If he really wanted to pull stumps, a big bore kit, a fair amount of head work and a 48 would really move him on down the road.

I currently run a 21 but my understanding is the 26 wakes up with higher compression, but it isn't needed, just gives him options for more motor work later. I like that the torque on the 21 comes on sooner.

The 26 will roll 95 hp, 105-107 ft/lbs., quite often, with instant delivery.

Remember if you go with motor work of a camshaft or more you more than likely will need to consider upgrading your tuning device. Just keep that in mind when planning your next move.

All good options on here. Since you have a 2000 model you have a good crank and the run out is most likely nill or close to it. I would recommend gear drive cams. There is initial cost but when you're done there is no more worries! I also recommend Axtell's Oil Bypass Valve while you're there. It seems to lower pressure at high rpm and raises it at idle. I was really impressed at the idle pressure. It also bypasses to the cam cavity and not just back to the suction side of the pump so there isn't any foaming and sheering going on. BTW I have no connections to Axtell or Zipper's, just my experience with the product.
I'm running Andrew's 21G cams with a 95" motor with 9.2 cr and what I guess is called stage ll heads? 1.9 intakes and ported? This is a great combo. Raise the compression a little and use 26G cams would be very similar with a little more high end.
Like I said, all good stuff!

Just because I'm curious, what would a setup like that run? My dad's got a '02 Police Electraglide.
Call hillside. Google 98 kits and you'll see , then add the headwork and cams if they aren't included. Then you'll find there is more yet. Labor of you can't do Everthing yourself.

The bike currently does get up and go, but I have to really jump on the throttle; mostly upper RPM to really get it going.
Thanks! (sorry for the hijack!)
