Default Christmas in April!! Stage 4 kit installed

Parts finally arrived off back order and everything installed. Only a short ride so far but it already is causing bugs in my teeth from grinning! I will have the stock 103 heads, pistons, and cams for sale shortly. Off of a 2013 SG with 1092 miles on the stock parts. Maybe I can recoup a small portion of the $$ spent. No idea on what they are worth or how many folks would be looking for those items.

makes you wonder what a 106/107 would have done or no?

I am happy with the kit I installed. I did get a very good price deal. I am sure I could have gotten a little more for the money I spent but chose to stick with HD in this one (warranty). Plus it was all done locally from a dealership that treats me right.

Good for you!!

I would like to be there someday too.

In the interim I'll just settle for my stage 2.

Watch that crank.
That is the weak link in all of this.

I did the stage IV but I opted to keep the 204 cam as I love the idle. I gave up a few horses to do but the 204 power it right where I want it. Congrats..

Congrats ... any numbers on your build ... ?

I am curious, what is a "very good deal"? PM me if you wish.

I went the way of an FM 107" and still kept my remaining "bumper to bumper" warranty of one-year including the motor work ... yep, a dealer build as well!

Hopefully, my 107" build will be done the week after next ... FM will finally have the heads back from CNC next Tuesday and everything gets shipped back to the builder.

I went with the 259's, and she sounds great at Idle, not quite potato potato of a shovel, but damn nice!

I have the 259's also and love em! It's as close to that great old school Harley idle as I've heard!

Enjoy,
I think you will be able to sell the heads pretty easy.
But pistons and cams not so easy.
