Default 2002 wide glide CVO

looking for a little more power. Would cams with nothing else be ok? and What heads would you put on if I went that way also. Anyone have dyno numbers with a cam swap? Not looking for a big bore kit yet, with only 10,000 miles on my bike


Thanks a lot

To get more power out of a Harley you need nitromethane!
A Harley is a cruiser. Buy a fast bike and keep the Harley to cruise. 2 bikes is better than one slow one with tons on money dumped in it.

Lol. Not what I asked. If people didn't care about more power why did Harley go from the 88" to the 96" and now the 103" not looking for a hotrod just would like a little bit more power that's all. And what would guys do. That's it. Not looking for stupid comments or jackasses.

Just being honest. I have a brand new 103 and it is SLOW! It's only like 80 hp.
I can spend $5000 and have 85 hp. WOW!

How is this helpful? The dude wants more power. Some people want to change the looks of their bike. Are you going to tell them to not do that?
I say, follow what ever path you want to with your bike.

Is the bike completely stock?
I would think that you would want improved intake and exhaust before or with a cam swap.

He can do whatever he wants. I am just pointing out you can spend a fortune and not gain but a few horsepower. Lots of people don't understand that. I know Harley guys that put Screamin Eagle slip on pipes and cams and believe they have a nine second bike.

Bike just has the everything eveyone does. Vance and hines exhaust and air cleaner. It runs out real good yet, no problems. Just like messing with stuff. Always like to learn and make stuff better. I'm a machinist so I'm not dumb. Mechanically inclinded. Just wanna maybe add some stuff hear and there. Its my dream bike. Always wanted the 2002 CVO. Blue and silver. Thank you AKFXD I'm a huge snowmobiler and am on hardcore sledder. There's guy that bash on there too

We don't have any snowmobiles here in Alaska. We have a lot of snowmachines though.
Are you looking at spending a little money here and there and over time build up your bike?
Do you have some sort of tuner/fuelpak on your bike?
