I have an XB9 with factory race kit. I would be happy to give up some top end for more torque. Any suggestions other than the obvious (get a 12)? thanks

In order of expense:
Fit a 12 airbox top or a Hillbilly FAST kit
Buy a PC111r for an X1 together with the uprated o2 sensor or a techlusion box and have everything set up on a dyno
Alter gearing(Though this has implications for the belt-guarding and may be a whole new can of worms)
Swap exhausts (I'm not going to suggest which type to the official DR*mm*r Fan Club)
Bore that sucker
You could ignore all of the above and fit a supercharger.

I really don't think this is the offical drummer fan club. there are more than a few here who like the D&D, Wileyco, Buell pipe, Latus,Jardine and the like. so suggest away.

altho I will admit its kinda nice to be hated because something works. Kinda like Booing and hissing the winning driver,or soccer team, or football team....I like being hated

but yes a pcIII will work also, as long as you can get it tuned correctly and the 12 airbox helps out also

Bubba,

You might want to look at a set of torque cones (anti reversion cones). They install inside of the header pipe just outside the cylinder heads. Have bought a set for myself but have not had a chance to install them.

Hope this helps!

F. stein sell the cones to some harley freak with straight pipes. they will not help you any.
they have been 'exhaustively' tested and found to be just what they appear: a piece of metal to clog up your exhaust pipes.

there is one real good reason that you dont have a lot of "mid-range torque" that reason is the camshaft duration of 249degrees. the XB9 starts to pull around 4000 rpm. thats just the way it is. use transmission gears accordingly.

Baybueller,

Check out dyno charts listed in the exhaust comparo threads. The D&D has the strongest mid-range.

When I sold my GS1100 to a pal of mine, I warned him, mother hen that I am, to be careful. I knew he had experience, he had a Norton Combat Commando, but the GS was a new thing to him.
A week later he called me, told me the GS had good power, but he didn't see what I was trying to warn him about. I asked him where he was shifting. "5000", I told him to try 8000, and hung up. A week later he called back, "Oh, I get it now."
Just rev it a bit more, shift a bit later, and take your advice from the riders above. The XB9 is a torque beast compared to inline 4's, but it works where it works, it's not a Road King. ( it's got a chunk more power! )

the phrase big twin is used by Harley riders to describe non sportster based engines.With minor tweaking they produce over 90 lbs of torque at 3500 rpm. I believe the others on this thread understand what I am saying.
