Little more umph needed, got suggestions? 2 Months ago
|
|
|
One of my riding buddies with a stock '07 Roadie is tired of his dad's VTX and some Harleys he rides with pulling away from him. He wants some more umph. My suggestion to just ride what you have and enjoy it didn't go over too good.
Anyone have any suggestions for what he should do to pick up the umph for $800 to $1000? $1000 is about his limit right now. Thanks for any help.

pipes, hi flo air, ported manifold and 31 tooth pulley and he should be a rocket ship compared to his stock setup

the 31 tooth pulley would be the front pulley on the transfer case
I also know that my friends and many guys i know that have really fast harleys like to tear down their engines and build them or have em built with hi performance parts...couple that with a six speed transmission like the new ones... even a small motor with really good gearing can be pretty dang fast... the vtx is just a really really fast bike and harleys are just made differently
