I had an 06' my brother has millenium, anyway long story short we ride them like we stole them when together, his 1600 against my 1700 and i would just get that bike length and slowly pull away if we had safe space to keep playing. After major accident in 09,(it had 45,000ish miles on it) I got Stratoliner 09' his first trip with me and he calls me a F***ing A**hole, I go what, he says that thing walked on him. Anyway hasn't been a single Screamin Chicken that has beat me I just ride, no races.
My RoadStar kept with the best of them and now, I leave them behind.

Ride Safe

Yeah, who is doing the driving would make up for a lot of motor. I know my springer would wax my R*, that thing has crazy torque. If it were a 100 mile race, Roadie all day!
If you're talking about a heritage springer with 88 ci no offense but there's something wrong with your roadie

No I haven't had a dyno yet my back went out only got 600 miles on it 400 miles to go before he will even touch it and yes on the Patrick racing But I didn't go with the cams I wanted to keep my reliability but with the over size valves and Patrick racing springs ported heads and a 31 tooth pulley she runs real strong
