I am going to put the SE Stage II 1550 big bore kit(w/ cams, etc.) in my Road King. I was also considering the High Performance SE head, but the torque/HP curves shown in the SE catalog don't show any increase in either with the head. It merely smooths out the curve a little. Does anybody have any feedback on this? Does the smoother curve result in increased acceleration or drivability?

I would like any suggestions or help concerning ideas on how to build a nice bike without spending serious money. For instance, where can someone find a used motor? Frame? etc. I have had numerous bikes in the past but due to increases in the family (Kids), simply going out and spending Harley level money is way out of the question.
This is a serious post and I would appreciate to hear anyones suggestions...

Thanks

At least he went out the way he wanted to.

my 01 fatboy had been sitting for a couple of weeks, when i went to start it , the motor turned over slowly, i charged the battery and tried to start the bike , but this time all i am getting is whinning noise from the starter just spinning, it appears that the pinnion gear is not extending far enough to contact the ring gear.all cables are in excellent condition and tight.tried jumping but got the same result. can my selenoid go bad suddenly, i pulled the back cover off and the contacts looks good. any sugestions before i remove the oil tank and primary cover prematurely, i do have a s.e big bore stage 2 kit with s.e 203 cams, and the starter does misengage and kicks back after a hard ride sometimes. appreciate any help thanks.

I'm looking for a true dual set for my Road King. Has anybody had any experience with the Hooker system? Any input on BUB, V&H, Samson,etc. would be appreciated.
