OK, I finally got my bike back from the shop a few days ago. I had a new paint job from JE Illusions put on it and also got new V&H True duals and ovals put on. I bored out the stock jugs to 95" and had a S&S Hot Set Up kit (including S&S heads) with 585 gear cams installed and an oil cooler. I will say that I am still breaking it in, but the change in throttle and torque is amazing. I am enclosing a few pics and a link to the Painters website. I am not affiliated with them in any way-I'm just a satisfied customer. The S&S Hot Set Up can be found in Dennis Kirk and J&P Cycle catalogs. Just a note-I was originally going to install Wild Things Cams and pistons, but I spoke to many people who were happy with the S&S kit and I went that route instead. I never heard anything bad about the Wild Things products, its just that I never got to see a bike personally or speak to someone with Wild Things on their bike.
