Default What have U done to Ur motor

1. Left motor stock,

2. Stg 1 only,

3 Stg 1 and Cams,

4 Stg 1, Cams and BB kit, Headwork opt,

Just wondering how many have actually done work to their motor and what did U do to make your bike better and stronger.

Call me strange, but I like the looks and sound of my stock pipes. The 96" is the first HD motor I've felt that way about, but it's true. I've always hated taking perfectly serviceable, very expensive pipes off my bike and replacing them with lesser cost pipes to be heard. I know they aren't the loudest, quiet even if you must, but they're plenty throaty for me and too many people are complaining about excessively loud motorcycles. It's just a matter of time before they're outlawed.

Been boring a and stroking Harleys over 35 yrs.Latest creation is an all billet 6061T beauty.The power and torque increase is beyond description.Anybody that has the desire should have a chance to own and ride one of the latest big inch bruisers.You would never go back.

The only stock parts of my motor are the two halves of the case. 88 to 103, Timken conversion & gear drive. Bike runs 1000% better than stock.

I've done plenty, and now it's as it should have been from the factory, in my opinion.
Specifics are in my sig line....

I'm with rthomp on this one......only stock item left is the case halves (yesh, they've been split). 113" motor. Come to think of it, the only stock thing on the bike after this week will be the oil tank, tranny, triple trees, and frame itself.
