I went with the basic Stage II big bore upgrade; no heads. Dont want to be leader of the pack; just enough juice to help with passing, etc cause I usually ride 2up.

If you are going to do that ,Go with Wood Brothers cams ,Spend the 4500.00 to get the 95+ HP out of you motor.Otherwise you will
spend 2500.00 to get 10 hp out of the dyno.

I did the Stage II kit wit the 203 cams and enjoy the midrange power band. I have yet to decide on a set of exhaust, looking at true duals possible the vance & hines that will allow me to use the hd touring mufflers. I like to change the exhaust tips to give it a different look every now and then. Of course my wife's vrod had a lot to do with getting the bore kit.....

I think I'll like the 1550 with 203's as well. My other bike is a Kawi ZX-12R with 170 RWHP...so if I need more power I'll ride my red rocket. [sm=drooldude.gif]

Hey if you want to make it a bit more special check out the diamond cut cylinders on my road king. Since I got new cylinders I sent them out to a place in Las Vegas and had them diamond cut the fins. Man does it sparkle. It sure gives it a nice custom look.

RE: New RK...need advise on 1550 stage.
I have a Black Cherry 05 Road King. Have done the Stage 1 95 inch upgrade with the Screamin' Eagle intake. At the same time added HDFR heads (machined) and quick install push rods. Have Vance & Hines Oval slip on mufflers with stock header (suggested by dealer over true duals....saved me $300). Also have installed Power Commander and had the bike on dyno. The end result is 88 hp and 94 fp torque. They tell me if I decide to add the cams I can expect about 105 hp.
