Did Stage 1 when I got the bike(09), SE tuner, K&N breather and 4" Rineharts. I did the SE255s last Dec. took advantage of my Dealer winter special. $725 out the door. before and after dynos. Gains 20% on HP & Torque. 70 to 85HP and 83 to 97 Tq. I think its a good bang for your buck!! Very good power increase between 2200 and 3500 rpms! Right where i needed it!

I agree with the goal to gain more torque. If you have a regular mechanic, consult him, many of them have 'recipes' for more power and torque for a touring bike.

Now, to the 'pop the front wheel up' deal. No intent to be rude, but I'm wondering how that can be a reasonable goal on a touring bike, and not only that, an expensive touring bike!!! Just sayin'...

Maybe a Dyna Low Rider or V-Rod might be appropriate for this kind of stuff, or as others have said, a sport bike.

Get yourself a copy of the "Screamin' Eagle Pro Parts" catalogue. Then read it.
It is free and available at the dealer. Very simple descriptions of your options on cams, Screamin' Eagle kits, and a variety of other goodies.
