Motor is stock internally with Arlen Ness "Big Sucker" air cleaner and H-D by Kerker 2 into 1 exhaust and muffler.

Bike runs really well with this setup.
I guess I was asking u both. That's a nice setup Yea the 17.5 is a tad small. I had that same jets but now moved up to a andrews 21 cam... Let me tell us that 21 cam and the mukuni are some combo. That andrews 21 cam is a monster down low of torque best 600$ I ever spent

Thanks for the info. I'm not sure how its set up now because I just bought the bike 300 miles ago. Don't know what cams it has either but it seems to start breathing good around 3800 rpms, (pulled away from a 380HP Dodge Challenger). Runs really smooth, just seems kinda cold natured and I keep having to adjust the idle, which seems best around 1150/1200 rpms. I'll get that PDF, thanks people.

I have same 95" Dyna with SE heads and it gets around 50 MPG and runs perfectly(96 HP). They used to come with a "mileage kit" in the box and i used it. It was just a couple of jets and another needle. Sounds like you may have something like an Andrews TW55G. That's about the RPM mine takes off.

Truckerdave, I love to hear a V-Twin screaming at 6k rpms. Gas mileage??? Last tank was 38. Probably need a new air filter, and a little less wrist;-)
