HD performance heads ?
06 FLHRI
Looking to have my stock heads ported or buy the HD performance head.
Dealer will do all the mods I want and that includes the new heads for $2000.
A top notch independant motor shop will do the same mods, but would work
with my stock heads for $2800. My question is, which is better, reworked stock
heads or new SE heads? Also, HD can't give me gear driven cams.

RE: HD performance heads ?
I've already bought SE air kit, SERT, and S&S slip on mufflers.
Dealer and outside shop would be charging me labor to install
these items and do a dyno tune.
In addition,dealer will give me SE heads and HD cams. Around $1600 to $1700 total
Outside shop would give me Andrew driven cams and port my stock head. $2800 total
Dealer price is about $400 less than I stated in my first post,because I'd forgotten
I was buying pipes elsewhere.

Sounds like porting the stock heads might be the way to go.
I live an hours drive south west of Kittery. How long a drive from there
to your shop in Agusta?
I 'am staying stock bore for now, but will probaly end up with 95" in time.
I'd like to be able to use the same heads at a later date,if I go to a 95".
If thats possible.

Just a suggestion here, that if you are planning a 95 and can swing it now somehow, you are almost there once the heads are off and would save you a good deal of labor unless you are doing it yourself.
