I have been reading some and ask the indy about h-q parts and he said he didn't use them and that was it I live in the Ft Wayne Indiana area and its this Indy or the Stealer
If your indy is dishonest (it sounds like he is) and your dealer is so bad you have to call him a "stealer", I'd pay Phil's airfare, hotel bill, and bar bill.

Ahhhhhh, bummer. As Phil's agent (that is 10% Phil ) that is a deal breaker my friend. Caribou? Dunn Bros.?

in all honesty If I was you..... I would do the build yourself. These motors are very simple. There are a couple critical areas that you can be walked thru. Phil and I did Manish's bike in a day and a half. It could have been a day but we kinda was bussy bustin Rod's **** a lot..... lol Some parts we took out and told him there was a problem as we found oil there.. lol poor guy was believed us at first....

Wanting a little more power so I went to an Indy today I don't trust the stealers around here and his recommendation is a big bore kit with

h-d pistons, power commander, 510 cams, polished and ported heads 2500.00 bucks

I already have sert but he said Power Commander was more versatile?

07 Ultra Classic
Sert
V/H Ovals
Ids

I'm new to h/d this year and looking for some suggestions

Russ
For $2500 you can buy any of a plethora of fast bikes for when you're in that mood.

Oops! That's probably more expensive than a bar bill.

As luck would have it they just opened a Starbucks in town about 2 weeks ago. But if you are going to order a carmel latte' then you will have to go get it yourself, I couldn't take the humiliation. Then again I could send my brother.

Spike I am somewhat comfortable inside the motor. I was just joking (mostly). Unfortunately if I did have Phil's services I would have to make the most of it and go with the 120" HQ build. I am doing cams only this weekend. I am hoping that satisfies the itch for a little while. Sooner ot later I will be going bigger. What do you think would be more expensive Coffee or the kit?
