103 Screamin Eagle Stage ll kit

    Have been searching through this site for a week or so and i think i may have made a mistake in choosing the Screamin Eagle Stage ll kit for my bike  ( which should be ready for pickup at my local dealer today/tomorrow )

    SCREAMIN’ EAGLE

    STAGE II KIT – 103 CUBIC INCHES*

    ® PRO

    Kit includes Stage

    II (SE-255) cams, 3-7/8" Big Bore cylinders, 3-7/8" Big Bore

    flat top pistons a high performance clutch spring, and all

    mounting hardware and gaskets.

    .

    Anyway my question is , What do i do next to this kit to improve on it ? 

    Saying that ,I have just laid down $2400 on this kit to be installed and already have the hi-flo air cleaner,Vance & Hines Sideshots and a Screamin Eagle Pro Super Tuner ( Which doesnt seem to popular either )

    I was thinking maybe a throttle body change or my stock heads worked on

    My bike is an 09 FXST With 3000 ks on it and i am 6ft 3in and 130kg so i thought this torquey cam would suite me. Anyway any info would be appreciated

    Yeah rodders , I could have done it for $2000 at harley heaven but i would have to ride about 700 ks and take time off work and pay for accomadation which would have worked out more than what i payed.
    And ando ill take your advice and see how it goes and keep the Andrews in mind, Cheers.

    everything you have sounds like it would make for a very enjoyable reliable ride
    a big person on a softy needs low end and mid range power
    I think you thought that through correctly
    if you like to constantly tinker with your bike..... fair enough
    but if you merely wanted a bit more punch to keep up with the lightweight bikes
    you may well find that you have already achieved your goal

    Yeah cheers guys,
    I currently do most of my riding with a 70kg bloke on a nightster with cams and a nightrain with the 103 kit but with heads , 58mm throttle body and god knows what else ,and i dont even come close . (the nightster keeps up with the nightrain)
    I mainly ride around hilly areas (bright ,myrtleford, tallangata) as i live in Albury/ Wodonga.
    I have just had my bike dropped back to me by the dealer but cant test it untill tomorrow ,seems to have that nice lumpy cam sound i miss from my old bike.
    Anyway well see how it goes
    My heart wants a jap killer but my wallet keeps telling my heart to f#ck off !!!!!!!!!!!

    OK, i had my first ride this morning on the way to work with the 103 .
    HOLLY SHIT It pulls like a train.
    My last bike was an 89 softail with a 96 cube s&s motor ,andrews cam,sideshots and a forcewinder and dynoed to perfection at Rick Heffernen Racing and i reckon this thing would take it (once it loosens up)
    Anyway ill see how quick i get bored of it and want something more. But all in all it seems to be a pretty descent combination.

    Gonna do something similar 09 softy, I had the pleasure to ride with Ando last weekend and his bike sure pulls strong, it will no doubt be better when it loosens up.

    I'm going with the stage two 103 SE 255 set up to start with and may change the cams and heads later.......
