OK, I've got an '06 Road Glide, and had a stage I kit and race tuner installed. I really like the results, but I'm ready for some more kick. Anyone have any ideas for the logical next step?

Ok, call me very ignorant, and no jokes please, but when you say "stroke it" what exactly do you mean??

Stroking it means longer throw on crankshaft, pulls piston further down bore bringing in more fuel , for the simple answer. Screamin Eagle 103 is a bored and stroked 88". First bored out to 95" then crank throw increased making it a 103"

Don't be conservative. You will only end up doing again.
A mild cam eg. 203 and 95" kit will only keep you happy for a year or 2.

Stroking the motor cost ALOT more money and the reliability goes down some.
