PM Dalton, PhilM, Hotpursuit, lrk0, Chicago Spike, Asuperheat, Cigar Critic, Mentor 70--many happy HQ customers on HDF--these are just a few that come quickly to mind.

Try the "search" function and you'll find a ton of threads.

all my expectations were met and then some, great tech support.

The HQ ignitions for the carbed bike curves are spot on.

cams make great torque, quality of hand porting is second to none.

Default My build...

My 95" HQ build was done by a guy who does ONLY HQ builds. He could use anything he wants to, but chooses to stick using HQ components. He does a lot of builds.
I recall he has done close to 10 this year so far, and this is a hobby for him.
He holds down a real job. He is also a member on this site.

Why don't you go check out the following...

I've got the HQ 95 Touring build in my 03 fatboy: 10:1, 0039 cams. Dynoed at 97HP, 105 torque with a marginal tune.

Woohooooo,
HQ is the shiznit, my 120 is a blast to ride! Great quality, great support and a very rideable bike getting good mileage. You can't go wrong with one of their builds.

We just installed a HQ-0034 cams in my dads Road King. We haven't redynoed the bike yet or done any tuning yet. But the bike pulls like crazy. A local engine builder suggested the cams and I have to say it is a very good cam. I'm very interested to see the dyno numbers after some tuning. His bike is a stock 88ci, Rhinehart true duals, and a big kit for the air cleaner. Recommend Headquarters to everyone.

I had a HQs 103 sport touring on my 07 SG -- it was a blast to ride -- I could do a 15 - 20 foot rolling burnout---do clutch induced wheelies (that's how I crashed the bike--be careful doing wheelies in the parking lot) the only two bikes I could not beat in my club was a 113 and 107 (maybe I think it was more of 110+).

The HQs motor stood up to the abuse and all that I could throw at it---I now have a 08 RG and you guessed it going for the HQs 107 next month--there craftmanship is flawless -- the rideablity of the bike is exceptional does not run hot, gets good gas mileage, and you can stunt--my favorite is getting the bike sideways --- let it cruise at 5 - 10mph -- get the revs up to about 4k, drop the clutch and hold on---
