Personally I would prefer we discuss the general motor and carb modifications that still delivers great tq at lower revs.

I know I didn't specify that in the original question and yes, I think we are getting to the point where the best mods have been trialed, and the limits are being reached.

for most of us though (I'm assuming here) full blown race bike mods aren't my thing. Defeats the purpose IMHO of having a cruiser doesn't it.


Go on with it if you want, it's still interesting reading but I'd prefer we didn't go in a direction in this thread where most of us won't be taking part.

Btw, when I was younger I once had a older model car where I had a lumpy cam put in but I after a while I just wished I had my nice smooth idle back.

Similarly, I wouldn't want to fiddle with my bike to the point where I regretted having the more bum dyno performance because my bike didn't seem to run as smoothly or continually needed adjustments. Not my thing anymore. I'd rather keep what I've got ie a nice smooth running motor without any risks of problems.

Just my personal opinion.



I have had my Speedy up to 160 KPH on the speedo.

The benefits of going faster are what?

The pitfalls are no license!!!

I can keep up with all the guys that I ride with, Harleys, BMW, Yamaha Cruisers, loosing my license is not in the equation.
