Harley-Davidson racing Sidecar
Whitney Brothers Pikes Peak Hill Climb bike


The old engine raced in 1997
52 Horsepower @ 5200 RPM, and 60ft-lbs Torque @ 3200 RPM

Clearly a lot of room for improvement in tuning,
but why waste our time on such an old and tired engine!

For 1998, we replaced it with a more modern 1200cc Evolution Sportster,
with performance "enhancements" by Bartels' Harley-Davidson.
Now we've got 80 Horsepower
