A crazy question

[dirtdobber]

Due to my age mainly I have decided to do a living will and a will for where some things will go or go to.

Please excuse me as I am not bragging, I am serious here. I am also concerned with one of the bikes that I have.

I have a 2005 super glide I bought it for one reason to build a hot rod. I have planned this for many years and saved enough to do the build with cost was no object. Here's the problem after finishing it and riding it for a year, I am a x bike drag racer, I just realized I don't have any one in my family that could handle it's power.

The engine was built from the ground up for Torque, it had plenty of HP that in the end. Nothing but the best parts. The build was even done on a computer that will analyze each component for each part to work for one goal, torque.

It ended up with 148 tq. 113 ci.. The head work alone cost more than a average build.
I really don't know what to do with it. I don't want to get rid of any family members and would hate for someone to get hurt with it. It will come out from under you quick. it isn't fast, only around 130-135 mph top end but it will do it in seconds.

Only thing I can think of is sell it while I am still here so I will know if they can handle it.
I know, I know many can say I can do it but I am not so sure. you have to feather the throttle when 2 up or curves. I have a digital speedo/tach and when I hit it the speedo jumps to different speeds.
I hate to lose a lot of money on it
It is a sleeper

This is Kevin and myself picking it up after the build. Kevin is a professional builder that thinks out of the box with known results.



There are a lot of bigger and badder builds out there than this one. I have friends that won't ride it.

I have 2 rides. A 2014 triglide and a 2002 FXDX dyna. Both super rides. I have 3 daughters. Oldest, loves bikes, doesn't want to ride. Middle, wants to ride but has never been serious enough to ride on her own. Youngest, sold her street bob dyna because she was injured in Iraq and no longer capable of riding. I have decided that I am selling when I no longer am capable of riding. If I die before I sell, I have in my will that some things, especially the rides, be sold and the $$$ goes to the estate which will some day make it to the daughters. My wife will own all the other things and she will make the choice about those things if she out lives me. Jim

When its my turn in the box, My Two Sons will get all my well used rolling stock, And I hope that they say, Wow Dad really rode the crap out of them.. God Bless him...

As far as my vast fortune go's, If I cant find a way to send it ahead, Let them figure it out for themselves' When the time comes.....

Ok, thinking outside the box.
Why not sell the high performance parts.

Engine and Tranny etc to someone who has need for them?
(maybe another racer building a machine)

Then drop a new factory motor and tranny in the bike.
That way, you can leave a GOOD stock bike to one of the
family members who might ride.

And you still should have a bit of cash for another project.
(ie, if the better half is still with you, take her somewhere special)

If not, take a road trip you want to do.
I have a real interest in a trike ride to Niagara Falls.
Be a heck of a road trip from Kansas

Best Wishes

I didn't think about changing engines. Good call.
I have one that is going to the Barbers museum when the time comes.
My wife will get her wide glide and GW RS trike.
My grandson will get the CVO street glide.
The last one is my hot rod.
