V=Twin, huh? How about THIS American V-Twin!
2001 Custom-made cams, Homemade 2-into-1 ceramic coated headers with Supertrapp slip-on, Candy Apple Red repaint with stock decals, chromed forks, digital oil-temp gauge, fan-assisted oil cooler, laptop-programmed ECU, billet air cleaner backing plate with K&N filter, 180 rear tire. Those mods enabled me to beat a Hayabusa at Phil Peterson's Harley Davidson's annual birthday party and dyno shootout. The 'Busa showed up to embarrass the Harleys, and I showed my appreciation for the invitation by embarrassing the 'Busa - 11.7 seconds. I sold the bike not long afterwards. It was too fast. I can't refuse a race, and I'm too old to race against crotch rockets - I was gonna kill myself with that bike! I have a nice safe 105th Anniversary harley now. Oh, did I forget to mention that it's an Excelsior Henderson Super-X, made in Belle Plains, MN?
