FIRST thing I did!!!!
06 DYNA Superglide with Progressive 11" heavy duty on the rears with a VROD dual disk BREMBO front end w/ lyndell's and a SOLID vrod 3x19 Metz wheel and tire. Gunna prolly put in that valved dampener that is the new goodie to get. Just gonna put a set of lyndell's on the stock rear brake.

So now I am looking at the motor. I need a D&D fatcat !!! dont wanna get that just yet.. used so I can ceramic them and shotgun the black heat shields. The dual PYTHONS will have to do for a little bit. So is the cc's better? just 95 it real quick? Cost me less than $700. Or do I do a mild cam now and do my WOODS later. But that HQ500 is a swweettt mellow cam. Could prolly take the 95" kit with that cam.

I know some would say fuel management - I got a T-Max w/ auto tune.

I wouldnt mind a low cost street port. Where to get it tho? Only problem is when I do the heads she is going big valve with spings and roller rockers with a port job. BUT??? Can I get a $300 "street" port job on stock valves and compression and then to just do the WOODS cam even with questionable exhaust , stock compression and valves. Basically putting in the end cam on a stock motor. Meaning just a stage 1.

So what would net me the biggest bang for the buck. Come on gear heads. Think how good is the flow on those TC88 heads. Will the springs hold? I am not that good with the TC motor, I build shovel motors.

power comes on at 1K and pulls to 5K, maybe to 5.5K. Think a very fast tractor. Pull a school right off its foundation. Going 95/98 inch, stay out of the bottom for now. Otherwise Darkhorse it.
I only play when I can embarress ya, so ya I wanna smoke him. So much so that it will be obvious its the bike not the rider... lol
