Default Head Porting, any recommendations

In the Southern California Area,

After I decided on the package I would use, and thanks guys, for all the help and suggstions, your words and knowledge paid off. I used Jim at Cycle Vision in San Diego. He worked for Bobbie Woods for a while and did an excellent job the reaper. His work survived the hit my bike took last month. Kenny Henderson is awesome as well. Kenny can be found at Biggs now.

If I was to do it all again, I'd send my work out to one of the shops noted, and not even waste the time and or $$. As some one says "Done once Done Right" I had a hard time learning that.

Just my two cents for what it's worth.

BD.

Default Se 110"

Seems like several of you in this area seem to know your stuff. I purchased my first ever Ultra SE with 110". I just had a 07 Ultra with a 96" that I had built into a 103" with head work, cams, throttle body pipe, tuner etc. etc. It was all good and performed very well but with this one I am strongly leaning towards just doing my pipe which will be another 2:1 Fat Cat a SE Heavy Breather intake and after that I am undecided. I am thinking a tuner? and maybe cams and then not venture into all the areas I went with my 07. I guess I just want to wake it up a bit and run it. Any suggestions or a link to a article or website would be helpful.

Prez welcome to the forum ...
that 110 that you have will respond nicely to a good tune and a good pipe, the fat cat you mentioned is a great start.
now get a TTS for it and ill try and get you in contact with a tuner in your area.
ill ask around.
when you are ready to open it up further then get some head work and a cam .
I prefer Baisley heads and a T_Man 590 or 625 cam but there are a few other people out there
hillside has had great success using their heeads and tw8 cam.
thiose 2 combos i know will produce some serious power.

SEDELUXE, if two sponsors complained and the moderators pulled hillsides sponsorship, they must of been legitimate complaints. You seem to have first hand knowledge of this. Could you let us know why? I would not only want to know the quality of work but also the character of the people I'm going to give my hard earned dollars to.

If you are around Houston Tx there is a builder named Wolfgang Grasser. Actually in Baytown Tx.
Does really fine work.

Deweysheads is absolutely correct on this. If you want the unbiassed opinions on this, go to the moderators who made the determination on this after reviewing "all" of the evidence. Ask BVBOB, SPRINGER, and YANKEEBOB. Get it right from the horses mouth.
