    yes i searched ok

    so i have a 2011 96 ci deluxe, im 110 kg and when i get away i have a bag full off clothes, the two bags are full  etc.

    i dont want a race bike  ,but something that will pull, give some kind of good fuel returns and start from about 1900 rpm roughly and go to about 4500 rpm.

    what do you guys recommend, there is so much to choose from and all i want to do is ride

    thanks

    ian

    cheers boys. some reading I've done suggests that given the forged crank then runout should be within tolerance. do guys agree with this or say that it still needs to be checked ?

    I would check first

    or just get chain drives with the upgraded Hydralic tensioners

    Sic-puppy,
    I run Feuling Reaper 543 Cams in my FXDF, they run from 1900 RPM to 6000 rpm. Easy install with their adjustable push rods.
    They pull like a sixteen year old with a box of porn..
    Get plenty of torque with a full load. Pass at 100km in sixth with ease...
    I'm about the same build as yourself [trim, taught & terrific] , ride with saddle bags, swag, a sissybar bag & a detachable sreen..
    Use about a liter more fuel per tank than my mates Night Train on a run....

    Cheers,
