Default 100 Horsepower Sportster

I'm looking for some input from some of you who have logged a little dyno time. I've got a 100 hp goal for my bike and need to know what the next logical steps are, naturally aspirated. So far:

'06 883-1200 conversion
-bored stock jugs
-Keith Black reverse dome pistons

1200 SE ignition module

Forcewinder air cleaner

Python 2 into 1 exhaust

SE Plugs

SE Wires

Is any of this a waste?

Anyone have any idea where I'm at now?

What are my next steps?

Thanks a ton.

Thank you.

I was figureing on that. Dual plugs, right? and then I'm thinking a HP cam.

Anyone have any idea about where I'll be or what else I need?

Appreciate the input.

I know of one Sporty that has been dynoed at 105 HP, very radical cam, lots of dollars spent on head work. !00 hp cannot be "bolted" on.

165 hp is insane. I didn't even think that was possible.

What are my next steps?
My vote(s):

cams, valve springs

a more "tunable" ignition (the SE is good, but mostly just raises the rev limit; an ignition where you can custom map will help you get more HP)

ported heads (Buells were mentioned and are a great idea as well)

and if you're able, get dyno'd (even before you do anything else) so you can see where your power opportunities are... The dyno tech (and others who can read the chart and also know your setup) will have some good ideas as to what next is best...

Good luck!

He said he wanted in NA so don't think he wants and forced induction but man would that be a blast to have.

Good info, thanks! I'll scrap the SE module. How do I know which Buell heads are compatible with a 06 motor? And does anyone know where I can get info on a good tunable ignition for an 06? This is a bit of a learning experience for me so I appreciate everyone's help.
