Any thoughts of going with a high performance 2 into 1 exhaust to bump her into the 100s?

Success!!! I down loaded the dyno sheet.

2008 Nightster

Stage 1 at 79 hp and 76 torque
S E PRO SUPERTUNER and dyno tune
K&N Custom Air Cleaner model # RK-3929
Stock exhaust with baffles removed

Stage 3? at 98 hp and 83 torque (with that same stock exhaust)
from HD SE pro racing parts book
S E PRO CNC PORTED Heads #16500074
S E PRO XL1200 Hi Comp Pistons #22711-04A
S E PRO Hi Output Cam # 25740-05
S E Perfecr Fit push Rods #18424-06
gasket kit #17049-04A
cam gasket # 25263-90D

I got the tuner off of ebay, three years ago $300
I got the Harley parts 15% off msrp, no tax.
Total of all parts was less than $2000 and I ebayed the heads for $350

I'm a happy camper

That's what I use, 'Microsoft Office Picture Manager', hiding under 'Microsoft Office Tools' menu.

When you get there, there is a drop-down menu called 'Picture', under which you will find 'Resize'. I normally make a copy of the original photo, so I keep one at full size and reduce the copy to 800x600 for posting on HDF.
