    50% of nothing is still nothing I'll lend you my Bucket motor, that should double the HP

    I would just do the 95" kit, I have seen the barrels and pistons go for cheap on ebay.

    Hey Scumdog. Sell the HD and get a Bonnie, that way you will not only still look cool but you will go faster and can actually get around corners.

    Cheers

    Next thing somebody is going to say "Get a Jap bike" I suppose?

    The T-Sport rides smoothly, corners well and get the thumbs-up from Chrissie-Bimbo for pillion comfort.
    Only item needing 'adjusting' is the grunt (or lack of) and I'll address that in time.

    And what is cooler than a large H-D dripping with tassles?

    Get a real V twin rather than a split single.
    If you love it, let it go. If it comes back to you, you've just high-sided!

    "Tassles" OMG Maybe we are going to see the patrol cars dressed in them also. Now that would be cool. We'd all be laughing so much that we probably would'nt be speeding.
    Could be a new ploy to keep the road toll down. LOL

    Tassles are the motorbike equivalent of Billy Conolly 'wanker pants'

    Nothing useful to add Mr SD sir, but a Harley and performance - I can smell an oxymoron
