Oko...did you do the 110 drop on or did Scott bore the cases? What were your results in the end, interested!

110" S&S heads, Bob Woods TW-6-6 cam. De-catted pipe, his head and port work.
Then the AIM clutch weights with E-Z Pull. Approx. $6100 I had asked for a reliable touring engine with more torque and NOT to wring out every ounce of horse power.
Here's the Dyno sheet:

When I did stage one on my 14 103 HO it was alot more than I was expecting . I went with the S&S Stealth air cleaner , removed the cat from my stock head pipes ,almost as good as aftermarket 2 -1- 2 pipes, Rush Big Louie slip on's 2" baffles ( came with the bike ) and a V&H FP3 , it added some power but the responsiveness was the real surprise for $500.00 , 103HO's really like to breath , wakes em up.
If it were me I'd start there , biggest bang for the buck IMO , you will never get that big a smile for that cheap again.
My next step is going big bore , cams , pistons , heads , clutch , TTS tuner , Dyno tune but thats gonna be in the 4K + range having them do all the work.

Not at all , I believe the traditional Teardrop cover is one of the choices for the Stealth from S&S as well , it's not what was used in this video and I actually use a HD cover on mine , thats the nice thing about it is you can use dozens of different covers with it .
