    A local Buddy had challenged me to race his 2005 fxdx Harley bike, he bored out his motor to 116 cubic inches and is pumping out 138 Hp. He has also got a Thunder Header. My Qc got cats delete, Gibsons, Stage2 100 octane tune, caltracs. He wants to race on top end as well. He thinks it would be a interesting race. But I have no Clue on modded Harleys:dontknow: What do you guys think.

    Yeppers , a stock 74" shovel head wih a 56 tooth rear sprocket will turn in the 11 sec. bracket, so with his mods you should be toast.

    The power to weight ratio of a motorcycle makes it an unfair race. Get a motorcycle and race him, or tell him to get a truck. That way it's apples to apples.

    800lbs with 138hp is 5.7lbs per hp, your truck is about 5600lbs with you in it 460hp at the wheels is 12.17hp per pound......

    I am , it was backed up with an 11.22 in 1978( in Washington), It was a supeglide out of Florida( daily rider). The bike had about 40,000 miles on it with a new top end,stock bendix carb,stock lowrider headers, and a sifton cam, i believe it was a 412 ( legal for stock class)

    You would be amazed what a gearing change can do for a big twin.:rock:

    On a big twin maybe , but on a built sportster .............. no contest.
    a 98" sporty went 198mph at Bonneville in the late 70's. It was ridden to the flats and ridden home to Kansas. also with a micro fairing and jetted for alcohol it went 202mph.

    That is why a shovel is still the prefered setup for drag racing, the evo,s never were able to compete.Have not followed the v rods performance cause the shovel head is a proven performer.

    The World's Fastest Indian
    New Zealander Burt Munro was a motorcycle land-speed record-holder of the 1960s. One of his dreams was to run his homebuilt 1920 Indian Scout motorcycle, dubbed the Munro Special, on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. He saved for years in spite of limited means to make the trip to America. He finally came over on a shoestring budget in 1962. Munro was 63 at the time with a bad heart, yet he still managed to overcome numerous obstacles to set world records, even as a muffler was burning the flesh on his leg. In 1967, Munro coaxed his beloved streamlined Indian to 183.58 mph. That set a record in the category of "streamlined motorcycles under 1,000cc." To qualify, he made a one-way run of 190.07 mph, the fastest ever officially recorded speed on an Indian.
