07 FLHTC Build
Still fairly new on the site. but know alot about the bikes in the short time i been riding.. built a 02 Softail couple years ago .. sold it . now got an 07 Electra Glide Classic .. bike came with tour pak and all crash bars . i since have stripped it down taking saddle bag crash bars off . swapping out the handlebars for 16 black ape hangers.... changed the wheels from stock 16 f&r to 21 Front and 18 rear.. had to lower front 2 inchs and rear 1 inch to get back to stock height. wheels are also 60 spoke black powder coat .. bike is black themed with just enough chrome on it .. last mods for awhile i will be doing is adding in a new stereo system this week . went with sony Hi Def CD with new speakers and a JL amp since they make the smallest BEST Amp on the market right now and adding rear speakers 6x9.. should sound good 
..
now for the engine build . i ordered some 103 Cylinders and CP pistons at 10 to 1.. also ordered the Wood tw-555 cam .. not doing any head work or valvle train work. was told can run it stock just fine.. also for pipes running True Dual Rinehardts .. was thinking of swapping to a RR2 or a Supertrapp megaphone 2 into 1 pipe.. but was also told your not gonna see much difference between my Rinehardts and the 2 into 1's except mid range torque will pull harder. and maybe 2-3 hp less with true duals...my rinehardts are the 2007 up style when they staggered the diameter. starts at head 1 3/4 then goes to 1 7/8th then where muffler bolts on they go to 2 inch .. so what im asking is with the mellow engine build im doing would i really benefit changing to a 2 into 1 ?

Before you do ANY kind of upgrades to your engine, check the bottom end out real good! Especially your crank run out. If your runout is excessive, your upgrades will be toast! Along with a few other ietms.
Why do I say this? Well, 2007 is when their (HD) cranks starting to go sour. I got bit by it last year.
