Aired last night, Klock Werks built the world fastest bagger in the biker build off show, then ran it at Bonneville salt flats for a new world record of 147 and it was a ROADGLIDE!!!! Now thats a fast bagger.
Watched it myself as well, pretty good looking bike. I must say that the record before his bike for the land speed was only 137MPH, although fast I would have thought it to be higher than that. Perhaps you can only qualify for this without turbo boost or other mods. I've had my stock '07 SG to about 120 with what felt like a little headroom to go but the bike was somewhat unstable at this speed.
Nonetheless, 147 is faster than hell for a bagger.
I take that back, I'm not running stock, but only have stage 1 upgrades
I thought 147mph was a little low for a claimed 180hp s&s but it takes a lot of hp to go a little faster @ those speeds but I thought it was a very good looking bike wish I had two!
One pic was of the bagger without the bags, but at the very end it has bags attached. It looks like they are smaller bags, but they are on the bike - no doubt about. If you taped it watch it again.

Man I sure hope dchoran watched that show. The other day he posted his 88" Ultra did 112MPH stock and then after pipes PCIII and A/c kit it would do 156MPH. I even called him out on it and he still insisted he did 156MPH. The dude must of been high on something. He hasn't posted sence.[sm=bustedsign.gif]
