You sure they are timed and tuned correctly? My bike felt like it lost 200 lbs when I installed my 255s, matter of fact it was the best bang for the buck so far.

Chrome valve stem covers with a little, really small skull on the end of the cap. WTF was I thinking? I could've bought beer with that ten dollar bill!!

Their is no such thing as a "worst" upgrade, because then it would qualify as a downgrade...unless it was your "Best" downgrade which would qualify it as a upgrade. So whatever was done didn't matter much. .......

Saddlebag hinge stop kit. Complete waste of money.

2nd would probably be the 204's/1.72 rockers/true duals I put on. It runs cooler, made a huge seat of the pants difference, and sounds great, but for the money I don't enjoy the bike a ton more, and I spent $900 to do it all, just in parts. At the end of the day, it's still a fat pig of a touring bike and won't be fast without a ton of money being thrown at it. I love it, and wouldn't be on anything else, but I could take or leave the cam swap.

If I were to do it again I'd do apes/seat again, and leave the rest of it alone.

The worst were the SE "torque" mufflers for my Dyna--sounded like ****;put the stock ones back on the same day.

Another piece 'O' crap was a smoked chrome air cleaner--looked great in the shop; very uneven, blotchy finish in the sunlight. Couldn't return it 'cause I forked it up accidentally.

Also fugly were the Kury footpegs I put on my FXDL about 10 years ago. I looked at them after the install & thought "WHY?"

My worst upgrade was buying my 07 FLSTF and not getting a Roadking.

I called my Fatboy the money pit.
