In addition, the King of the
Baggers bike features nearly flat
bars with adjustable offset and
peg locations that are so differ-
ent from stock that the left peg
is welded to the engine case! In
other words, your left boot gets
plenty of vibration from 2146cc
of V-twin fury, especially at race
pace—a stock 131-cubic inch
crate engine redlines at roughly
5800 rpm, while Kyle Wyman
averages 6000 rpm during
competition.
Inde's main layout is
2.75-miles and a whopping 21
turns. But coming out of pit lane,
it's only a couple of right handers
before I'm on the 2200-ft main
straight and asking for everything
the 131-cubic inch motor has
to offer. Harley representatives
would only say that the motor
makes "over 150 horsepower" at
the rear wheel. They were also
willing to share that peak torque
is 150 lb-ft at the rear wheel,
and that the motor impres-
sively makes at least 120 lb-ft all
throughout the rev range. The
torque is truly staggering, and
I can always feel it pushing me
forward, though the horsepower
never manages to give me a fun
fright like a proper superbike
does down a straightaway.

(Left) Because
the bike is so
tall, both Kyle and
Travis use rain
pucks to help get
their knees on the
ground, but it's
still an infrequent
occurrence.
Travis used one
set of pucks
over two whole
races. (Top right)

Check out that
Screamin' Eagle
pipe! Never has
the name been so
appropriate.
