I have a superglide and i have to agree...plenty of power.
I MIGHT be able to make use of a 15-20% bump in power(i have an 88”) but it wouldn’t be utilized very often, that’s for sure. I’ve had mine up to 115 and that’s just silly. anything over 100mph is pointless especially if you have no windshield or fairing, which I don’t and dont want. I did have to change my handlebars to go that fast tho. With the stock bars I got a weave at about 85. I switched to a narrower set of bars and the weave disappeared. I took the bars off a 2000(i think) sportster-sport...it was only made a few years. Pretty soon I’m going to bore it out to a 4-1/8” bore, but keep the stock 4” stroke...then probably get rid of my high performance cams and go with a cam profiled for torque, and switch to a larger front pulley to drop RPMs @ 75MPH freeway speed. A harley motor feels/sounds better at low RPMs
Wow, that’s almost exactly the path that I’ve taken with my Sporty. At one time I had a real hopped up build with domed pistons, Screamin’ Eagle cams, Cobra open pipes and the SE ignition. It was way more than I needed or even wanted.
Currently it’s built around 1250cc dished pistons, Nalin N2 cams, Screamin’ Eagle mufflers and I kept the ignition but never get close to increased redline. Added an oil cooler just to keep it as cool as possible and changed the gearing on the final drive from 25t to 27t to bring down the RPM’s on the highway.
