Dyno
S&S's 117-cubic-inch, long-stroke twin is a torque monster, maintaining 90 lb.-ft. across the board. With peak torque at 4000 rpm, short-shifting is the best way to ride that big swell of power.

Ergos
Ape-hangers and highway pegs focus the road's rage on the rider's lumbar, straining muscles and squishing discs. This extreme seating position is mainly good for funding your chiropractor's retirement.
