I'm not sure what you mean by that, " do the same" what on your stock bike,?
Personally I like the stripped down look, I considered paring down my Touring at one point, but realized it would be silly, the wrong bike for that, I'd be better off swapping motors with a Roadster. A Rocket bobber would be pretty cool.
Claviger, that’s a big bet doesn’t the new Rocket stock have over 200hp and torque? And lighter
170 to 180hp I think so close would be the how good the rider is?
Do you have Nev cams and pistons?
Or is it the carpenters kits?
I am struggling what one I’m going to put in my bike,just want to see how much my custom work will be before I decide.
The "over 168hp and over 16x lbft" leaves a lot of room to be sure. Mufasa is lighter than the TFC and has 1 less shift to get top speed, isn't limited, has a quick shifter etc. I'd have to like fall off to lose lol. As I said, it's not fair comparing a modified bike to a stocker, I don't have to worry about warranty rates, sales numbers, liability etc, Triumph does.
I'm sure the new R3 will be anything but slow, it's still going to be a solid 10 second bike and I predict 130mph traps, roughly. Putting it ahead of every cruiser but the Vmax and Disvels, and smoking a lot of sportbikes.
