You didn't mention if you changed your mufflers. If you haven't I would contact Fuelmoto, a site sponsor, and talk to them about a PCV and the best mufflers for your bike.
You will get a much better tune with a PC and they will supply the map for free.
Hint: They are announcing some new stuff Sept. 1st.

I'd have to say the $225 I spent on a good Dyno-tune is the best $$$ I've spent. They were able to dial in my Stage 1 setup on the PCV and now the bike runs better and "cooler" than EVER. I'm a believer that this is really the only way to perfectly "dial-in" your map.

I haven't done mine yet, but in looking around it's hard to see any better bank for the buck than Fuel Moto's complete package 14 hp 14 tq, under $700.

Soo's 1" floorboard extensions........
For a mere pittance of $$$$, my big hoofs
can rest comfortably on the entire floorboard and
not touch any hot chrome. ( melted rubber is a bitch to clean off )

Second best was having having MCC re-do my Ultra seat.....

Third is the heritage style bars........

Fourth would be a nice set of 38's for my backrest !!!!!!!!

For me, comfort is a priority over speed.

I would have to say fabbing extensions for my wifes passenger boards and my rider boards. I had kuryakyn passenger pegs on the passenger brackets and she didn't want them any more after moving her boards out.

Ybnorml and I have a LOT in common. But, I'd put the MCC seat mod first. My azz is way more inportant than my feet. Soos floorboard extensions are way cool, way comfortable, and way such a good deal. I added the Heritage bars too. And, as to the 38's..., is a picture worth a thousand words?
