Glad you said that, I was getting all confused because of the right exit pipes.

That turbo is fucken hideous, and would be way less efficient than it could be mounted so far away from the heads.

What the hell are they thinking?

I've seen a tidy turbo set-up on a Sporty, it was mounted just on front of where the carb usually sits.

Yeah, there's tidy bolt on kits for them.

It's a heavily modified cruiser. Still has a cruiser engine.

Actually its not. As a "cruiser" engine V-twins are horrible. The shake and rattle.
A boxer 4 or inline 4 would be a better cruiser engine. Or boxer/inline 6.

The biggest and best "cruiser" cars were actually straight 8's.

Yamaha did just that, but didnt stage 2 or 3 it..... Stage 3 about 175nm and 110-115bhp

I've often thought the same thing.

Have you two considered getting married? Because you're both talking utter shit.

Just out of interest, how many cruisers have you actually ridden?

Someone offered me a ride on a big block - I could flat foot both boots, but couldn't reach the footpegs or handlebars !

Never, they're too heavy for me.

You might wanna hold back on offering opinion then.

A low revving twin is good in a cruiser. Big torque and slow revving is perfectly smooth enough when used for it's intended purpose.

A Harley will jump around at idle, but sitting at 1500-3000rpm they're happy as a pig in shit.

Try the Softail with the balance shafts mate. Don't bounce around at all.

I like the way they walk of down the road when resting on the sidestand!

Softails don't Bro.

That'd be a good reason for me not to get a soft tail.

It's a pity really. I'm too young to have capitalised on getting a 'shovel' before the price went bonkers.
