Re: 110 mph?From: "Rick Denham" <slide@charter.net> Next Article (by Author): The XL GESTER patch (defined again) Roadkill From Lee >I love these threads. Full of guys coming damn near to the LSR records on stock bikes. The thing is, speedometers are not accurate at 100, they are barely accurate at 55. It's truly amazing how fast some folks think they can go. I can remember being at Maxton [ECTA] LSR and running in the 130's early on and some guy rides up in a truck , ask how fast is that sportster and i say 138 mph . He then tells me about his FLH that will go that fast. Once I got in the 150's it kinda has dwindled off, tho there are still a few guys thinking a stock HD with a 96 or 103" kit is as fast. I did see a stock 883 [ N4 cams & breathing ] run 130's . A good tuned sportster 883 should run close to 120 clean. A 1200 more. Disclaimer Folks 100+ is not for the streets, deserted or not, a dog, grandpa, joes muffler, anything can screw up a good run. Oh yea, that high speed wobble will get your attention. I'm guilty, sometimes i like scaring the shit out of myself. Do it on the dyno or track, pls. Slide ~ Next Article (by Author): The XL GESTER patch (defined again) Roadkill |
