Most Streetable HP

just remember hp is just a number,you need a chassis capable of putting it to the ground or its just unridable tire smoke!

You make that souind like a bad thing.

you guys were talking about gauges go check out autometers web site they have the coolest tachs and speedo's that i'm sure would fit in the stock gauge housings. and any time you can get over a hundred horsepower out of a street engine that is a good thing. my 1015cc 13-1 motored little drag bike only gets 112 horse and 70 lbsoftourque so i should put the 1075 in that frame and run it oyeah that is an option.

back to the gauges again also look at vdo's website they have some unreal gauge packages as well.

not a bad thing at all in the right hands or insane hands in my case!:woohoo: but its really easy to find yourself in trouble with a motor that over powers the chassis and a rider whos not ready for it,god knows ive worked hard to perfect the excessive hp to braincell ratio combination over the years!:laugh: but then again i spent many years falling out of perfectly good airplanes,racing boats and did i mention pacemaker #2 ?:laugh:

For that combo you think I need to brace the frame on an 80? I know the pre 76 frames were weak but with a little stretch on the arm and it should be good right?
Yeah, and those gauges I checked out on those sites thanks to the other post I was reading. Not quite sure but if I am going the whole way I might add a few things with taste. Nothing that would take too much away from the original lines of the bike.
I'm stoked..... I have spring break starting for me at 3:15 and it's a week off in Sunny Puerto Rico. Gonna party and ride and worry about not having a bike to ride here when I get back.

if an unbraced frame on my 80 ltd managed to handle a heavily breathed on 1327 i dont think you have a problem with that motor!:laugh:

Oh yeah! Now that is what is music to my ears Plummen. Not even stretched. Well, good then. My 79 I am almost certain will be a 1327 maybe not turbo charged but for sure built to run and mostly streetable.
