there was a fellow back in the mid to later 90's running a V-Max by the name of Steve Riemer or rimmer i don't think i can spell his name proper it was a while he was sponsored by Modil ! when it 1st came out , from memory i don't think he did hit the 10's they were a heavy bike with shaft drive i think , i havn't seen a later one out there for a while a good lightweight sport's bike will beat them ,
a shift light would be good , see Damo in the workshop he looks after the 3 race Harleys there he will help you out

Mrjpcooper I got the 120r in my bike. It doesn't make much more torque than yours. Had I had my time over I would not have bought the 120r. I would have taken the motor out and taken it to one of these blokes here on the forum who build performance motors. With the money I spent on the 120r I would have had much better result.
Dutchy your engine is good for 125 square you have a bottle neck with the pipe or throttle body or both combind.
yep did that other day filled tank fuel full now jus go easy 2 day i saz ,well comin onto HWY an next thing here i am taken over by the exzileration of watever it is its not me ,personally i dont no its like wat da fuk o no its gonna be on ,dat bloody bike is somthin its either all or nothin sorta feels like wen ya tryin 2 go normal it jus doesnt seem like its goin proper like lathargick are those plugs workin sounds like its off beat ,if ya no wat i mean i go shop nah shes sweet mate o i thought sumthins not right like doesnt seem like runnin proper 2 me ,i dunno lay sum rubber 4 us shop saz 2 me o cum on every time im here burnout bloody hell 300 4 tyre guys an its all stuck on bloody driveway of your shop christ all bloody mitey fuk it u wan it here it comes an again i fall into trap more more is voice of dudes crist im outa here an spun tyre all way up road untill limiter stepped in and it died like fuk it jus sorta slowed right down like oh o wat da heck av i done an it slowly came back an i kept goin but that didnt seem right and thats y i went 2 shop in first place tryin 2 tell them doesnt seem right ,anyway got a floggin on way home and parked it SHINGLES
looks like i won't be doing much for the next 2 mths as i broke the top off my left shoulder & crack it 3/4 thru , a wave dump me into the edge of a sandbank body surfing @ Wanda beach ,my 28 yr old daughter was only a few mtrs on my right on the same wave thank god unhurt , i'am glad it was me & not her, as it was a very hard hit . unlucky but also luckly
Thanks HogBag for the advice. had others say the same. Saving for pipe and better tune. The harley shop was to afraid to play with the tune to much. I think I paid over $300.00 for a download. I still think I would have had a better result had I know of some of these blokes on the forum before I spent all my dough. I'm on my third try with pipe which has wasted money. Still not sure which way I will go with that still. I think if I had of thrown 8,000 at the 103 with these guys I would have had a real tirer fryer. Bike goes well all I'm saying is I would have done it differently in hindsight and will when due for freshen up.
