    Ok, now after an intense workout, I now know if whether or not I really need to upgrade my engine to a 98" or not. I had a chance to take BlackDangerous through some steep climbs. riding wing with people who are unfamiliar to you, and constantly having to downshift, upshift, I got a real good idea wherre the bike likes to be.

    My ass dyno says that I do need to give that bike a good engine boost. There are many things that lead me to this decision. When Hot Rider is on the bike, the 88 tc is just a snail and there is no way of getting around that fact.

    :roflmao:What are you saying about HR??? She slows the bike down when she's on it??:fight::brick:

    It's your set up JB, not that it's it's an 88" engine...Basically the TW37 cam with the compression you're running....even with the 4*advance it would still like a bump in compression,or a different cam...

    He won't listen.... now he's saying HR is the problem
    I think he's gonna be sleeping wid da bike for a while, ya should
    never say yer wife's the reason yer bikes underpowered ya know...

    Simple solution, get kirby to send you a set of bored over to 95 inch
    cylinders with the flat top HD SE pistons in it for 10 to 1 and make it a 95
    and the base power curve will come up, put on some .30 cometics and get a little
    more squish....

    Later when you do the heads you'll get the power, Leave the cams alone for now
    until you get ready,

    then again whadda I know...

    lol... good thing it's warm there,could get pretty cool in the house..

    That's the solution...but...if you're going to run your current set up, you're gonna have to drop a gear and keep the revs up.... 3000-3500 RPM's cruising speed shift point between 4000 and redline :roflmao: (between 4000-4500 really) it's the only was I can see you get some pull outta those cams in a stock 88"

    :roflmao::roflmao: man I was in lower gears and it seemed like it was still struggleing. I am serious, I thought that it would do better than that. Maybe I felt that way cause it was warm, I have no idea, but it sure did seem like it was struggling.

    Know he loved the bike he got.

    But I found a SE Road Glide for like 2000 more than the bike he bought, and it was like a 2 yr newer bike.
    He said I don't want it.
    It already had a SE 103 motor in it.
    Was thinkin then what he was gonna say and be going threw like he's doing now!
    He would of been a lot farther ahead of the ballgame.
    If you could only see this when you are younger.

    Nope. I was always a respectful, humble, courteous, clean-cut, quiet, sober, careful, church-going young man. OUCH! That lightning bolt hurt!!!!

    Yep, he don't listen when others give advice. Oh well learn by your mistakes. Sure wished I would have had some one giving me some advice when I was younger, would have made things easier.
