It's really very simple. If you put your Harley on our dyno, and it makes over 85 horsepower, you get a free patch. The patch proclaims your membership in one of four classes:

What makes being a member of the Big Dog Club so special isn't the free patch: It's the fact that if you have one, your motor did good! 84.9 horsepower won't get you a patch, onto our web site, or into the Big Dog Club!

• We now categorize the Big Dogs by the year they were inducted.
• Engine horsepower will be shown on the left side of the graph.
• Engine torque will be shown on the right side of the graph (if available).
• Engine RPM will be shown on the bottom of the graph (if available).
• All graphs will be posted with a "smoothing" value of 4 (unless it drops the peak horsepower below 85, in which case the smoothing will changed to 3 -> 2 -> 1).
• New for 2002 and beyond:
  • If you have an 85c.i. engine, you must make 85+ horsepower.
  • If you have an 88c.i. engine, you must make 90+ horsepower.
  • If you have a 95c.i. engine, you must make 95+ horsepower.
  • Anyone who makes 100+ horspower is in (no engine size restrictions).

We now present the Big Dogs:
