Go with the intercooled procharger system, at $6500 it's a bargain. You will be spanking Jap bikes, low 10-high 9's if you can launch it properly and find traction

The family car...our second one. When you have three kids, a hockey player, and buddies to drive around it is tough to beat. The mileage from the diesel is excellent and for trips, an absolute cruiser.

I'd skip the supercharger and do a turbo setup. Too much low end tq, the sudden hit will scissor the flywheels in a hurry. The turbo will give same power levels but with the softer power delivery down low, it will live a ton longer. Personally don'y care for the aesthetics of either setup, I'd go with a Star Racing prepped 126" S&S before either setup. Same rear wheel hp and don't have any of the jewellery hanging off it, wrecking the lines of the bike.. jmho

I've got hook ups on nearly any supercharger setup you could want! Just let me know

Turbos make so much heat, especially on a Harley, the Procharger has an intercooler, it's the hot set up right now. I worked with two bike builders recently and told them cost was not an issue, I just want big power an it to be reliable enough to drive cross country if I so choose and they both came back with the new intercooled Procharger as their recommendation.

To be fair not sure a turbo creates more heat vs a supercharger, when you compress the air is where the heat is generated. And there are a few companies like RB Racing and Trask Turbo's that have inter cooled turbo setups as well.
An S&S 124" with ported level B heads and their .640 cams, all blueprinted would dyno close to 160/160 at the wheel, and for my money all "motor" is the way to go, bike keeps it's great lines. But as they say, more than one way to the finish line!!

Who's doing your work? Post/pm me some pics when it's all put together? Curious to see how it all turns out, putting a build list together in my head for my cvo fugly next winter..

Pickard down in Dallas is doing my build. The build goal was to build a bike to go with my SLS BS. I stared with a 2014 Street Glide,the built motor and Procharger SC, lots of rake, 26" front wheel, custom tank and fenders, extended hard bags with doors that open like the gullwing doors on my SLS, exhaust tips machined to match the ones on my SLS that will exit through the hard saddle bags just like the exhaust exits through the rear bumper on the SLS. It is painted Mars Red just like my SLS, red and black alcantara seat, alcantra wrapped handlebars, alcantara wrapped grips all in the same colors and stiching as the SLS interior, wheels machined and painted to match the red Klassens on my SLS, air ride, air actuted kickstand, carbon fiber windsheild blade on fairing and some other cf bits here and there. Should be done pretty soon I will post photos when it is done.

That's a hell of a build. Love the batwing. had an '11 that I did some motor work to, made 114/118 on a 103", came up with a real nice combo

Assuming you'll enter it into some of the baddest baggers in texas shows this season? If not, should consider it, sounds like a killer build, congrats!

Modded 2010 Harley Edition F-450 and a '13 S5
Those Q5S's are damn nice. Considered trade the S5 in on one. Then Porsche announced the macan.

I had a CLA45 on order but it took so long and picked one of these up!

I couldn't wait till Aug for the Macan so I ended up with this

A Ducati Panigale R would be a more suited match to your SLS or even a HP4 Painted Mars Red...

I owned a Desmosedici, sold it about a year ago, IMO it is the best Duck ever produced. I put only about 200 miles on it and got offered an insane amount for it so I sold it. Panigales are nice but I would take an MV F4 before the Panigale for the simple fact that Panigale's are not all that rare where I live, they are everywhere. I have a new Norton Commando 961 on it's way as well. I buy a lot of bikes, I have probably owned 30 of them in the past 20 years. I don't get too attached to them though so I don't end up keeping them long. I will keep my AMG Diavel simply becuase it matches my C BS and I don't get rid of my cars, at least not my BS's

Luckily I don't have any dealer pics lol !!

These are the whats in my ' non garage ' lol




GT3 had to go :-( to make way for a more child friendly mode of transport, so X6 and C63 are in my current ' non garage ' below

Excuse the state of the 63 was very dirty when I took that



Better (cleaner ) pic

Wow, I just want to say that you guys have amazing cars and I am truly envious. I'm just an enlisted guy in the Coast Guard and had been saving my money for 2 years for a C63 until my wife and I had a pair of boys. All that money went towards a 2014 Honda Odyssey (didn't get the stupid vacuum). I'll sport my 2007 Subi for many years to come now. But I visit this forum every day and read every post with the dream that I'll one day own a C63 and be able to drive with you guys.

Really beautiful cars you guys have, truly.

You certainly sound like a humble individual.
This virtue shall take you far and with it and hard work your C63 shall soon be in your garage ..regardless you shall find much more happiness in your sons..until they get old enough to borrow it
