Not likely to happen since most Boss Hoss' have 2 speed trannies.

At a local bike night we'll get about 5-10 Boss Hoss' out there. Half are trikes but all the pilots are mid life crisers. Plus they are the biggest squids at the meet (Even over sportbikes). They'll go up and down the street doing burnouts and reving up. All are 502s.

Most of the Boss Hoss bikes have a chevy 350 in them but another very popular motor is the chevy 502 and the bike only wieghs maybe 1000-1200 lbs. Therefore one can run a VERY tall final gear ratio. If they had normal car final ratios, then it would spin the rear wheel literally everywhere. And if first gear takes it to 100+, and second can take you to 180+, why would want a third? Especially on a cruiser?
