RE: 2006 wide glide question
I have gone from the stock 44mm to a 48mm & it does help HP #'s , but I've been told that the larger TB's can reduce velocity and cylinder fill.
I do not think it's beneficial on a 95" build. Mine is a 98" & makes great torque & HP, but I can't help but think that it might have been even better had I not gone that route, even w/the 98". Just my opinion.... I'm sure others will chime in.

I think (but could be wrong) that the '06 Dynas came stock with a slightly bigger 48mm TB. Check part numbers to be sure. I wouldn't think a 50mm would make enough of a differance to be worth the expense.

IMO its not worth it not enough HP gain for the money. You say your doing the heads go ahead and clean up the TB and intake with a dremmel and make sure the intake and the head ports don't have a step in them.
