I have vance big radius and a better intake. I learned that I can get it up to 120mph in fourth gear. Logged 15,000 miles since June.
^That^

Buy an old liter bike if you want to go faster than 120mph. Would be cheaper too.
In all seriousness, visit the tuning section of the forums. So many options you can do it's crazy. Go where it gets discussed and start searching. It will take a while to learn exactly what YOU want, so be patient.

Thanks. They are called fork boots. Or fork gaitors. Breakout tubes are 49mm. Make sure you get the right size for your forks. They are fairly cheap as well. I think those ran me under $30 IIRC. They are mostly cosmetic and provide protection from your tubes being chipped up by rocks. I added thicker fork oil when I had to replace a seal. It made it a little stiffer, but if you want really good handling, look up the sticky for Breakout fork tube upgrades. I plan on doing that in the near future.

Take a look at the Sticky on top of the Softail forum where it says "Drive Ratio Upgrade"!

Our bikes are geared way too tall from the factory for EPA and noise reasons. - think as if you were always trying to take off from a stop on a bicycle stuck in 3rd gear. just the fact that you CAN hit 120 in 4th gear fully attests to the bike being way too tall on gearing ratio. go 30/70 on the belt pulleys as outlined in the thread at top of softail forum, tune bike, you won't believe its the same bike. All you are doing is getting the bike back to a pre-2007 proper drive ratio, and undoing the slag of the too tall ratio.
I also recently discovered and proved that the 48h cams are WICKED in the stock 103 motor. it will raise compression (which = added power) but not too much as some have erroneously warned. I am so pleased with the performance of the 48h they are not coming out unless I do a 107" kit- but really, I don't see the need (yet! lol).
But do upgrade the belt pulleys and you probably won't want to do cams after or at least not for some time. And even if you do, then you'll get more out of the cams or other motor work by having an actual proper final drive ratio.
Good luck - Good riding.
