I dont see why I cant have my cake and eat it too
Im not looking for zx14 power.
If I could get 25 or 30 HP without breaking the bank it would be nice
When im out riding the backroads (which is where I ride 80 persent of the time)
and I come up on a line of land barges. I want to be able to pass them "like there backin up" not hopping I get by before the next car comes around the corner.
But mostly you just cant have to much Horsepower!!!

Ok after dragracing for 17 years the last 5 on a turbo cartire bike
this will never come close
I don't give a shit how fast it will go
it will never be that fast or pull that hard
I want more pull more punch .
If you enjoy riding around behind a bunch of cars because your afraid to pass them on the turns. Fine then .
I would rather pass them . More power to do so would be nice

As it is now you drop a gear and grab ahold of the throttle it just makes more noise

Ross, you are most likely correct. Good points made by all on both sides of the fence. For now I'll keep looking and investigating. I hate to say it but the more I think about it the more another HD mat be the answer! Damm and just when I thouight I had grown up.

From what I've seen there are very few hotrodding components available for the Vulcan series (short of nitrous which can be adapted to almost anything).

Not to get off track of the original post but found this interesting. Side by side sound clips of Cobra billet tips vs. Cobra slash cuts. Big difference in sound between the two.
