My brother and I both own Valkyries, He purchased a 2008 R3T cream puff with 1500 miles a couple weeks ago. When we ride together It always ends up to be a race. I did some research on this site and found that the R3T has a 120 MPH speed limiter. So I expected to win on the top end since I've had my Valkyrie up to 130 MPH several times. What really surprized us both is while starting from a 10 MPH kick down my Valkyrie Tourer pulled further ahead of the R3T in every gear. Needless to say he felt bad and strangly enough so did I. He talked about trading it in a few years for something faster.
I know the R3T is a detuned version of the R3 and the Valkyrie is no match for the R3. He needed the hard bags and windshield and preferred the looks of the R3T but needs the power of the R3. So my question is what Mods can we do to the R3T to get it up to speed without spending a fortune. I know new exhaust is going to be on top of the list so what aftermarket exhaust is the best ? Air cleaner ? ect...
When his R3T spanks my Valkyrie I'll be interested in getting one too.
Thanks in advance
