And, just for fun, here's a custom LS-218 delivered not too long ago.

LS-218 built for drag racing with swing arm extensions - 250 HP at the rear wheel, 275 HP at the motor shaft - over 1,100 lb ft of torque at the rear wheel - 490 lbs. - under 2 lbs/HP - verified numbers on the Dynojet chassis dynomometer. It is a beast!

Doesn't look like this bike is delivered. Peter, owner of a biker bar in Hollister, went over to the Lightning factory and shot a video today which caught my eye because the machine looked familiar.

Oh shut up Morgan, it's just in for it's 3000 mile timing chain adjustment so the diesel heads fire in synch.  Those electric kanuten flappers get temperamental at times, especially when the spark plugs widen under the yaw of such a tremendous load on them!   You are such a conspiracy nut!
