Living Legend
Don't get me wrong the Rocket by far is the best bike I have ever owned. The Harley (2010) Fatboy with 89,000 miles is a tough sell. Had it sold but about a month later it came back. The guy died from a heart attack and his wife asked if she could sell it back. So here we sit. Been looking and reading about the New Harley's just out of curiosity to see how they stack up. Not impressed. With all the new suspension and gizmos they seem to be missing a key ingredient. Horse Power and torque. So with that said, we have decided to come up with a New Years resolution. Build a fast Harley. Figure why not? The Fatboy as she sits runs 120 horse at the back wheel. Figure this motor is about shot so will go with a S&S 124 cubic inch as a building block. Primary is already beefed up to handle the horse power and torque. Transmission will be upgraded to a baker 7 speed. Figure with upgrades to the 124 should be easy to pull around 155 to 160 horse. Not bad for a Harley. Total cost around $10,000. That is just in parts. Kind of know my way around a Harley but still learning about the Rocket. Have the Knowledge and the money figure why not. A little more money and we can get a nice paint job. Kind of fired up over the Idea. Considering it. I just figure at 59 years old **** near 60 it would be awesome to have two hot rods on the front pourch. Best of both worlds. Pity the up "t" up on the Screaming Eagle Chicken baggier no matter which bike i ride. Figure after all mods done I'll break down and buy some ridiculous ape hangers for the Harley. This is going to be a good year.
