Now pulling a trailer - Need more power. Recommendations?
Hi all,
I ride an 05' Ultra with a stock motor and exhaust with 31k mileage. I recently bought a roll-a-home camper trailer to pull. I have a dependable indy near by that I use for servicing. I would like more power but it has to be dependable.
What do you folks recommend; equipment and brands? Thanks in advance for your suggestions It is appreciated.
(P.S. Since I took these pictures, I have lowered the receiver to make the trailer level.)

It all depends on how much you want to spend.
Just cams (HQ0034 or similar) with a good tune , free flowing air filter and exhaust may be all you might need, or be able to afford.
More? Go with a drop on 95/98 kit. Go here: http://www.head-quarters.com to explore some options.

Sounds like a really good combo. I've got the factory headpipe and Rinehart slip ons. I'm wondering how much difference there is between a 2 into 1 vs. my combo.

Cams, exhaust, hi-flo a/c, tuner, dyno time, larger displacement, etc. are all good suggestions, but the $$$ add up fast.
Your bike has 3.15:1 primary gearing. You can lower the gearing (higher numerical ratio) and multiply torque faster using HD's 3.37:1 primary gearing (which was OEM on early EFI HD Touring models, '99-'01) or Baker Transmissions 23T compensating sprocket/chain kit. Both are easy swaps and provide a 9% increase in torque (think of it as a lower first gear than you currently have). Baker's product is in this link and you can read what they say about its advantages:

Lots of choices. Good luck with your project.
