Default New guy.

Hello all, I'm Mike stumbled apon this site looking for answers on some heads I'm looking to get done. If I'm going with the correct ones or should I just do the upgrade now and be done. I bought last year an 08 fatbob. Fuelmoto 107 kit quite a bit of upgrades already but I think we can get a little more out of it. Thinking about going to a 110 and some bottom end work done. But that will be for winter. Really not a motor guy but since I got this bike I'm learning more and more. The 107 didn't have any headwork don't like CR or ACR put in so cold start is 220psi and eating up my starter. But we'll get into that. Thanks for the ad and so far from what I've read thus far. I'm in the correct spot. Sounds like some really knowledgeable people here. 👍

@Mykal03 I have moved this thread from the Welcome section to the Engine Mechanical Topics section as you will get better responses to your question in this section.

The Welcome section is more for introducing yourself & letting other forum members know what Harley Davidson you own. Please feel free to post a new thread back in the Welcome area to introduce yourself.
