Any guesses ????
Dropping the bike off this morning.
I have a 2013 CVO Road V&H Power Duals, monster rounds, SE Tuner.
My last Dyno was 89.48 / 104.86.
Going with S&S 570 cams, Heads ported and polished, Decked and .030 gaskets. and a good tune.
Any guesses on final numbers ????

my guess is $1174.53
is there a prize?
BTW milling the heads to raise compression may not be the best idea.
you can no longer use conventional pushrods, you must use adjustable. intake manifold seals can be a problem as the angle of the mating surfaces is changed.
And anything which connects the top of the motor to the bottom will be too long to properly fit.
My 88 FXRP has .060" milled heads from the factory and there have been issues here and there all along.
If ever having work done, make sure that the techs know that the heads have been milled, other wise they might waste time and money trying to make stuff fit when it will not fit without modification
high compression pistons may be a better idea as the head height can be left intact.

This guy has asked on numerous post about engine build options and to me, has proceeded with the best way to reduce the reliability and value of his CVO bike.

You guys kill me 
So let me think about this ......
Lots of guys do Cams swaps and when they do they use adjustable pushrods.
FullSac talks about using an Andrews 54 and .030 gaskets. The S&S 570 is close to the 54.
So basically I'm talking about decking the heads. I had about 4 guys recommend doing that.
The Builder has tons of experience and worked closely with S&S.
He came recommended from a couple of guys on this board.
The bike has no worth because I don't have any plans to sell it. I'm not worried about the warenty.
If its built right why is it any less reliable than any other bike that had motor work done to it ?

Read Mike's post over again; high compression pistons are a better way of acheiving a high compression engine. You're going to have engine machine work done anyway so you may as well get the right pistons (I gave you the part number in another thread) and have your cylinders bored for them.
A correctly designed domed piston burns the fuel better than just smashing things together.
