I own a 1997 Harley Eletra Glide Classic full dress with the 1340cc motor.How much horse power does this engine produce stock?

I've heard about 65 at the fly wheel. I think thats being generous.


You can have it cheap.
You can have it fast.
You can have high quality.
PICK ANY 2....

I heard about 65 too.


To expect to be perfect is unreasonable, to strive for perfection is reasonable.

It's actually lower. According to the latest HOG magazine--if that can be believed--a Twin Cam 96 produces 67 BHP.

Back in the day a good shovel was rated at about 45 BHP. If you consider an ever increasing improvement in motors, and the technology in efficiency, that would make the 1340 motor just about split the difference.

That's 55 BHP, and that sounds right.

The real number that's important with V-style engines in their torque figures.
