    Hey

    I have a 2010 Street Bob and I've ordered SE Heavy Breather, SE Race Tuner and V&H big radius pipes for it. What would be another reletively cheap and easy mod to get a few more HP out of it? Does anyone know the rough $ to fit a 103 kit, supply and fit? Can I make simple changes without having to pull the whole motor out?

    Cheers

    Gibbo, no need to pull the motor for the work you want.

    You'll get a thousand different opinions on what to do with your setup, 

    Depending on what your after regarding power, I would look at just doing cams, as that's the cheapest bang for your buck before doing a 103 kit. Choose a cam that will work with the 103 conversion if you decide to do it later on.

    Gibbo I am waiting like you for my bike ... only 10 days away now. I have picked a bike with the 103, hope I can handle it. Got almost a 1000km trip to get used to it.

    Evilsim, are you getting the 103 SE Fatboy from Daytona Sports at Nerang GC??? As walker says, don't get too excited, the stock SE motors are nothing special in mumbo....

    Yeah Harry thats the one ...

    And I understand it's not gonna be a GP winner but some power to pull away from our new traffic light might be alright ... but it does sound fast.

    Apart from the V-Rod the other bikes were very doey on the open day.

    That bike is a good lookin scoot, the grid paint jobs always look tops, I am sure you will love it.

    You'll know it pretty well by the time you get it home. Keep in touch with Skulz up there in CQ, he can give you some ideas for improving the performance of softails.....  

    Enjoy.
