That bike you have has the shovelhead starter in it, and as a result of that you have about all the performance you can have, with out a Hi output starter Like all ***** and bigger amp battery -- the bikes with a kicker on them were easyer to put power to them than that one - johnjzjz

65 HP with my stock MM injection. After 10:1 Weisco's, EV 3030 cams , heads flowed and a good air cleaner, exhaust and tuner I was running close to 80 hp. Reliable too. Sold it at 65,000 miles on the odometer still running strong.
( Never touched the starter either.)

A 1998 Road King has a Shovelhead starter in it? ( My '98 Ultra didn't.)
