Found the power!
I bought a used '07 Ultra last week and immediately started a post here asking for "performance mod" suggestions. I felt the bike lacked "passing punch" and wasn't every responsive. That was after my first 100 miles. After a few hundred more miles, I'm happy to report that much of the problem was related to running at 2500 - 3000RPM. I've discovered this baby comes into its' own at 3500 +, where it gets into the strength of its power range. I won't consider 6th below 70-75 mph. I could care less about a few less mpg...much rather have the throttle response. I still will consider some of he many helpful responses to my other post, but for the time being, I am satisfied thatcruising at higher RPMsprovides a bit more grunt when I need it. Having said that, Stage 1 w/SE slip-ons is still on the table....just without the sense of urgency I had before.

Didn't I say that in the other thread?

Try 4500 RPM in 5th on the highway while tooling down the turnpike. *cackling like a madman*

You should consider introducing yourself to some HQ TC-500 or Woods TW6 cams, they will light your wick at around 2200 rpm!
