Default A little extra power

I ride a 2004 Fatboy. Its a great bike. I have Harly mini-ape hangers on its, rubber diamond-plate 1.6" grips, rubber diamond-plate floor boards, rubber diamond-plate shifter pegs, rubber diamond-plate rear-brake, rubber diamond-plate passenger pegs, rubber, Kuryakyn Moustache Bar with rubber diamond-plate pegs, V&H Big Shot Exhaust & braided stainless steel cables. Its 2-tone Teal and Silver. My baby. Anyway, I was at a bike meet the past weekend and saw alot of cool bikes. A few customs and a Boss Hoss Trike(god that thing was huge). All these bikes had some power...you could just tell.

What I am looking to do right now is get a little more power without have to upgrade to the 95cubic inch motor. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do to increase the "GET UP AND GO" factor on my bike, that won't put too much of a strain on my wallet(I know HD stands for "Hundreds of Dollars" but my walet really needs a rest for a few months)? It is an FLSTF(carbed). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

try this link for info on stage 1, 2 & 3 and approx costs. There is a section on different pipes and hp gains on the right of that page too. Also do a search in the DIY section of this forum for CV carb tuning.

I added a set of Hooker 2 into 1 pipes and a Forcewinder style breather and with the appropriate tuning picked up 14 HP on the dyno last spring on an '02 Fat Boy carb. Not super cheap but also not as much as the $$ I spent this year on head work, gear drive cams and adjustable pushrods. But boy does she run!!
