Default Why does...

My bike run like a raped ape?

07 Street Glide 96' with TW-555, PCIII, Rhinehart TD, Kury Ventilator (i think thats what it is, looks like a stack), Energy One Clutches and SE heavy spring.

I've been able to run with SE 110 Baggers (I know they need some TLC)...
I on a regular hand it to 103s
My man has a Ultra w/S&S 106 with Andrews 54, the heads worked some gearing changes. Out the gate he gets out there maybe a bike or two and I walk him and come around in about mid to top of 4th, on roll ons we are right there together. His bike runs and he rides the $&@" of it...thats what we young former street bike riders do.

Debating to do Fuel Moto 107 in the off season...but hell i got the fastest 96 in these parts

You answered your own question. I am being nice here and wish I had the coin to build my motor up...

Some engines just run a little better than others right out of the gate. I know mine does. People come on here after doing their special projects to their bikes and are happy to have HP and torque in the 70s and 80s. When Doc tuned my bike he said it was in the top 5%, and all it has is a stage one and the HP and torque were 93 and 98. If you got it, enjoy it.

Watch out for those Hayabusa's, GSX's and Ninja's. I hear some of them are pretty fast, too.

I don't know, but since your bike is just a mild stage 2, nothing really special, I'd say it must be you, dude, you are the shiz.

I wish you were closer we could go for a ride and see how fast that 96 is.
