    There for awhile they was blaming the clutch issues on "big flags" some riders had on their bikes.

    'Screaming Chicken 13.4' slang for H-D factory or mechanics upgrade flash done to H-D's 'Screaming Eagle Performance Tuner' also know as the 'Screaming Chicken Tuner' since they need all the help they can get in the power department imo.

    Hey, question for those that know...Yesterday I got the new issue of Motorcycle Consumer News. Had a rode test of the new HD Low Rider S. Article claims that this model will beat most stock Harleys in a drag race..It shows 1/4 mile time @13.45 sec. @101.1mph..That sure ain't very fast...What is the same stats for a good running, stock F6B??...I know it has to be faster than this "pig" as I have had no real trouble beating 110 HD's in a short drag when the occasion arises..Not looking to race anyone much at my age, but I thought I saw somewhere the F6B does the 1/4 mile in about 12+ seconds at about 110 or mph...Regards, just curious...

    Acording to ..... Cycle World's evaluation between the Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide and the Honda F6B.
    The H-D hp 91.27 @ 4970 rpm, F6B 103.66 @ 5580 rpm
    H-D Torque 109.9 ft.-lb. @ 3750 rpm, F6B 109.9 ft.-lb. @ 4160 rpm
    H- 1/4-mile 12.49 sec. @ 104.83 mph, F6B 11.84 sec. @ 110.97 mph
    H-D 60 mph 3.7 sec. F6B 60 mph 3.3 sec
    Dry weight, H-D 824 lb. F6B 813 lb
    "The Honda’s roll-on acceleration in top gear also was a little better, edging the Harley by about three-quarters of a second from 40 to 60 mph and 60 to 80. But amazingly enough, both bikes posted identical top speeds: 124 mph.

    But the Honda excels in too many important ways to play second fiddle. It’s faster, smoother and, when both rider and passenger comforts are taken into account, more luxurious. And unless you’ve either won the lottery or are prospering in these early recovery times, you can’t dismiss the $13,000 MSRP discrepancy between the Honda and the Harley. For that amount, you could buy any one of numerous full-size, top-quality motorcycles—or even a compact car!"

    On a side note the H-D tested had the screaming chicken flash in it so not completely stock imo even though it is a factory option.
