There are just so many ways to spend your money! I have made several performance upgrades over the years and can tell you that I don't have enough yet, with my 107". I reckon around 130HP/130T should be sufficient for most needs, so an S&S 124" would probably just about do that. I suspect a T143" would prove a bit too much! Of course other essential improvements will be a new exhaust and upgraded clutch.

What I'm looking for is a sleeper. Stock looking bike that will make your jaw drop when I twist the throttle.
I belive money well spent when the other person doesn't expect anything.
It's no fun pulling away from someone when they can physically see the work done to increase HP.

Trouble is that a built motor never sounds the same as stock so not really a sleeper.

S&S124 for sure, or the S&S 106 or 107 kit. All three will require cams also. I would suggest the SS HP 103 cams, but there are lots of great cam options out there. And no, I dont work for S&S. My Road Glide is all S&S, and its awesome quality and performance stuff.
