I wish. Hind sight I shoulda bought an evo. I was new to HD and bought a bran new 07 thinking it would be better than anything previous. Boy was I wrong. Nothing but a $$$ pit. Hopefully this new S&S 124" will last longer than the stocker. Ive replaced/repaired everything but the wire harness and front end.
Several here have recently gone with a big inch motor.
Man am I jealous!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i have not. after reading through the forums i've heard so many "waste of my money" reviews on cams that i got a bit scared off. plus i had an old timer once tell me, "never tear down a running bike" and that kind of stuck in my head for one reason or another.

My wife and plans of a new kitchen are not! Kirby should be done with it in a week or so. Says it should be about 130/130. Still not twice as fast as an evo but the engine alone will cost as much as a runner.

I received the same kind of advice before I bought my Harley. With the exception of the stage 1 upgrade, my motor is completely stock and will stay that way until it needs work to be done.

My TC sounds like an Evo, feels like one when I am riding it and is way better long distance than any of my Evos have been...my TC has a Carby and will get gear drive cams when it next needs lifters.
The frame, tranny and running gear are all the same as my Evo but it doesn't have an issue with base gaskets and (stock) was faster than my Ev27 Evo.
Most TC haters have never ridden one for any amount of time.
It doesn't matter what ya ride but it does matter where your head is at....

I rode a stock '06 Heritage that was no where near as fast as mine with an EV-27. It may have been due to the B-motor that is in the softails.
As for the last line when are you gonna post pictures of you on that pink moped??????
