Oh **** here we go...


Oh shitt here we go!!!

 

It's a free upgrade improving relative power-to-weight ratios, suspension and braking.

Same goes for the rider too it they do too, but you don't seem slimming topics on this forum!

I don't think the "because he can" answer is such a good one. The rubber mount engine is a plus, size is definitely a plus (if you're bigger), there's a sort of obstinate, perverse pleasure in building a sleeper that looks and works as a touring bike but will surprise most average riders on much more recent sports bikes ... to a degree.

But, otherwise you are right. "Performancing" a Harley is like becoming a sumo wrestler and then taking up sprinting. Check out RB Racing's turbo Orca bikes for where it all ends.

 

Dont know why you werent given a good answer right away, but thats a legit question.

Yes, the touring frame is superior to the dyna frame. Shares some similarities with the FXR. You can google their frames, but the touring frame (I believe) is more rigid and stable. I assume they also did it "just because" to show what they can do, being a shop. That weight claim is total BS by the way. No way that is down to 400lbs, but I digress.

As for weight savings...less weight, the less HP needed to move it the same speed. So lowering the weight and keeping the HP the same, is essentially adding HP. Example: 500hp in a motor home vs 500hp in a go kart. (Power to weight ratio.)

 

Why is Big Bear the only one to offer the Ohlins sliders in black?

 

Hey SnoRider I don't have a problem with your post, I saw that you ask a reasonable question and I'll give you my reasonable answer. Now I cant speak for every body, but as for me I smashed the first Harley I ever had, a Dyna Wide Glide. Now it was just right for me by myself, but with me and my wife, it was too small. So when I went looking for another bike, I wanted another Dyna, but I wanted my wife to be comfortable more than me, so I tried to make a Road King into a Dyna, and I feel like I got about as close as any body could, and I feel like I got the best of both worlds. However after seeing post 26 I don't think my RKC will ever be a crotch rocket, but His bike is very unique, and I say that with no disrespect whatsoever.

I never understood the whole "you can't even see it" crowd when it comes to back wheels. That is a good lookin bike other than that too.
