Writing to share my awesome story!
So on 11\30\2012 my TurboTech 26 Tooth Pulley arrived from Ebay for my 06D. Installation was easy as can be. Id say this was easier than changing the damn spark plugs! haha. But it took me I'd guess no more than 40 minutes with 0 instructions and never even seeing my pulley before. "Did install and test on 12/2/2012 sunday"
So I'm off to test power gain and speed loss. Definitely a nice increase in power, spins the tire in 2nd gear at 45mph with a quick twist of the throttle. Speed loss couldn't be tested very well do to I didn't calibrate my speedo. but according to my speedo it was only about a 3mph loss. Probably wayy off due to not calibrating. But here is the kicker. I hopped on I20 here in Texas heading out from Weatherford towards Ft Worth. I just passed the 420 exit to Aledo when I decided it was clear enough, lets see what shes got. Didn't down shift just rolled on the throttle from 75 until i hit the rev limit. Looked down and saw between 130 and 140.."kinda fast to double check lol".... so i let off and slowed back down to 75 and cruise until I hit I30 exit and as soon as I get close to it I look back and see blue lights racing up to me. Of course im not thinking he's coming for me due to I hadn't been on the throttle at all for several miles. But low and be hold he follows me over to the other line. So I pull over. The cop gets out stern faced and goes, Do you have any Idea how fast you were going? I said well probably about 70-75 and he goes not now I'm talking about a few miles back.. So of course I kinda turn red face and say not really no and he hands me a print out slip from his car and it shows 139mph in 65mph!!!! I basically poop my pants at this pointing realizing in TX anything over 98mph is a free ride in a patrol car... After about 5 minutes of me dead quiet, The cop out of know where breaking the silence goes "What the hell kinda bike is that?!" So we start talking and me explain the v rod, he had never seen one. I'll speed this book I'm writing up a little. After about 2 hours of talking about bikes and what not. He hands me a ticket for 85mph in a 65mph and got to ride home. :angelwin:
Best traffic stop ever!... but sadly guys he wouldn't let me keep the print out of my speeds ...... Also sorry for the book. But something like this needs to be explained!!!
