[quote=Nathang;97715]Nitrous. If you have a place to mount a tank,
that's the most practical option.

Nitrous is a good reason to consider some bags.

It would be cheaper by far, it will get you more power
than you can handle, and it's only there when you want it.

Won't effect cruising, mileage, commuting,
any of the times you're not being nuts.[/QUOTE]



ummm, I may be offended, define "being nuts"

...define "being nuts"
When you take a minute to turn on the " +70 HP " bottle,
I'd say that means you intend to go nuts for a bit...


One of these days, I'll do that myself, but at a much less nutty level,
so's I can use it a lot more.

I think a 10hp shot any time the throttle opens wide enough
to trigger "manifold vacuum is zero" switch

and about another 20 hp at WFO might be tolerable nuttiness.

Debating on whether I should take this engine to its maximum output (which is?) or upgrade to a larger HOG, I love how easy this bike can be thrown around though so I think I would rather see how much I can get out of a engine in this frame. What about a Nitro kit?
Any and all ideas would be greatly appreciated but having said that this is a street bike and my first HOG, so I also need it to be tame enough that I don't have to screw with it all the time. I would rather ride than wrench!!
Thanks Bear
This may help, check out ZIPPERS PERFORMANCE . 100" kit, should be plenty! and it's a sporty engine. if that's too big there's the 99" with no frame mods.

Yeah....but what would one pay for the paint work you have, Josh? I think that kinda ups the value a tad more......
