Scott, You said, "a 107 with a good set of cylinder heads, cam, exhaust combination(and perhaps a throttle body upgrade as well) can, and is, a formidable powerplant." Well, I already have V&H Boig Shots (w/baffles) and a Zipper's A/C, so I would want to match up to the exhaust I already have. When you say, "a good set of cylinder heads," are you talking about changing the heads, or taking my heads and having them ported & polished, new valves lapped in with new springs, etc.? Also, when you say, "perhaps a throttle body upgrade as well," are you suggesting that is my choice as opposed to the needs of the rest of the work you suggest?
My goal is as follows: for my Fat Boy to be a rocket off the line; when I'm cruising on the highway be able to downshift and pass almost fast enough for the driver I passed to second guess if I had been behind him all those miles, or vice-versa; cruise hundreds of highway miles while getting good gas mileage.
Many more thaks!
