or leave the top on, even with the K&N.  And, as we all know, it depends on what dyno you're using and what kind of tune you get.  A lot of numbers I see on the vrod forum are questionable...happy dyno syndrome.  I tuned mine for drivability and decent fuel milage, rather than absolute peak numbers, and got 110/76, if I remember correctly.  It's bunches of fast revving power, no matter what you do.  They rate them at the crank at 125/85, if I'm not mistaken, so taking away 15% or a little more is a good rule of thumb for the drivetrain losses and turning that 240 tire.  A supercharger will get you numbers near or above the 150 mark.
