Came across this article that I thought was interesting about testing bikes at the strip.

Yeah, I can see that's gonna' get a lot of responses!

 

I take delivery of a new RGU later this week with a dealer installed stage 1. I can't wait!

 

Link is broken.

 

I fixed the link guys.

It says a stock 107 steet glide ran 13.70's
stage one ran 13.31
stage two ran 13.09
stage three ran 12.70

The stage three bike was a roadking so that may have skewed the results. Looks like the bikes had the torque cams.

 

Thank you !

Interesting, thank you.

 

Thanks for fixing the link. Interesting article. I spent tons on my old 103" motor and just did the standard stage 1 (with HD tune) on my new 107". I don't know much but man my new bike just seems to pull harder and harder. Way stronger across the rev range than my previous twin cam. So the article make sense to me. I am stopping at stage 1. Finally a bike I can do what I would call a basic upgrade and be able to stop spending money and be very happy. Good job HD.

 

Would need to see the weight on each bike but you are correct , that the lightest bike was used for the Stage III and that will skew the results.

 

Yeah, I wanted to go big jugs, hey, who doesn't like big jugs but, stage 1 on my SG RIPS! Holy **** this thing is responsive, I thing instead of the big jugs I'll black out the engine and forks.
