Sometimes I ride with a guy that has an 883 sportster. I don't rub his nose in it all the time, but I can't help running off and leaving him some. He is getting a 1200 kit put in and also a screaming eagle air filter. I suspect his plan is to be able to run with the rocket. I still won't have any problem with him I don't think. will follow up with results. Mine is stock except for tors and tors tune.
He doesn't say but I think he is paying a fortune for that 1200 kit install.
 
I do the same thing with a mate and his 1200 Vulcan
 
had a little 883 was a nice in town machine. on the hwy it ran 65 mph @ 3000. and vibrated your as$ numb in about 80 miles.
that's why i have the rocket.
 
haha I do the same with the coppers on the highway
 
Once he's spent all the money and finished polishing his air cleaner, consistently suggest rides that are that little bit further than he can go on a tank.
 
No chance, there is no way he can ever touch a Rocket.
Maybe if he would install an additional blower on top of the 1200 kit.
But even that would barely make him equal, and for that money he could just buy a Rocket and put it in his garage next to the Sportster.
 
The fact you would even consider ANY comparison with a Sporster is an insult to a Rocket!
Shame, shame, shame!
