Default 96" mods
Besides the Stage 1 stuff, cams or upgrading to the 103" what other performance mods are available for the 96? Any ignition upgrades available? Any feed back would be great. I have a 09 FXDB... Thanks in advance.

Can improve the heads.

I assume you're talking about mods to the motor, but you can certainly improve performance of the bike with mods to the suspension and brakes as well.

ignition would be a pointless upgrade. Cams, head work, big bore kit, oil cooler, suspension upgrades, tuning upgrades, tires, brakes, rotors, true track stabilizer(or sputhe). Lot's of stuff to make the bike go, corner, ride, and stop way better.

All great ideas...(Like the tank lift, LOL) Thanks for the feedback. If any one has had head work done...What did you have them do? Port and Polish? New valves?
