rouse is on a distinguished road
This bike is a real rice burnner eater!

2007 CVO Dyna
silver with Blue flames (H-D) paint
110 Cu In. 6speed
Stock looking pipes
Factory seat, wheels, and accessories
Everything about this bike looks exactly as it did setting on the showroom floor/ at least as far as the eye can see!
Not one part that hasn’t been thoroughly massaged to go fast thou.

The Story
This build was for one purpose, and that was to knock a Yamaha out of the pushrod class record book at Bonneville. I have helped many of my friends run there, but this was my first complete build for me.
I already had a new 2007 fat boy for cruising and I really didn’t need another H-D. However, one day as I was helping my friend get ready for a run at Bonneville, I noticed that a Yamaha held the speed record in the 2000 cc production pushrod class. Now, that just went all over me as just not being right, as a matter of fact, I thought it was just plain wrong.
The way I have it figured, the pushrod classes should be reserved for old school type bike like H-D, Indians, Vincent’s, Triumphs, BSA’s, but “Yamaha; no way Jose”!

I bought this bike the next week and my son and I, along with friends work 8 weeks straight 7 days a week to get the bike ready to run at Bonneville.

When we finished the build and Dyno tuning it made over 152 HP at the tire, so we loaded it up and headed out to Bonneville.

The track conditions this year left a lot to be desired so running 6th gear was really not too safe. So I set the record in 5th gear running on the rev-limiter (145.048 MPH new SCTA Bonneville record) the old record was 133 MPH.

After returning from Bonneville we went to the Texas Mile and ran even fast (150.27 MPH), again in 5th gear for the standing mile.

I ride this bike on the street and boy what a kick it has when you roll on the throttle. Plans are to work with the gearing and go back to the Texas mile March 29-30, and back to Bonneville in September.

Until then look out Hayabusa’s
