Harley for 3 3/4 Years.

[big turkey]

New Technology in 2007, better designs and tranny.

Easy Clutch and easier transmission.

No oil consumption at all and no drips.

96 cubes of relentless power and longevity.

This is not your fathers Harley.

No trips to the service shop at all.

29,000 on the clock.



53,000 on the Valkyrie and ride both of them equally hard.


Let's see which one breaks down first.

[DIGGER]

are we taking bets?

[fudgie]

Wait till you hit 50k and your stator, compensator sproket, and timing chains goes. Then again this is on the TC88's.  After seeing all the work that needed done this year out west on them TC, it turned me off. May have to go for the Evo's instead.

[Crazyhorse]

If I still have my Electra Glide when she turns 50K I think I will pull the motor and puts some power componants in there and replace what's worn. I've put over 1000 miles on her in less than 3 weeks only 30K to go. Ride on Big Al.

9 years old,"Leaks? what is that" 100.000 mile warranty on the Magnacharger,,,200.000 mile Gold wing motor, Bike has 30.000 miles now just getting broke in, 150+ Hp up to 36 mpg, Low center gravity, Shop? what's that? never been in one of those, 4 years not turned a screwdriver on it, I think the stock tool kit is under the seat never needed it, And at bike events Very easy to find in the sea of HD's She still wins Trophy's and she is a GO bike not a Show bike, SOLD no desire to go V twin...

I've rode your Harley Al  " relentless power "   

[fstsix]

Don't get me wrong gentlemen...I ride with Hd's every weekend, My boss has a 30 day new 110 ci Ultra,,$34.000.00 What i really like is Passing him all the time    he gets pi$$ed LOL 

[Crazyhorse]

99 Valk I/S 102K runs like she did new.



97 Standard with 42K miles will run off and leave most Harleys.



I still like variety.

[Crazyhorse]

Oh by the way I've had a screwdriver to all of mind.

[big turkey]

Relentless does not mean,,,, all powerful.

It means it keeps on ticking after it takes a licking.

Like when I am on the Gas or Gassed.

It still fires up no matter what and takes me where I want to go.

You got it Al....may not want to do a Roll on next to a new 110 ci HD with a Stock Valk you will see what happens when you spend 34 k on a bike...the 110 ain't no joke 

[big turkey]

Fudgie there ain't no timing chain. But there is some chains that time the cams.

Will get rid of those as soon as my 5 year warranty  gives up.

What a waste of money, a 5 year warranty that I have never used.

Andrews Gear Drive Cams and some hopped up cams soon.

I would roll on with anybody as long as we are on a twisty road.

A twisty road does have a limit...I hope that no more of my friends or myself ever find it.

Saw a 119 inch screemin eagle turn 93 hp on a dyno a couple weeks ago.  Yawn

[big turkey]

For only 1800 dollars and little bit of elbow grease I had a buddy take his 96 incher

to the 117 hp level and it actually pulls the front wheel off the ground when he

hammers it a little on a gear change.

Heads and Cams make all the difference, it's not just the inches that matter.

103 incher has the same cams from Harley as the 96 incher , just more torque.

Al

[big turkey]

For instance the Victory 106 has more horses but the 1/4 mile times against the Harley

are almost identical.

Torque on the Harley comes on earlier and is more effective.

10 cubes difference but practically the same performance.

[Jess from VA]

I rode an '86 FXRD Tour Glide until 2005 and 99K miles.  It was NOT trouble free, but only required one major overhaul, and multiple electrical repairs, and the rear jug leaked a little oil on every ride after 50K, but not enough to ever hit the ground.  It ran about 84HP with mods and could out lean the Valk with floorboards.  I had planned to keep it forever, but after I got my IS, I just never rode it anymore, so I sold in to a guy in CA with 50lbs of OE (unobtainable) parts.







And a few others (Mean Streak too Al), but now just two Valks.

[fstsix]

Keeping the front end down from a hole shot on a Blown Valk with the car tire is a serious problem, i lean forward so much i hit the windshield with my head, the real challenge is trying Not to wheelstand this thing, With the Wife on the back it is OUTRIGHT    DANGEROUS...if you dare in first at a roll 2 up hit the gas you will look straight UP!!! It hurts my rib's....usually my left side.....from getting punched by the Wife

The Evo's were not "honda like" either...just had more time to make repairs ! 

[RoadKill]

Big Al is correct....they just aint Harleys no more 
Damn things actually have some engineering in them now,It just aint the same
