I am going to campaign for a Street ridden Dresser Class at the Harley drags for next year...
I am fully capable of enjoying my 80" Shovel to ride... if I need more... I have a 10 second Sportster... be alot of fun to have a Street bagger...with a Decent Engine... to show off at the Harley Drags....
See ya there...

 

Not just nuts but nucking futs. I'd say why not ? My 80" has as much power as I can imagine needing and I agree most of the time I don't get to use what I have. Building a hot rod around that 111 could be fun though...

 

If you sell the 111, put the money back into the bike it currently is in. I know you have been itching for a reverse gear for a few years.

 

No your not nuts..... I like the fact that other riders can't believe the amount of power my Evo generates... Now that you have those heads you might as well put them to good use... A good set of pistons a cam and an S$S E and you'll forget all about that 111"er...

 

You need a third. Challenge your self.
See if you can get it under 450lbs

 

You know, I was more less keeping up with a guy who is known to ride hard and fast (chopper with S&S 111) , with my 92 FLHTCU. I thought my motor at least had a cam in it. Turns out it still had the factory N cam and the original bearing. Now it has an EV-13 and runs pretty darn nice. Nothing wrong with that old 80.

 

My second bike gets ridden less than a grand a year.
The third probably wouldn't be touched so no point in getting/building one IMO.

 

I can dig the idea.

I had a 140hp bike, and while a stock 80 doesn't tick all the boxes... one that's putting out 75 hp and 75ftlbs of torque is just about right for my taste these days. Doesn't have to break the rear tire loose, or make ya hesitate on dew covered roads in the morning with a sane amount of throttle applied.

 

yup, regular ole squirrel

 

I’s love q spare bike. Sporty perhaps?
Might have to break down and pick one up.
Then when one needs time to heal, or I just need a different pace for the day. I have an option.
Not a builder, but i have a four year old grandson. And he is LOL
