What it comes down to is no one is asking anyone else to buy or pay for our mods, so if it makes the big inch guys happy what should it matter how much we do or spend on our bikes or motors? All most ever owner of a Harley buys something for there bike that they don't "need"!

I loved the old carbed 88 in my Night Train. Ran cool and fast. The twin cooled 103 is a great motor right out of the box too.

I don't obsess about power. IMO my stock stage 1 103 works just fine for me. I don't ride my Harley to go 100 MPH! What matters most to me is durability/reliability. But if Harley wants to make more power from the factory bikes year to year I'm not gonna complain.

Gunbus 410" V-Twin

Wow, 3 pages of comments and not the first one good, bad, or beat to hell the link to the Gunbus 410" V-Twin. Just curious.
Did anyone even open one of the links to see the Gunbus ?

On the other hand I appreciate all of the postings. I am planning to open the cam chest of my '02 RK. Going to go with geared cams, new bearings, new tappets, possibly adjustable push rods. Not sure but thinking about pulling the heads and sending them out for porting to help the cams work best. I know my little 88" has some more power hidden inside, we just have to help it out a bit to bring it all to the rear tire when doing the "right wrist twist"
