Yep, this is the way to go. I just brought mine home today. Got T-Man Torqster cams, SEPST tuner (traded in my Power Commander), and a dyno tune. Wow! What a difference! Unbelievable difference in torque. 98 HP & 111 Ft. Lbs. torque for 2 grand.

Thanks for the info. Its good to hear that you can get good performance for a lot less than the dealers charge.
I will be checking into some of the people / companies mentioned.
The wife sure likes this bike for the most part i do to and with a performance upgrade I think I will be happy enough

You will be making a bad trade, hp vs dollars if you go to any dealer. Start by looking at the info on the Fuel Moto or the Drago's Bike Works websites. These are two of the best Indy performance shops on the planet! You can easily get around 100 hp / 110 torque for a whole lot less than $5K.
Give Frank Drago a call, he is always glad to discuss peformance and what he don't know never happened...

my wife's first comment was she missed the Valkyrie's sound(6 into 6). After I got the RKC broke in and cracked the throttle, she then missed a bike that jumped when I twisted my wrist. She's know's it can't get out of it's own way and is asking me what I'm going to do !!!!
we both need a seat also, Hammock is not enough.

While ya can spend big money to make some HP from a Harley I don't think it makes any financial or practical sense. A stage 1 and maybe cams will make tolerable power for reasonable money. Harleys are cruisers. Trying to make them something else becomes a "polishing a turd" exercise. About any stock sport/sport touring bike out there will still blow it away, performance wise.

I've owned Harleys since the 70s and never used them as 'cruisers'! My Glide is a deadly serious touring bike and has crossed continents with a 107" S&S engine. I can justify and use much more performance, but just can't afford it!
