Default 170 HP Harley

Today, at the toy run, this guy has a custom 170 horse power Harley (if you can call it a Harley) with a blower. He said he only has taken it to 110 mph because she begins to " flex" since she is so stretch out. Cost; $ 75k to build. He did most of the work himself. Crazy.

I love how the blower is tucked in so tightly.

However, that is the wrong chassis for that blown S & S!

Looks great but not sure I understand the logic of having such an imbalance between installed power, braking capability and handling capability

I guess I fall in the camp of "if it needs explaining you don't get it". Each to their own

Kind of raises the question, what's the point?

It is pretty though.

Looks more like a chopper instead of a Harley
