Did the Raider run out of RPM due to gearing or is the Roadie making near 125hp. Also did the Roadie have him from the start or eventually pull out in front? I have two Liners and a Roadie and the stock Liner still has more go than the not so stock Roadie.

We've never raced full out head to head. I would not be surprised if he would pull me. We both agree (from swapping rides) that if I were on his and he on mine , the Liner would edge a race. But as it stands , with his size and the mods made to his bike , it's a competitive motorcycle with the likes of the Raider and 'Liner. Clear as mud? BB

They were both still pulling , but we had to make a right , so the "race" was over. BB

Re:RoadStar 1 - Raider 0 6 Years, 10 Months ago  
I need to make one correction to the parts Dan listed he didn't know at the time I was running the Dyna 3000.
My bike had been hard to start so I took it off and put the stock one on, I realized it was the battery going bad so I replaced it
and when I did I put the Dyna back on. I really don't think running the stock box and hitting the rev limiter as low in the rpm range as it is set from the factory I could of pulled it off.

And the pistons are JE brand for those that want to know.
