Had my eye on the TW6-6 for quite some time and had told myself that's all I'm gonna do; 96" is more than enough, just needs a little 'tweaking', right? Long story short, went with Steve @ GMR's 107 kit and I'm enjoying the hell out of my bike now, nice low compression build (10.1), runs strong from just about any rpm or gear. Steve was a good guy to deal with and I've got no complaints; would definetly do business with them again and probably will

I hope this is a passing phase, but after the cam upgrade over the winter, I've been paying more attention to the big bore posts. A 107 or 110 kit might be a good place for me to start. I'm concerned about some of the issues like pinging or losing any comfort on longer trips. It looks like S&S and GMR have some good kits out there! I'm looking for more torque in the bottom and mid-range. I don't know what I'm going to do. Just when I think I'm done for awhile, I read this forum and get that itch!
Do some research and choose parts that work well together. Just as important, find a competent person to tune your bike. Then buy the tuning device that he prefers ( sest, tts, etc.) Also you may want to look into changing the gearing in your 08. Do this and you will be happy with the results.

The gearing in the 08 is not ideal, but I am going to try and avoid expanding the project that far.

I have just done the BB kit, heads will be going to Bean for street port, cam will be a 255 and pipe with be the pro pipe or Fatcat. I have the HQ 107 kit on my Ultra, I wil never go higher than 10.1 comp on heads again as it is hard to find a tuner. Told by Jaimie that the PCV is not the best tuner for large than 103 with cam and headwork builds.
