Default Engine Upgrade

Can someone tell me specifically what I need to upgrade my 96" 2007 Electraglide motor?

What options?
What size?

I just need a list of parts that I will need. I have someone to help install it all, but want a non biased (dealer or local shop guy) person to tell me what is needed.

Thank

Hd 120r, or s&s 124. All it takes is a little bank, and you too can be the envy of your friends.....

+1, can be built out to 107" with cams and ported heads, all parts included in their kit so no guess work on what to buy. And A/C and better exhaust if you haven't done a stage 1. Will also need a tuner if you dont already have one. Goes on and on....

So in other words, you're going to do to your bike what strangers tell you to do.. Go figure. You have the internet, probably a phone, look it up dude, it ain't that difficult.

Thanks for the info. I will keep learning and reading more.

Back play....I can tell that you are the type that would rather chastise than help...that's ok, you must be having a bad day. Your pleathura of knowledge is locked away so others cannot find it.

I guess it all depends on what you want out of your upgrade. You might check out the HD motor program; Stage 2,3 or 4. Or exchange for one of their crate motors. This page I've listed below gives you a lot of engine upgrade possibilities...
