95" Build - Your Opinions Please....
I recently paid off my 2003 Fatboy (carbureted). Now I'd like to put my discretionary income toward increasing torque and horsepower.
Following isa quote I got from a reputable performance shop in my area. It's rather pricey but there are not an abundance of good tuners in my area (N Alabama). So, I really don't have anything to compare it to.
If you know of any good performance shops in the area, please let me know. If you know of any in the Nashville area, that would work because I'm only about a 100 miles from there.
I don't have the skill to do the build myself which is, I know, the inevitable reply. I wish I did.
Please let me know what you think.
The following is the build list for 100+ HP/100+ lbs Tq.

RE: 95" Build - Your Opinions Please....
I can say that whatever you do, you won't regret the 95" big build kit. What you need to do more than get a list of parts, it to speak with the engine builder so that you get a build that's right for the way you ride. An engine that only makes good numbers at the high end of the rpm scale is not going to be much fun to ride around town or where you will most likely spend most of your time. On the other side of the coin, you can get a great build w/o spending a huge amount of money. The basic 95" build is good, but make sure you get a set of cams that will give you the performance you're looking for and get them working with some headwork and the other parts that fit your riding style.
There is a difference in builds and components to be used for drag bikes, highway riding, you get the picture. Cleaning up your stock heads can also add a lot of ***** w/o spending a huge amount of money.
Good Luck with the choice.

I would call Doug at Head-Quarters.
You could use your OE heads, and barrels, with his port work and cams and HQ custom ignition get the same and probably better results for about 1500$ less!
You just need your stock carb with HQ jet kit.
CK it out
I was out around 2600$ for just about everything you listed above.

Sounds like a good deal, but not sure if the stock clutch is up to the task. The price is higher, because your going with new haeds and cylinders, instead of using the existingones. The smartest thing about your quote, is using the gear driven cams. Make sure you use Torrington style bearings for the cams, and use the S&S reed valve to help control oil blowby

I think it looks good, but who am I.I think you could save a little by getting your cylinders punched out and your heads re-worked.A lot of people are going to tell you not to use SE parts, aftermarket are better.In some cases that may be the case.I did my stage 2 2 years ago and I'm happy with it.Since your going with the high-compression pistons I would consider compression releases.

Again, sounds great, just remember you are bumping the compression, so it will be MORE un-forgiving of using anything but hi-octane fuel, especially in the middle of the Georgia summer, with the heat and humidity, and all. Will try to ping/detnoate on crappy fuel, especially if you run alot of timing. You will want the timing for throttle response.
