A lot of people do the bigger is better build but smaller duration cams that come on about 2000 and pull to redline and a 2 into 1 exhaust will smoke the other builds anyday. Your bike is set to run top end with the true duals and big cams, both items are for making power at the upper rpm range. Not what most want out of a big twin, It wont hurt the bike as long as its under redline but its not going to be a bull out of the gate till its in its power range.

What year and model bagger?

Reason for asking is prior to a certian year they had one primary gearing then switched to what is currently installed.

Unless you know yours is the prior, or has being switched back the 37g won't be asoptimal (with head work too) as the 26g.

I'm planningon changing myprimary gearing from stock '06at3.15, to what H-D used to run3.37 primary gearing and going with the 37g also.
