I had Clifford Cycles in Omaha re-dyno my bike today. 100.41 hp and 110.20 torque. Both are up a little from the last dyne (not at Clifford's). It's running quieter now and pulls great. I was getting 28 mpg, hope to do much better with new tune. 30 to 35+ head wind on way home and got 33. It should get much better in calmer weather...... I hope.

On my 2005 EGC I went from an 88" to a 98". From 67 hp-70 lb tq. to 100 hp and 112 lb tq. Full roller motor 2 to 1 Thunderheader. SS 510 gear drive cams.
Only complaint is, these motors just don't last long. With all this power with a twist of the wrest, you just can't keep from twisting a lot.

How do you figure they don't last long? If it was built right it should be way more reliable than stock. We have built bikes out with more power than what you have that have well over 100K on the clock with no issues what-so-ever. Maintain it properly and you should have no issues if it was properly built.
Just going from personal exsperence. When I have a lot of HP at your finger tips, you have the urge to play with it a lot, maybe too much. It was not directed at any builder. I don't believe I directed at any. I could have, but didn't. I've many hotrod cars and MC's, and none of them last very long when you abuse them. Has nothing to do with how they are built, just the way they're treated. And I think that what I said. Thats my story and I'm sticken to it.
I hear what you are saying, and no sweat, I didn' think you directed it at anyone. It's just my experience as a builder and as a tuner is that if you built something right, using the right parts and service it right, it will last. The weakest link is the part that will fail. IF you've had many hotrods and bikes and they aren't lasting long, i'd say that you should be them for how you are going to treat them.
I'd have to say that with just 100 HP and 112 TRQ you're engine should be able to take just about any abuse you throw at it if it was built properly. The crank would be you're weak link but at only 100 HP it shouldn't be an issue unless you down shift hard or lug the motor. Other than that just keep an eye on the wear items (hopefully you upgraded to a hydraulic cam support plate or went chan driven cams). You're primary should be just fine, you should have at the minimum of a heavy spring plate on your clutch pack or a lock up clutch. Stock tranmission should hold up fine with your power, and a belt final drive should be fine as well.
