Default Heads need info

I have a 2004 FLHT classic, I am going to be upgrading to a 95 and looking for a set of heads I could send out for porting. Just need to know what years are compatible with my motor.

99-05 will all fit. the 06's will fit as well but need different intake set up.

All 99-06 Twin Cam heads are compatible with your engine. The '06's would require new intake flanges from the dealer, less than $10.

IMO, I like the '05 heads best. They offer the 7mm valves, lighter valve train components and the exhaust port has more material to work with than the '06 casting. The 99-04 and 06 heads are fine as well and I would not hesitate to use them if they are easier to find.
