Default 2002 ultra classic ultra sleeper!

Hey guys,

hoping to be pointed in the right direction here. For starters this is what I'm working with/currently have done to my bike


02 ultra classic fi

95ci big bore kit

​​​​heads from a stock 96ci

.040 head gasket

arlen ness big sucker intake

Bassani road rage3 2 into 1 with race baffle

Andrews 26 cams

high flow oil pump

screamin Eagle cam plate with hydraulic tensioner

Fuelpak first gen to tune it (for now)

stock push rods (as the cams don't require a change due to amount of lift)

High performance clutch

chain drive conversion 21 front tooth sprocket to a 51 rear tooth sprocket

(bike is still all chromed out, being an ultra so its awesome to see the look on peoples faces thinking im an old man on a couch when that couch leaves them tied to a stump when i get on it!!!)


Was curious what is the biggest cam I could throw in this without having to go to adjustable pushrods? Looking for a strong broad range of power. And not sure what I can get away with with 96ci heads seeing as they have the bigger springs and valves. Looking for this to be a very unexpectedly fast torque monster. Just about there now but could use some input. No dyno sheet yet but if I had to guess I'm thinking around 80-90hp and torque

I know pixels suck but it was necessary for privacy reasons. You can still see the bike just fine.

good looking bike. I had a 95" in an 01 roading with head work and exhaust with Andrew's 37 cams. I felt like the bike pulled great, but it was above 2500rpms. i liked those cams.

Thanks looking forward to picking up some ideas and knowledge.
That's already on the list. Saving a little money for taller and better suspension already.

I think a Woods 555 would be a good cam choice for your engine.

i was thinking the woods tw6 cam. I have the 26g in mine but have not done big bore yet. It pulls good after 2500 rpms and even better above 4000. I would have the heads done as well. [ those are my plans for the future ] good luck with it it is fun to chase hp

Cam lift is not the determining factor for adjustable PR`s
Base circle is your concern
