Default new woods 555-6r cam vs Busa

Just picked up my 06 RKC today, had woods 555-6R cams, hydro oil pump and adj push rods installed. Well after leaving the Dealer I was at a stop light and this Busa pulls up and glances at me, well knowing I have a buas killer now I looked back and nodded. The light changed and I hit the gas hard and off I went, well nothing but tail-lights and crying, in about 5 sec I could not see him anymore. I mean I could not see his tail-light anymore. Ha ha. I am very happy with my new wood cams and will not run a busa again. Thanks to all @ Bayside Harley-Davidson ,Portsmouth VA.

He was operating a ballistic missile.

Even with the mods you have an 88 ci. is no match for a Busa, especially when the 88 is in an eight hundred pound sled. Now if you put a Dyna with a 117" or a 120" up against one things start to look a little different, especially say stop light to stop light. If you're making 140 ft/lb of torque at 3000 rpm it really screws with bikes that have max torque and max hp within 1000 rpm of each other. They will still probably get ya if the race is more than a thousand feet.

I've had a Busa and a ZX12 all I can say is I have more fun with the Harley! I just wish I kept the 12 for track days. Those bikes are like women, "no matter how much you give them, they want more." Lol

Harleys are slower than 'Busas so everyone can see how much cooler you look on one.

If I rode something that looked like a cross-training Nyke sneaker, I'd wanna get the hell outta anyone's eyesight as fast as possible too!

Nice! I have a buddy with a Ducati 900SS and the exact same thing happened, we got a good kick out of it. Smithfield has some backroads that are just a dream to cruise around on for hours. I will have to make a trip down to Bayside, I haven't been to that one yet; I've only ever dealt with Hampton Roads HD and they are good people.

Default Just joking

I was joking, just trying to be funny. I am new but I know better than to do that. I do think it pulls better and the exhaust is louder. Again the folks at fuel moto for the parts and Bayside H-D for installing were very nice to work with.

He probably thought to himself for 4 seconds "Is he really serious" Then launched it. That was the last second.
