Default Gearing question

I purchased my 2011 Street Glide with the 103 power pack option. I thought it needed some additional performance so I immediately had the dealer install the stage 2, including, AC, 255 cams, and a full exhaust system. I'm still don't appreciate the performance as I came off a BMW K1300S which as 175 hp and weighs around 550 lbs. So I'm thinking that rather than focus on the motor, I should change the gearing which is something I'm used to doing on bikes like Ducati's and Aprilia's but I'm clueless on the HD.

I'm fine with the rpm's being higher at every speed since I think the motor just seems to loaf around at freeway speeds. What exactly do I need to do to lower the gearing? Part numbers would be great.

Thanks

I put a Evolution 49T clutch basket on mine, in 6 gear at 70 mph the rpm's are at about 3000. It pick's things up a good bit through the gears.

You could pick up some grunt by changing the front final drive pulley from the 32 tooth stock one to a 30 tooth. HD Part # 83595-11.
