Re: 1986 With 32,000

My 99 has more miles than your 83!!

I've been riding since 97 and have ridden 70,000+ miles. Damn unreliable Harleys???

I live in South Dakota, don't tell me about having to put the bikes up for winter.

Keep riding Mr. Opinion

Re: Yeehaw first

Torque and horse power are not related, proportionally or otherwise.

My HD makes far less horse power 70. Although it doesn't make a lot more torque it does make more 80ftLbs. I can scan the dyno run if you don't believe me. Just send me a mail and I'll do it for you. (Yes you are that special)

3K red line, I love it :) LMAO close, but when I get my diesel HD maybe. :)

Re: you

I get 80FtLbs with HD slip on mufflers, K&N filter (HD kit) and Dynojet kit(also in HD's product list).

Why does the Merch motor makes so much power? It is a 120" motor. It is the same engine HD designed in the 80's Merch used the best parts they could find, and flowed the heads. Same HD design.

I would like to find out more about the 4000fpm piston speed data you talk about. It makes sence, I just want to know more about it.

I found info about how related HP and Torqe are at:

http://www.howstuffworks.com/horsepower.htm

It reads:

You can easily convert torque to horsepower by multiplying torque by RPMs / 5252.

You guys are so smart!

I was wrong, they are related.
