OK, imagine this: You've ridden several hundred or maybe even several thousand miles to hit the grand-daddy of all motorcycle rallies, Sturgis. Your old stock 88 ran great-not a single hiccup the entire trip, although it could have used a little more juice a couple of times when passing those big rigs along the way. Now the rally's almost over, and you're dreading the long road home. What could make the trip home more enjoyable than breathing some new life into your old stocker with a freshly beefed-up 95ci motor producing upwards of 105 lb-ft of torque and 110 hp? That would probably make the ride home a little more exciting, huh? Hell, it might even encourage you to take the long way home!
So now you're probably asking yourself, "How can I find a reputable shop in a town I don't know that can build me a reliable 95-incher, won't rip me off, and will still be around next year when I need a tuneup?" The answer is simple: Speed's Performance Plus (SPP). Not only can Speed's hop up your motor, change your oil, install new pipes, and much more, the company will do it for you at just about every major rally across the nation.
With a mobile workshop better equipped than many shops, SPP is on the road, towing its dyno room/engine-building room/machine shop/retail store/portable workstations/living quarters throughout the rally season. For the most part you'll find Speed (Wayne, the owner of the company), along with his sons Jamie and Jason and the rest of the crew, set up in the same locations at each rally, banging out motor builds, installing parts, and tuning bikes. Whether you're looking to have a Power Commander installed or want to take the stumble out of your ride, Speed and the boys have you covered.
Now, what about that 95-incher, you say? Well, SPP teamed up with Reggie Ronzello Sr. and Reggie Jr. of R&R Cycles to develop a 95-inch kit for both carbureted and fuel-injected 88ci bikes. It took many hours of research and testing to compile a list of components that work well together, along with developing some of their own proprietary parts to come up with a kit that allowed the team at SPP to achieve 116 lb-ft of torque and 122 hp on one of the company's own bikes.
