Default 2007 Deluxe Performance Recomendations

Here's the deal, I just spent a buttload on the show aspect of my bike, now I need the "Go" part.

I've been lurking around here a bit reading everyones ideas on performance enhancing for theirbikes and was wondering what suggestions you could make to me regarding adding HP and Torque to my current bike configuration.

Right Now I havethe 2007 Deluxe twin-cam fuel injected motor (stock)with Samson 28.5 inch True-DualLongtailswith a HD SE Stage 1 and a Thundermax.

I want to increase power over the entire "range" of gears but stillmaintain rideability andengine longevity ( Idon't hot rod the bike to much) I want/need over 110 HP

What engine components do I need to make this all happen?

Thanks and I more than appreciate your responses Gentlemen.

Around $2 grand BUT if I can spend less and get the performance I want....all the better.

I recently had a HD Tech guy tell me that a 203 or 204 camin conjunction withmy stock heads bored out woulddeliver the performance I need.

I am a novice at the performance upgrades so I am hoping to learn from you guys.

I don't believe you will reach 110 hp with $2000.00 and I will add your HD tech telling you that you can reach this number with stock heads and a 203 or 204 cam is dreaming.

OK, back to the original question then, what engine performance equipment do I need to realize 110 HP AND how much should I expect to pay for it?

BTW....I like the performance options/packages offered by Head-Quarters http://www.head-quarters-usa.com/cus...ntype07st.html

Thanks.

Head Quarters is a good choice along with what Hillside Cycles and GMR packages. If I where you I would contact them all and ask about their packages and prices and I would suspect all of them suggesting to go to another exhaust system other than what your running now for optimum results with their builds.

Call & chat with Doug at Head-Quarters. He'll help ya identify what best suits you needs. I would encourage you to make a list of your goals, preferences, riding style etc and have that available while chatting. Also TAKE NOTES while you speak with him.

Things to consider:
Performance
Rideability
Reliability
Easy Starting
Fuel that is readily and commonly available
Riding style: solo/2up, city / counrty / touring / barhopping / etc
What elevation do you live at or most frequently ride?

I would think a 107 Sport package would get you what you're after and then some. Do not get caught up in numbers, though.... remember: RIDEABILITY & RELIABILITY!

Doug is a very busy guy, so you might have to leave him a message. If that is the case, he WILL call you back.
