Looks pretty cool to me.

I guess if you are going for the ultimate in top end power twin carbs are best but it seems to be the wrong direction for the torque monster motor. BTW, the Harley FXR frame handled pretty darn well and it wasn't too hard to get the FXRS down to 600 pounds. They never sold too well though 'cuz they didn't have the right "look" that HD customers were after.
