Default Rocker Motor Performance Modifications

I see a lot of cosmetic mods in our threads, is anyone planning any performance upgrades besides basic exhaust and race tune? Besides rims, I'm looking to do some high performance motor upgrades, curious if any of you were in the process of the same..

Thanks

Default 103 stage 2

I did the SE 103in big bore kit and I love it. I highly recommend it. I did the Stage 2 kit with the SE 255 cams. My Rocker runs great and pulls like crazy. I haven't had it dyno'd but I can tell you I walk away from stock or slightly modified 96in bikes easily. It has a slight lope at idle when warm that sounds great as well. The only other mod besides the kit are V & H - BR pipes with the baffles cut in half. If I had to make an honest, educated guess I'd say it makes right around 90HP. Thats based on comparing it to lots of other bikes I ride with including several that have been dyno'd. One buddy has a Titan that dyno'd at 87.4 with a 96in S & S evo motor and its close but I'm a little faster.
