Ultra? Bro..you are dragging air with a huge truck and the lowers. It does make a difference, but...one most of us GeezeGlide folks readily accept for the addional goodies.

Sounds just like what I recommended to avoid in my earlier post. It doesn't sound like they will be doing any head work. Do they sell you SE cylinders, or punch out your own? I would want my own, seasoned cylinders punched out. What are they putting on for exhaust? The Power Commander is good, but ask why not HD SERT?
Tons of posts on the subject...do a search and sit back and read!!

I waw begining to think it was just me. I havn't had a bike for a long time, so was very excited about my new RKC 06, I'm not really impress with the torque either. I wish the bike had more power and didn,t think I would have to keep dopping more money into a new bike to get it. I guess I'm going to look into the 95" kit myself. The dealer here has an offer here it is what you guys think.

I have a friend with a Street Glide with 95 kit and the works. He had Rush pipes on it and really didn't care for them after he got them. He took them off and just put the stock SE slipon's in there place. they re-dynoed that bike and he had gained something 10HP and 12 TQ...plus it sounds better!

Two Hats, Those numbers seem a bit low. I have a SG with SE slipons, Stage I breather, Sert and had the bike dyno tuned. My numbers are 75 HP and 85 lbs of torque.

Streetrunner do you think the tru duals is where the difference lies?I have been talking to different dlr's today and everyone has a diff suggestion.I just might have to do away with the duals and go bach stk on the head pipes.One dlr says to give them a chance on the dyno,he if can't better my numbers it will be free.Shall i give it another try and maybe waste another 200 bucks.I am at a stand still it seems
thanks for all of you all's input>>>>---------->>Danny

A question about punching stock jugs. Arent stock jugs Nicosil coated? And do they replate after boring to 1550?

Anybody EVER just install a set of 1450 forged high compression pistons and a compatible gear drive cam set-up. My motor guy says this can be a pretty potent combo on an '06 with stock heads and not very far off big bore power. Something to think about, a sleeper 88! I like the idea.

No, they are not. The Millenium 98" cylinders are Nicasil lined. You don't want to bore those out. Boring stock cylinders is fine.
