We took delivery and brought it back for the pipes/air cleaner/tuner. While it was there, the weather went south so had them PC and I ordered a bunch of goodies for them to throw on. So this is how she sits for now.
This is a great idea, especially for us new guys!
Quick rant, that I'm sure everyone here already knows about, but I just found out. So I'm in the process of blacking out my breakout. I have the Big Radius 2-2 chrome, So i called Vance and Hines to get a quote on black heat shields... $600!!! for just the shields! I was blown away. Is there any reason behind this??

not powder coat.. Ceramic coat. I had to do that with my vance and hines, because they don't have mine in black. HPC Coatings did my heat shields for about $100 on my mufflers.
or jethot
what are the best things I could do to get more power? I have vance big radius and a better intake. I learned that I can get it up to 120mph in fourth gear. Logged 15,000 miles since June.

Kind of a loaded question there. What is best for one may not be best for all. You can do a turbo, supercharger, nitrous etc.. If you want a drag bike and all the maintenance that goes with it.
Also your not saying if it's a 103 or 110 motor. Need more information on if you want it really realible and broad power or peak power.

Buy an old liter bike if you want to go faster than 120mph. Would be cheaper too.
In all seriousness, visit the tuning section of the forums. So many options you can do it's crazy. Go where it gets discussed and start searching. It will take a while to learn exactly what YOU want, so be patient.
