jAs you may surmise from my sig I'm not a Harley rider but there are things I like about them including the styling and the history. I know it's not thread related but my interested in this motor build and what all had to be done to squeeze 30+ hp from a shovelhead engine. Keep it comin.....

what's "thread related" men, LOL? mine always veer off course......

i have a GSXR 750 front caliper on her now...

well, a stock 80" shovel, circa 1979 put around 48 HP to the rear wheel.
the goal is to balance, blueprint and maximise EVERY possible thing to get every possible bit of power.....that 102 was @ 6,700 rpms on pump gas. 96 lbft TQ @ 5400.

gotta use tools!

So this is a drop-in high beam replacement, right? Do you still have to trim the tabs like the other HIR bulbs?

EDIT - Nope, low beam. I always forget which is which. I still don't like the fact that this doesn't have a glare cap painted onto the tip of the bulb like the stock 9006s do. I'd probably only be comfortable using HIRs in the low beams if my headlight housings had glare caps built into the low beam side.
