Hello fellow Enthusiasts. Just bought an 08 Ridgeback.What a Beautiful Bike! The Dealer I bought it from is going to do some motor work and says we will be making approx 120hp/130trq. Is this the Average build for these bikes or is this going to be a real treat?

Ride it like you stole it
That would be better than avg. If it's built right and reliable it will be fun for sure. Welcome to the site

how come it took you 14 months to say hello????????????? if you are able to get 120/130 out of it, you better be able to hang on to the handlebars!!!!!!! make sure you know who is doing the work and make sure they know what the fuck they are doing. if you don't, it will just be you that regrets having the work done. http://www.bigdogbiker.com/forums/motor/23154-ten-thousand-dollar-mistake.html good luck with it and, again, hang on tight.

I had an 04 Chopper which was completely stock and i think that would of beat my buddy's Street Glide. Just trying to get a gauge on power. The guy doing the build has beeen doing these particular set ups for a long time. Finally got the right Combonation and never looked back:D Can't Wait to Crack the Throttle with that 330

Welcome from St. Louis! :cheers:

Dun quite a bit of work on my 06 K9 too, but if you're gunna push 120-hp, you're talkin about even more than me. Like everyone else says, just get ready to hang on! Is def a blast!!! My only advice...If you plan on takin the bike on extended runs, DON'T sacrifice reliability and dependablity for hp. I've always ridden REAL hard (borderline abuse), and even bone stock, I was NEVER beat by a stock Harley. Anything else on these machines is just icing on the cake. That much hp, don't neglect your tranny! Back cut gears weren't made for that. Install a torque bar too.

Good luck!!! Post what you're havin dun!!!

Thanks for the welcome guys! - Really looking fowards to this bike. Seems like this is going to be a real hoot:eek:One of my biggest questions to the
delaer who is doing the build was, Is this going to be a reliable build, overheating, Compression too high, Clutch work, etc- He has done a lot of this particular build with very good reports. I will post Combo and sheet when done. I really dont think im going to need any more power than this.

Welcome From Tennessee! Agrees with Hotrod. Don't crank it up if your aren't ready for that dawg to run out from under you. Make sure you have plenty of "Straight" road in front of you, don't go into a curve too hot :eek: either.

Thanks Again for the Big Welcome. I have a Dyno sheet of the build that is going to be done. There are two options here: Red Shows Same Build as the blue with the exception of a larger cam and less compression. I opted to go with the Blue Pill :D This has been a trued combination of these guys for a long time - very consistant within 1-2HP/TQ Enjoy!!!
