So we all post threads on better performance more horsepower what aftermarket add ons do what and etc. It's often that we measure our gains with horsepower and torque gains. Lots of folks post their numbers in their signature, and i would do if my bike was ever on a dyno. What we forget is that bikes dont race on dynos and numbers are only numbers, find yourself next to me at a stoplight and see if your numbers save you then

So has anybody here had their bike see some track time? If so, what was your E.T. and trap speed and what mods do you have?

Thanks

 

I modified my Road King to minimize the time spent in the oncoming traffic lane when passing cars and trucks on two lane highways. To me, ETs and dyno charts are irrelevant to "real world" performance. JMO

 

Agree with both of you,numbers are just numbers,and been hot rodding Harleys for a lot of years only to please this cats need for speed.I prefer to call my machines sleepers,to the untrained eye they look stock,as does the tail light while the unsuspecting are watching it get smaller.

 

No, not to disregard your ?, but my touring bike does highway speeds just fine. I didn't buy it to travel 1/4 mile distances.

 

Mine goes faster than the speed limit and faster than I need it to. Beyond that is something I got over 20 years ago.

 

11.50's at 113 to 115 mph

Sportster, ported heads, chicken cams, 1250cc jugs, pipe and mikuni

 

Fast enough to give me butter flies in my gut when I dig in it, LOL Never been to the track, but a safe bet would be low 13's. Not as fast as my quad or the truck, but good enough haha

 

Holy crap! A quad will go that fast? Seriously, I had no idea. I've borrowed a 4-wheeler to pick up dead whitetails and that's it. That must be wild going that fast on one of those.

 

Mine will go as fast as a "scalded dog" ... or a "raped ape" ...

 

LOL, I should have been a little more clear. If I were to run both in just the 1/8 mile, 0-75 the quad will destroy the bike. I run out of gear well before the 1/4
