    The cost of doing a upgrade to a 95 inch can be pretty high. I did it on my Springer and it made a huge difference but wished I would have done the compression releases also. Do you need a 95 inch well they actually run pretty good as an 88 and with cams you may not need to.

    You got that right , hard to leave them alone.
    Wished I could of had a SE Ultra.

    Wanted to git rid of the CAtalyst converter.
    And found a dealer that said they would take care of me under the warranty if the dealer I bought the bike from wanted to Balk.
    They took care of the paint or power coatin on my last bike frame that the dealer I got the bike from was just gonna use some touch up paint.

    And I got the Fuelmoto stainless header pipes and I have both 12mm lamda sensors from the factory and WB Zippers senors in it.
    All I got to do is unplug the TM and plus n the factory computer.
    Takes 5 minutes.

    Cosmetically there is noting I want to change other than a back rest and maybe different color paint. The engine is always something that I want to improve but that is not going to happen until at the earliest the end of next season. I like the power that I have now as it is plenty to pull the 800lb beast, but like all I do like a little more grunt. :D

    I wonder what Red Rider thinks of his new 95 ci kit that he has??

    I really happy with my 95 SE. Low end torque is great yet it still pulls great in the mid range too.

    95 is a great kit. But !

    If you can do a 95 why not do a 97 or a 98 cu motor.
    Got a buddy in Austin that just did a 97 and he used the tw6H woods cams, had the heads done, roller rockers and said he couldn't of asked for it to come out any better.
    Its screaming.
    He spent some time on the phone with Bob Woods before he did his build.

    Ck out this 98cu build, it ain't for riding on the street oh.

    Stop by an autozone and pick up a setup (or wally world) of Sylvannia Silverstar 9003 bulbs they will really brighten up the lights, I see you have the yellow halogens still,

    We'll help you get that outer fairing off and teach you the tricks
