Default Advice for performance upgrades

I have a 2014 Heritage. I currently have Bassani 2-1 road rage pipes, a heavy breather that fits under the stock cover, and it's been tuned. I'm looking to get at least 110 HP out of it. I need cams and probably new intake. With all this extra power I'm wanting to get out of it, I think an oil cooler would be a good idea as well. What combination of parts would best get the kind of performance I'm looking for?

Probably cams, heads, 58mm throttle body. I am no engine builder but 110 takes more than cams I would think. Look at some kits that are out like on the fuel moto site. 107's on there are pretty stout. You question is pretty open to lots of different answers, how do you ride, are you 2 up a lot, how much do you weigh loaded for riding, are some of the questions that others with much more knowledge than I will need to try and help you out. Is money no object, If it isn't you will have no problem reaching your goal. good luck

Mainly I use it for commuting. I do a combination of highway and back roads. My wife rides with me sometimes when we go out of town or just out having fun on the back roads on the weekends. I have the bike pretty loaded up when we go out of town as well. When I ride by myself, I like to push it a little.

I went down the path of high comp screaming eagle pistons, 204 cams, exhaust, heavy breather and turner. Responsive power than the stock 103 motor for not big dollars.

One option is the HD Stage IV kit. If done right it will get you what you're looking for, plus it does not void the warranty.

I agree with you on the oil cooler. I have a Jagg 10 row on my Heritage, works very well.

Mine was already a stage IV build but my SE heads had never been touched. That changed this past spring. I pulled the heads and had them flowed, ported and polished with bigger valves and springs. Because of that I pulled my SE 211 cams and replaced them with the fueling Reaper 574 cams. It's at the Dyno guy now getting dialed in.

A lot of people look for big numbers with a single mod or performance upgrade. It is my opinion that when ever one does a motor, do the entire motor so each piece compliments the others, a kit. Then it should be put on a Dyno to get it dialed in and everything working on the same page.
