V-Thunder 3000 only! BOOOOOORRRRING dammit, sell something of Spanners or pimp him out to get coin that gets that RK moving, if the RK is ahead of them going into the corner, the pattern will continue at the next corner.

Before you go to bed each night, say to yourself 100 times and click boots together "Road Kings can be fast" "Road Kings can be fast"

No such thing as too fast for a 700+ lb machine. Lets see, a 3010 cam, reworked carb, dyna ignition, 2-1 exhaust would get ya rolling fairly well.

I'm not really looking for more HP...it's more of an exercise in preventative maintenance because the bike has 96k miles on it and I don't know the service history, so replacing the lifters is for piece of mind so while we are at it may as well do the cam and bearing as well and inspect the jugs.

I am curious.
If this is all just a maintenance thing because of mileage why don't you send the motor back for a reman then you will get all new parts not just a few.

Yeah I know about budgets and I'm not really trying to trash yours but if you just want piece of mind then you can't go wrong with a factory reman.
