yeah... it is TOTALLY unrealistic out of the box but, with victory and others are putting on the pressure... hd is going to have to do something soon. may happen in the next few years. competition is getting crazy in that segment

a NEW 100hp sport will run you about $17k... no way in he** i'd pay that... that is 4 times what i paid for mine with 187 miles on it. i wouldn't want that kinda power in a sporty.

proof pudding...

stage 4 for give on factory lean tune.. power vision will free the rest up past 100. you will have an unstable hand grenade with wheels.

can be done for about a grand on a $5000 beater by using hammer parts

That is a sweet bike, for sure. Did you pay extra for all the goodies, or just bike value?

FWIW, $20K for a Sportster is just too much to spend. Here's what I wish they would build, a standard motorcycle, example in this case, a '60, with '61 exhaust, but with brake, etc upgrades. Never gonna happen. The closest to that in a Dyna, in a while, was the FXDC, and it is gone.

Thanks dude, it's the factory Candy Voodoo Purple. Pictures just don't do the color justice either.

is that not a perty sportster?

mine was a sportster "standard" (xlcn) before i got to it. the roadster is the revival of the ... well... roadster or 883r/1200r both had beastly brakes and one had a 2-1 pipe. the roadster is serious business, just not 100 hp business. you can coax out 80 easy with a great stage 1 combo and tune. 100 = cams and headwork... that's basically what the stage 4 is. the 60's pipes... i'm sure a motivated welder can conver an old pair or fab some for you

hammer performance can deliver that and 1/4 the price of the hd kit.

I started a new thread in the hopes you all could help me identify the parts as I really do not know.

Talking New Vance and Hines Pro Pipe 2 into 1

My 2010 Dyna Super Glide seemed to run strong but loud (even for a Harley), and the decel pop & burble was excessive. After a lot of research and more than few strong opinions from this Forum I bit the bullet and ordered the Vance and Hines Pro Pipe 2 into 1. At $649 {from DK Custom Products}, it wasn't cheap. My local independent mechanic, Barry Johnston of HD First in Oracle, installed it this morning for a very reasonable 2 hours at $75 per.

The ride home was amazing and not nearly long enough but hey, it is headed for 107 today here in Tucson so I scurried home just after noon with an early morning ride set for tomorrow. Feels like more power but what do I know after just 20 miles. I do know that she purrs with a nice deep rich tone from idle through 6th. Here are a couple of pics:
