I'd like to do my upgrade myself, but i don't really have the tools, location or confidence to do it myself. My TTS was professionally dyno'ed. So I've delayed buying a pipe and putting it on. I'll require re-tuning.

I also run a mac, so TTS has yet to work. I'm running Parallels, but maybe bootcamp?? [Mac Geek speak - sorry]

Regardless I'm Stock + Stage 1 and Andrews 26H cams.

100 ft lb, 89 HP.

Not really enough torque for me, but more than enough HP. To clarify: She goes plenty fast enough top speed, jut want hill climbing, roll on power with more spirited acceleration...

When I do, i'm tossing around 107" or 117". Heads done, and the bottom end too. Probably all the Dark Horse Treatments. Hopefully bulletproof.

Anymore and I've gotta go Procharger...

All I can suggest to you is hang on the hunt for more performance can be addicting.Going just a few cubes at a time can be very costly in the hunt for the right power level.Ask me how I know!Good Luck

 

There are lots of options! You can improve your bike's hill climbing by reducing overall gearing. There are plenty of posts about this, but a smaller front pulley will give a significant increase in rear wheel torque, with everything else as is. Reasonably quick and easy.

That is worth doing, even if you further modify your current motor. For a 107 or 117 you really should try a good tuning shop. There are HDF sponsors with the right skills.

Or you could replace your current motor, with a Harley 120R, or a JIMS 131, as suggestions. The 120R is getting good reviews here in Touring and giving decent figures.

The procharger gives good numbers, but not low-down torque in the same way a well tuned big motor can, unless you start with something like a 131ci.

 

Sound advice right here.

 

Ok great advise so far. I agree have to find the right needs and wants and find someone that wont screw me over ......I have someone that works on my bike, he is an old school mechanic that is still up to date. He is very good at what he does. I know he wouldnt screw me being that when I have a big job I am undertaking he is more then willing to guide me through problems.....so I think I would have him do the work .....any opinions on that .....


As for what I am leaning to is something like I found on this web site ....has anyone done this to there glide .....interested in hearing about it .......

If you want more inches Stroke It

I tell the wife that all the time.

 

Interesting read.
Is there some reason you gentlemen don't recommend a blower? It seems like a pretty simple way of getting a lot of horsepower. I don't know much about the Evo motor, but I know the Revos get pretty big horsepower out of a turbo or blower.

 

if roll on power, and easier acceleration are all that you want, then dont get into all of the other stuff. honestly, i spent all sorts of money on heads, cams, gear drives, roller rockers, exhausts..... you name it. but, the thing that gave me the most power, with the mods that i already had done, is gear down the primary...... it is cheap, you replace the front primary sprocket, and the primary chain ( go down 3 teeth on the sprocket) if you are running a 6 speed, your fuel mileage wont suffer. and, since it is in your primary, before the trans, your speedo will not be affected either....i did this mod, on an already modded bike, and rode it from NC to OR and back, twice! WITH A 5 SPEED!!!! still got 170-180 miles to a tank, two up, with gear, tent, leather, etc..... it upped my cruising RPM by almost 400 RPM, putting it right in the sweet spot of the torque curve. it will be a bit louder at 70-80 than it is right now, but only set you back 350 bucks, including the install. it will limit your top end speed though. i was running a 5 speed, and could not get my bike over 120 MPH. i was also running 20 inch apes, and it was as aerodynamic as a brick with a parachute.... but, downshifting to pass a car? you wont need to do that again..... ever.... unl;ess you wanna do a wheelie!

this is like putting 3.73 gears in your old chevelle. sure it already made 400 HP, but now you can put it to the ground more effectively than running 3.31s.... look it up, if you like it, stay with it, if you dont like it, you didnt affect anything, so, put it back to stock, and spend a couple thousand bucks on your motor....

hope this helps,

don't get in a hurry, spend some time reading what you can find here in the forum. the 96" motor is like one of the first to reply, is an 88 motor with a stroker crank. boring your stock cylinders out to 103 size and fresh pistons and rings, along with gaskets would give you a 103. if i'm right, a 96" motor has 3 3/4" bore and the 103" motor has 3 7/8" bore. it's a very comfortable motor, and can be built to really pull hard depending on how deep you want to get into it. cams are a great choice too, but just for now, get to know your bike and study whatever you can so that you make educated choices. it's cheaper to do it right the first time than it is to do it right the second time.

 

on the same topic does the SE CVO have the same crank case, clutch and bearings as the stock SE.....
