  1. Congrats on learning that iron pony is a rape house.

    And even more so impressed that you got a full face, owning a harley. I'm glad you care about your noggin.

    I don't know about a rape house. It is hard to find a current Bell Vortex for under $179.99 that they were charging. However, last years model with the Greaser graphics (pin stripe) was available for $99.99 online and I liked it better then this years graphics or plain black. They seemed to have a lot of great closeout stuff. Also, nothing beats knowledge, customer service, and being able to try things on. I will be going back to shop their sale stuff again soon.

  2. I went to Iron Pony last week to pick up my first helmet. I walked in intending to get something fairly cheap, but not stupid cheap (my head is worth more then $29.99, at least I think it is). As I was looking around, I was quickly greeted and given a basic overview of helmets within my budget. The employee (sorry didn't get his name) helped my wife and I try on helmets and assure proper fitment. He even went and got his helmet to show us proper fit. I ended up buying a helmet for me that night (Bell Vortex). I went home and started surfing the net to compare prices out of curiosity. I stumbled across http://www.motorcyclecloseouts.com/ They had the same helmet but with a pattern I liked better for literally half the price. I ordered the helmet and received it within 5 days (including a weekend). I will definitely be returning to Iron Pony in the future due to their great service. I did return the helmet I bought do to the huge price difference but, I will be picking the wife's helmet up from them soon since it is the same price everywhere I find it.

    Thanks again for the great service!

  3. Huh.. I learned something today. The 1999 RoadKing is injected. :confused:

    Oh.. and that's a fucking ton of torque. :eek:

    I am not 100% on this but I believe it was an option on the Classic only. When I look it up on their parts site it offers a Road King (FLHR) or a Classic (FLHRCI). The I is for injected. I believe FLH is Touring and the R is Road King and the C is Classic.

  4. Got her dynoed on Saturday morning. 90hp and 120ft-lb. The tuner at Honda Marysville says it is rich in the middle and there is more power to be had. They didn't have the equipment to tune a Power Commander IIIr with a serial port though so it was left as is.

  5. I am taking it into a local shop this weekend to have it dynoed. I spoke some more to the shop that supposedly built it. They say it is a 95CI motor with head work, cams (257 SE cams? they think), a flowed throttle body and 1.94 intake valves. They seem to remember it coming in at over 100hp. I was cleaning it up and looking for a number stamped on the heads so they could tell me more about the head job and found a Power Commander IIIr tucked inside the right side fairing. I will post my graph when I get it dynoed. Can't wait to have a hard number for the bike. Any places in central Ohio that I should stay away from? Go to places?

    Thanks for the help.

  6. Welcome to the forum!

    Unless yours has had the motor replaced or reworked it should be an older 88, probably about 65 hp. Its an 88B motor. Probably about 70 ft lbs of torque. My '03 stock supposedly has about 10 more horse because it is counterbalanced with about 85 ft lbs of torque according to the book. I added a stage one kit and that should add 6-7 hp and more torque.

    All this is just numbers though, its dyno hp and torque that really counts.

    Isn't 88B what comes on a soft tail? the B is for counterbalanced because it is ridgid mounted right?

  7. Id find it hard to believe it makes 115hp. Stock those are around 60 hp.. The 96ci motors make around 70hp stock

    So it would need alot ofwork to break 100hp. Let alone make 115

    I agree from what little I know and the research I have done. I talked more to a guy at work today who knows a lot more then I do. He said depending on the cams he could see maybe mid 90's but that is probably on the high end. I don't know what it makes but, I don't need anymore then it has for a first bike. I am already pleasantly surprised I was told I was purchasing an 88 CI and it is a 95 CI. I would love to confirm this and figure out the cam profiles. I am hoping for a dyno day soon so i can get a hard number on paper.

  8. I just purchased my first bike. I got a 1999 Harley-Davidson Road King Classic. I am learning to ride and work on/maintain a bike. I am also trying to find out what all has been done to this bike. So far I have heard a lot of different things. I was told by the dealer it was an 88 CI motor with a complete rebuild and was making about 115hp. Then I talked to Roeder (the shop that supposedly did the work) and they said it is a 95 CI with head work, cams and a flowed throttle body with no bottom end work. It has quite a few toys on it, it sounds good and rides nice so I am happy.
