Cheers mate, I will be getting Dyno tuned and I am looking into the Screaming Eagle stuff as well.

Ok so Ihave contacted the dealer and they have recommended the Screaming Eagle 204 Cam kit including push rods and a Dyno tune. I am looking at getting that fitted with the RSD Air cleaner in the picture below. What do you all think please??

I think you will be very pleased with the results. On my 2007 Fatboy I used a Vance & Hines 2 into 1 Propipe, Doherty Machines Power Pac Intake (with power vents) and a Power Commander III. I had it dyno tuned at Speeds Performance. My bike does everything I need it to do for now. I did all the mods myself (except dyno tune of course) and saved HUGE money over what the dealer would have charged. When the top end gets worn, I will do jugs, cams and lifters at that time. I also installed a Screaming Eagle compensator to handle the extra torque. I have a quick, smooth bike now. Good luck with your mods. The sky's the limit if money is no object....

CAMS, not an easy choice. Gotta love the Search button and all the knowledge on this site!

It's very hard isn't it, listened to heaps an read very much feedback, not sure which way is right but will just try I suppose. Thanks Dr V, what do you think about where I am heading (no offence to anyone else, all great help), Thinking of the 103 upgrade later as well.

Might want to get a cover for that air filter setup if you ride in the rain (or if you get caught in it).

I have been caught in the rain with my open filter. It did not cause a problem. Now,mind you, this was not a torrential downpour. But I would most likely get off the road if that were the case. Light rain seems to be repelled by the oil on the filter. I do have a round cover that goes over the whole filter, but I leave it off unless doing a multi-day trip out of my home area.
