    You will crush this the same way the TT Empulse Team at Isle of Man and the 156 Team at Pikes Peak and the current FTR750 Flat Track Dominance! Best of luck Team Indian Bagger Squad 👍👍👍👍👍👍

      So , I’ve read these kind of comments before and on another website Lloyd stated that he supports S&S and they have collaborated on some Indian projects. He also mentioned it’s a simple that S&S have greater resources and tooling capabilities. Lloyd works with an Indian dealership in North Carolina so you could most likely contact him there or his Facebook page .

      @@hughsnyder891 that's cool. I haven't heard any input from Lloyd about the King of Baggers race. I get that S&S probably has a bigger operation and perhaps better tooling, but the mastermind is the real asset. If Lloyd and his team collaborated with S&S, I honestly believe they would suss out every mechanical advantage they could give their rider. There would be no finer tuned Challenger in the world.
      Additionally, it may help bring more performance upgrades to the market for the Challenger, which we all want.

      Lloyd could easily show up with his own version of an Indian Challenger and participate in the race. If Mr. Lloyd was really "all that and a bag of chips" he would! This competition appears to be open to others who want to "come out and play". They did say that there will be two Indian Challengers on the track that day. In my opinion HD has way more custom bike builder's in the world then that of Indian, that being said I would LOVE to see 20 or 30 more Road Glides show up on race day. THIS IS GONNA BE AWESOME

    Here a good takeaway, in the world of flat track racing Indian has been DOMINATING the circuit. At best Harley Davidson can get is 4th or 5th. The exact same thing will happen with the King of the baggers competition. I feel that Harley Davidson should just consider conceding, they don't have a dog in the fight

      The 108" has no development support. Unless S&S magically created new cylinders and a stroker crankshaft at $$$ development costs, Milwaukee 8's are going to be wayyyy up on power. 131" M8's are making 165rwhp.

      @@CS-Loc yeah I saw that. Hopefully it's a reliable engine and the lower end can withstand the punishment. The pressed in crank pin is the weakest link in the whole equation. I'm at a loss as to why they can't design a one piece crankshaft for these engines. They STILL rely upon a 3 piece crank assembly and dumb ass primary chain drive. WHY???????

    S&S guy "...because it's what we do, proven performance for v-twin motor cycles" ... "we went with the Challenger because its the fastest and easiest way to do it".
    So you're proving your ability to make a fast v-twin by taking the easiest path. If you want show how good you are do it with an antiquated old air cooled banger. now that would be impressive.
