Is anybody running Head Quarters builds? I had good luck with them on my '91 Springer, and was going to install their 107 kit on my 2007 Road King until I sold it. Hope this link works:

The link didn't work for me. Read post #17; you are tagging on a very old thread. Headquarters builds may be the best since sliced bread but not many takers on this or other forums. From the little I know about their kits, one needs to go all the way with them, i.e. heads and cams to get the best results; not going to get that for $1000.
Anyway, the link works for me, don't know what's different. You could copy-paste it into your browser if interested. Their kit includes their cams and their electronic ignition and they're saying their strong results are achieved with stock heads untouched. I wonder why they aren't more prevalent on the forums, treated me very well but that was back in 1994, a lot of water under the bridge. If I was building a twin cam I'd include them as an option.

Well, took Dave's advice and used my index finger and the link worked; Dave is so smart.
I don't know why Headquarters hardware is not more prevalent on this and other forums. I do know that years back, late '90s and earyl '00s, you did see some HQ builds and HQ was active on the HTT forum. Don't know why forum interest in HQ hardware has diminished. Based on the dyno posted in the link, looks like that kit works pretty well. Those are pretty salty numbers for a big bore kit and cams with no head work.
