RE: When did you do your performance mods?
If I ever purchased a new Harley, I would drive it awhile before the mods. I would like to know how it once ran, especially if I had problems after the mods, it would be like X-mas all over again after the mods and I would do a before and after dyno runs so I could see what the mods did.

My Ultra has 1 mile on it and I'm going to wait until I get my 1000 mi check up before I do anything just in case there is something wrong right out of the box. I have Ovals in the basement and a Big Sucker and Thundermax w/auto tune on order so I may just take one long trip, maybe 500 miles from home

I have a 1000 miles on my Bob and building some heads for it as we speak. I would have done mods earlier but always busy working on everyone else's stuff. You have to flip

Check withy your dealer as to what his policy is in regards to performance parts added to your bike and how it may affect warrantee in his eyes. If he OK's it go for it.

RE: When did you do your performance mods?
Dealer said to wait til after 1000 mile service. Did exhaust and air cleaner at 1319 miles. Power Commander at 1422 and tonite at 1516 miles it just got finished a 103 BB with 251 cams, headwork and SERT. Can't wait to pick it up! After I break it in for 500 miles we'll change oil and dyno it.
