From Wing back to HD but with HQ build

Geez - aren't the GW's a 6 cyl? Those numbers seem LOW for a 6. Also - trying to match the power of a 6 when limited to 2 cyl is a hard endeavor to say the least...
How much power do you REALLY need? Is down shifting to 4th to pass or climb really a bad thing? My wife and I go 300-350 (she won't tell me what she really weighs) and my 88 handles it just fine. Its not stock...and I never want for more power.
Hell, I've never driven a car or truck that didnt require downshifts at some point. Shifting is fun anyways.

Go find and older EVO bagger, spend a little and fix it up and drop a 125 CI Revtech in it. Power to beat he!!. I weigh 230 with my 100 lb wife on the back I can pull away in 6th gear (revtech) easily. Roll on the throttle at 60 no prob, 70 no prob, 80 no prob. even at 100 it will still pull away. And still pull in 30-35 MPG when riding easy.

I'd say a least a 113 will give you good torque and power your looking for. Whether it be from HQ or Hillside, Tman, gmr. You can call anyone of the and tell them what your wanting and they will compose a set-up for what you are looking for from mild to wild. But I'd go with at least a 113 or bigger for you. I have the HQ107ST I just installed last week and it runs very well for me. It depends on how fts you want to get to 90mph when passing. I weigh about 165. The HQ 107 is getting around 115tq 115hp. Good luck.
