Picture yourself stopped at a signal astride your Harley-Davidson Fat Boy, with a liter-class sports bike rolling up beside you. As your eyes meet, nods are exchanged, and both of you prepare for the sprint ahead. It's a familiar scenario: despite any early advantage you might gain, there's a high probability the superbike will effortlessly streak past you. Superbikes, after all, boast over 200 horsepower, a figure dwarfing the Harley's output by more than half.
But what if there were a way to morph your Fat Boy into a behemoth, boasting over 200 horsepower, capable of outpacing these more potent machines? Enter Britain’s TTS Performance, creators of such a marvel. Here's the scoop.
Yes, you read it correctly. TTS Performance's dynamometer tests reveal that the modified Fat Boy pumps out an impressive 232 horsepower and 205 pound-feet of torque. This marks a staggering 130-horsepower increase from its stock 94-HP output, accompanied by an 80-pound-feet surge in torque. To put this into perspective, these power figures surpass even the mighty 226-HP Kawasaki Ninja H2. And it all kicks in much earlier in the RPM range, promising a white-knuckle ride.
What's the secret behind this monumental power boost? A slew of engine enhancements spearheaded by a supercharger kit, a specialty of TTS Performance. At its heart lies a Rotrex C30-94 counterclockwise supercharger, bolted directly to the crankshaft, delivering 16 pounds of boost. This is complemented by a bespoke intercooler for the charger and a new oil cooler for the engine. On the opposite side of the engine sits a plenum chamber, typically housing the air filter.
But that's not all. This particular machine boasts a Screamin’ Eagle kit, boosting its cubic capacity from 1,868cc to 1,917cc, along with a SE-515 high-performance camshaft and modified cylinder heads. Furthermore, it sports a straight two-into-two exhaust, producing an earth-shattering roar.
Here are the key specs:
- Power: 232 horsepower
- Torque: >200 pound-feet
- Transmission: Six-speed
- Engine: Screamin’ Eagle 117ci
- Exhaust: Full-system two-into-two
The Harley-Davidson Supercharger Kit is available for $7,000.
