What do you look for when you do a performance mod? An increase in performance, I know, but how much? What, if anything, do you use to justify the cost of the mod? HP? Torque? Track times? Grin-factor?
Reason I ask: My bike is ~50 hp or maybe a bit LESS in stock form at the rear wheel. Would a 5 hp gain (a 10% increase in performance!!!) really be that noticeable? What about nearly 7 HP? (~13% increase in performance)
How much should one pay for an easily attainable 10-13% increase in HP? Yeah, yeah, it's a cruiser....and who races cruisers, right?
Btw, my bike isn't a HD (but a lot of you knew this already)..but this is a question for all. You can do performance mods to virtually any bike.
