Have an 07 RKC. Rinehart tru duals and SERT. What would be the next step to get more horses and torque? Trying to keep the dealer honest. thanx in advance for your advice.

 

How many horses do you have now?? How much torque? Then maybe we can help.

 

Ness Big Sucker so it can breathe, wellsince you got pipes........never mind. Cams

 

Not 100%. The dyno broke the day it was supposed to be dynoed. The service guy said it should be pushing around 88 but I had a good friend say no way. What do you guys think? They have this 100 hp club at the dealer(of course it don't say what each person did to theirbike)but if it is going to cost me an arm and a leg, I will just stay with what I have.

 

a cam only will not get you into that club..... from what ive seen... heads/cam/throttle body/95inch.... done right will get you over 100..... i just did a revolution performance kit... stage 2 98 inch/ heads/ gear cam/ horsepower inc throttle body 48mm/ ness 2/ and D&D fatcat... 112hp and 106 tq

 

I agree except for the TB part. The stock TB is fine for street use, no need to drop all that coin for a aftermarket TB. Of course as always this is just my opinion.

 

ur right i didnt have to have it... and ive heard many getting 100 without....i am glad i got it though....

 

All kidding aside,the first thing you should ask yourself is what kind of budget do you have to work with? Your 07 has a 96 inch big twin which is already stroked, so the natural thing to do at this point is to complete the stage 1 (70HP/80TQ range), and if that isn't enough, next step is a big bore kit. You can go to an economy based SE 103" kit that'll netyou anywhere from the high 80HP range up to 115HP depending on what pistons, heads ,cams and exhaust you select. Of course the costs vary dramatically and the better the heads and cam selection, the better the performance, but the heavier the outlay of $$$.

If costs isn't the big thing, then hotrod the bike and go for something that will build between 120HP and 135HP. That will come from a well built 107" kit, a 113" OR 124"kit, but be forwarned the latter sizeof 113"& 124" willeach require splitting the cases. That also means more $$$, so keep in mind you can only get what you pay for. I'd also say you should discard the importance of making the 100/100 club as that stigma is over rated. You need to do some serious work to get your bike there, and at that point it's not about nickels and dimes, it's about netting a result of serious power and tire shredding torque. Most people that shoot for big power aren't trying to make the club, their trying to make their bikes hard to hold onto, and for me...that's where the fun starts.

My bike is due to be dyno'd in a few weeks from now and should make north of 120HP/120TQ, but that only comes after the expense of a 10K build. Sure you can spend less, but i'd probably offer that the need for speed will normally not stop when the cash stops flowing. As a few people here on the site told me, build the biggest, baddest, tire shredding mill you can, cause settling for less when you have the bug, will only have you coming back for more later, and that usually means spending money twice to do some things over again.

Power is only settled with dollars when it comes to Harleys. Hope that doesn't come off sounding the wrong way, but too many people put too much on the 100 club thing. Build what you like, and buy whatever you can afford. A good breather, some mid range cams, and some head porting will get you into the 90/100 range if you're on a budget, and that can be lots of fun too! If you have a budget you can work with, post it here and a few can likely give you some sound advice, or help you spend your money.

 

Off topic I know but..... Could you imaginehow many ponies10k would get you if you were doing a small or big block Chevy build.

 

Thanx to everyone for the info so far. Glideman, what did your mods do to your fuel mileage?
