Nice bike sounds like she goes pretty hard! What's the top speed now you've got stage 1 fitted and is that in 5th or 6th? What sort of fuel management did you go for? Do the apes effect your high speed stability?

Hi VCTD,

Just a quick question to see if a Fat Boy develops any type of "annoying vibrations" through the handlebars? Few people mentioned about it. Would love your take on that..

Cheers

Vlad

ps. still tossing between the Fat Boy and Superglide Custom...

for what my comment is worth.... on another forum that I contribute, some guys remarked about a certain guy with a certain bike.... they were shot down with a remark about said bike and skills of said rider.....

theoretical calculations aside.... my VND160 worth.....

Hi Crash,

Interesting subject, funny thing is the only rev limiter I've hit is in my head and pooper valve.....................

Bt

Did you only change cams, 211s like 10.5 comp what type of ignition are you using .My 03 has them and a SE ignition module cant remember if it has 5 degree or 10 degrees taken out of the total timing and a 6200 limiter and 42ml mikuni. the mid range top end is great .Hope this helps these cams are good for  cruising and econimy.

looking good mate

when i got my 07 i hit the limiter 1-5   with ease , and im 120kg recon mine was 5200 pc3 setup by shop

crasher , keeping an eye on this thread. any further reports last month ? or has anyone else done some recent work on the 96 mtr and want to post results ?

Gooday!

Well guy's I'll let you in on a fact that from 07 models on Harley have put a speed limiter in the stardard ECM that only allows a top speed of only 180kph not matter if your in 4th,5th or 6th gear!! To get around this limit you have to change the stock ECM with a Thundermax for eg, then you can extract more top speed.

I have done a lot of work to my 07 Fatty using a high end performance kit which has certainly improved the HP. I have added a thundermax ECM with a complete digital dash that can talk to each other on the fly! I can keep a eye on the AFR ( air/fuel ratio mixture) as I'm riding which is one of the main things that allows top performance levels!! They are the way to go for the serious rider!!

Leaving it there for now

My god must have been a hell of a big big tail wind??? Wind assisted runs don't count in the Olympics, they should be subjected to a urine test. LOL

I think you need to get a warranty claim for a replacement speedo as the calibration is way out on your's my friend!!

I might quickly run out and buy some share's on the stock market with the speedo manufacturer's Crasher!! Should be worth a few bucks next week!! LOL

I do have a few bigger/better pic's Crasher!! You'd like to ride it!! I've a lot of work done to it!! Performs exceptionally well!!

Good luck with testing this coming weekend!

Nige does this mean that i have to get serious

Yeh I think you should Joe!! LOL

I got my 07 Fattie in the first of the 07 shipment in Oct 06! After about 9000km's I decided to upgrade the engine package and accomadate a 103 using Screamin Eagle performance parts sourced from E Bay US at some very cheap prices!! After I got together the required parts I dropped the bike off at USA Motorcyles at Albion Park where Laurie and Mick went about building up a Hi comp engine for me 9 months ago now!! Must say they did an excellent job!!

The parts used are as followed!!

SE HTTC CNC ported heads

SE HTTC 103 Forged Pistons 10.5 - 1

SE Head Gaskets

SE Titanium Pushrod

SE High Tensile Barrell Studs

SE 258 Cams

K & N Air Filter  Kit

Thundermax ECM

Thunderheart Speedo Console

Twin Disc Front end, with braided lines all round, this was one of the best improvements I made!! A Harley with brakes!! No use having all that go if you can't stop.

I fitted the wiring plugends bought from Big Joe's Choppers ( gave you a mention Joe) to disconnect the exhaust butterfly valve and Air Filter soliniod. That eliminated the engine management light coming on all the time!! Removed the butterfly in the exhaust and fitted SE II Slip on's.

Now after some 10,000 km's and playing with the Thundermax along the way I have a very fast package. I changed the EFI and Ignition map on the bike which is now set up perfect. It did take a fair bit of trail and error!!

I can't give you any HP figures as I haven't been to a dyno! No need.

Happy Riding!!

Lucky you didn't try that up around Bindoon and Gin Gin today, bloody coppers and multnovas every where. I was just taking it easy on my new FATBOB 

Rubbish

nige says rubbish crasher did you do a bin run with out me   how did you go find any good stuff

We don't want to let the truth get in the way of a good story now!!

Well Trasher!! It's people like you who use forum's like this to try and talk themselve's up by making false claims and baffling people with bulls**t.  " The Bulls**t stops when the flag drop's ". So in your case the flag hasn't dropped!!

Hey karlrockdrain does your skirt match the colour of your L plate !! Ha Ha !! Runs on the board???? It's not cricket ?? Actually I just hit you for Six!! .
