Early Shovelhead

1/4 mile times for a 1980 Harley Davidson FXS Shovelhead Lowrider?
I had a question earlier, and I think I'm going to purchase this. The stats show it tops out at 102mph, and has 67hp. Any idea what this will run in the 1/4 mile? I'm looking for some nice acceleration. It has the 1340cc engine. Any quick add-ons that will improve acceleration? (screaming eagle stuff?)

Thanks for the help!
I'll bet it will run a little faster than 102 mph top speed. I had a '78
Shovelhead SuperGlide that topped out at 118. You should have plenty of acceleration.
No you won't run with the sport-bike crowd but then again you wouldn't be looking at this bike if that's what you wanted.
