Bubba’s Bad Road Glide

This issue’s dyno run was brought to you by Bubba Jackson from the sales crew at Barnett Harley-Davidson. Bubba’s Road Glide was set up for high speed southwest desert touring. He started off with 95” pistons from Harley-Davidson, part number 22851-99A ($119.95). Then he added a set of Andrews gear driven cams, 37Gs, part number DS199247 ($281.95), Andrews part numbers DS199538 for gears ($380.95) and DS199235 ($26.95) are also required for installation.

George Fell of Pine Forest Cycles, 6808 Pine Forest Road, Pensacola, FL 32526, 850-941-1147, ported and polished the heads, raised the compression, and installed larger valves ($600). Along with Thunderheader slip-ons ($459), a Harley-Davidson race tuner ($459.95), and adjustable titanium pushrods DS193007 ($209.95), this package returned almost 90 hp and 101 lbs of torque. Fuel mileage stayed above 40 mpg and dependability was not compromised.

Bubba leads the El Paso H.O.G. rides and has the miles to prove this combo will run with the 103’s and finish the rides just like the 88’s. Note how incredibly smooth the fuel injection adjustability makes the curves. No dips or hiccups in the power delivery. The total for parts was $1,737.74 and you can add about six hours of labor plus the cylinder boring charge. Now that he’s got it running perfectly, it’s up for sale. Go Figure.
