How does your system stack up?
#11
#12
If we use this set up as a generic standard (for discussion purposes) and put it at the top of the 1 to 10 scale. Where would a more standard setup fall in place on the scale?
Such as one with.
A good quality HU
A pair of 6.5 DD and horns In fairing
6.5 in lowers
A set of Pioneer 6900 in lids
With amp/amps to run them.
Think were getting closer.

I would say only use a competition build as your benchmark if you are trying to build a competition build yourself. The challenge for many guys is they don't know what the finish line looks like and can only base what think will be "it" for them based on what they read here.
I've been to many Pro competitions. Simply put, setting a "bar/level" is not a simple thing. Like others have said it's too subjective. Everyone that enters the competitions do so because they think theirs is the best setup. But that's why there's only 1 winner. When this winner enters the next competition he may become the loser and so on.

Simple thing. A competition is not moving. They are tuned, set, and designed for just that. Not saying one cannot be ridden and enjoyed, BUT it will have different adjustment made from normal riding to competition day. IMO you either build a system for a rider or for the lot. The lot bike can be ridden, but at a sacrifice the daily didn't take. Also keep in mind some of these big dog competition bikes are urban ridden, big shop owned and or built, no budget, monsters. So unless you bring your A game and leave some expansion room, you better know how and what to maximize ever piece of the system to even make it worth the effort of trying to compete.
