Default Props to Hillside Cycles and Joe's Cycle repair

I just picked up my '07 Streetglide yesterday after having Hillside and Joe's work their magic. When I started thinking of playing with my bike I was just going to have cams done. After talking with Scott from Hillside through numerous emails (sorry Scott, lol) I decided to go with a 107" build with 570 E-Z start cams, some head work and had the throttle body bored out. I trailered my bike up to Hllside in February, about a five hour haul for me, thinking it might be a while before he got to it. I got a call a week later that it was done. I was going on vacation, so after I got back, I squared up with Scott and talked to Joe's. They were kind enough to pick up my bike at Hillside for a very fair price and get it to their shop and tune it. I picked it up at Joe's yesterday..BONUS!!!...it was two hours closer to me. Joe did an awesome job tuning it, explained everything, though I have to admit...though I understand the principles of the tuning, I leave that technical stuff to the experts... The bike ended up turning out 107hp and 128 torque. I took it for a short ride this morning and WOW!! My eight year old bike has captured my attention again! I cannot wait till the snow is gone and the roads are swept! I also can't say enough about the service and knowledge from both Hillside and Joe's.
