FLHTCUSE3,

"Now that was fun and I know I was not mistaken on this."

NOT MY WORDS !

So you're telling me you don't have any pictures either ?

And you're right, it only happened once, like you ?  

But I have put 10,000 more miles on my bike which should make it much easier.

Anyway I see your name on the list for York ?

Please don't turn on your movie camera should we meet up on the road !

Just my expierence, but I have a 2002 Deuce. My stock Deuce clutch with modified motor lost bite well below 100 ft lbs of torque, so a forth gear power shift would let the motor rev pretty good without much acceleration. Felt very much the same as wheel spin, only no burnt rubber smell. A SE pressure plate combined with a VPC unit stopped that nonsense.

At about 102 HP and 106 TQ it would do a second gear wheelstand in the rain and throw up a rouster tail on wet pavement at the same time. It's now pushing out close to 115/115 and occassionally will pull the front tire up a little in third gear power shifts, but only an inch or so. Depending on conditions (sand, oil, or water) it will occasionally spin a tire in 4th gear, but only for a second or less. That's with a 180 or 200 x 18 rear tire. My guess is that a 4th gear tire spin (on dry clean pavement) of any magnitude on a Deuce would require it to be pumping out close to 125/135 hp/tq. That's just my guess.

Now, I just traded an 02 Sporty that would do wheelies in 4 out of 5 gears. It was a barely modified 1200. It also required "hot" pavement to bite enough for front end lift, otherwise it would spin in first four gears. We are only talking about a 500 lb bike with a skinny rear tire however. A Deuce is about 670? lbs without the rider.

Jimbob,

Thanks for the kind entry.

The one thing that seems to evade most everyone with a LITTLE MOUTH
is they haven't considered the fact that I am not talking about HP.

I'm talking about landing a shift @4500 rpm's that breaks the rear wheel
loose at the same time I have cracked the throttle.

Because most everyone with a LITTLE MOUTH has kept me busy with replies
no one has heard what happened when I slammed it back into 5th !

It slowed down to 50mph @4500 rpm's, because I backed off, slammed
into 5th, cracked the throttle again, got wheel spin about 2 full seconds
before it launched me to @95mph in about 3 1/2 more seconds.  The
Springer SE seat is the only reason I stayed on with its deep design.

It's true that I thought at first I blew the clutch or tranny is why I backed
off, still in full burn.  So I quickly decided to get a real warranty when I
slammed into 5th, for the launch then told me I was in full burn all thru 4th.

Somewhere there is a deadheaded old red flatbed truck driver out there
that nobody believes either. PA Route 22 E between Cresson and the Summit.
I noticed him watching me in his mirror when I pulled behind him in his lane,
while in full burn.  I took the shot which did take a few seconds to hook up.
I covered the length of that flatbed in about one second @90-95mph when
I had to shut down just as I passed him. Due to the fact that I couldn't lean
the bike to steer it away from the median I was headed for.

The MOCO got this bike right.  It appears that I am the only one who has
taken it to its outside edge.  Any 07's out there with 16,500 miles or more
living on the East coast?

Can't wait for the LITTLE MOUTH analogies on that 5th gear fact !

I plan on only doing this one more time, and maybe someone I like could
find a place to put the video stream.

[CVOMOE!!]

I'm not playing anymore.  It's getting silly.  I would rather have a LITTLE MOUTH though than a GREAT BIG ONE!

Regards, MOE!

Hmmm....right now it seems like it is ONLY you!
