Default More Beef

This may not make sense when I try to type it. I ride an 07 RK Classic (15K for mileage) and have decided to spend money doing Mods on it instead of spending the high price of a 2014.

So, in order to bring my 96 cid into 107 range; what type of motor work do I need to be looking at? like cams etc.. Obviously I'll have the work professionally done (mechanics never were my thing) as soon I find somebody in SW Missouri codependent to do the work. Which eliminates the local HD dealer!

Also what is everybody's opinion on "oil coolers"? Good, bad, indifferent?



Peace-out

From what I've heard, it should be easy to find a codependent mechainc in Missouri!
