Imho, get a decent exhaust, cams, programmer, and get a good dyno tune.  The previous owner of my SEUC did just that, ended up with around 105HP/115TQ, and 6 years later with 34,000 miles, still runs like a raped ape and get great economy. I think this cost around $2K, and was a great bang for the buck. Stick the other $2K in your pocket and be happy.

Step 1
Ship the bike to Jim (hd-dude)
Step 2
Let Jim do his magic.
Step 3
Fly out to pick it up.
Step 4
Then ride that bitch home smiling all the way.

 ;D

Oh yeah, take pictures on the way home.

So I am looking for input on the best configuration for an upgrade to my '10 SESG.  I use it for extended trips and need reliability.  Want more punch, but need it civilized.

Here's what I am thinking:

Heads done  $1,000 - $1200
Crank balanced, trued, pinned and welded. $1,000 - $1,500
Timken Bearing installed. $500?
Cams $300 - $500
Throttle Body $500
Labor $1,000 - $1500

Oof... I am over by a bit... Perhaps I am estimating on the high side?  How about some specifics on the areas outlined?


A set of good heads, cams, S&S lifters, and pushrods, and an S/E 58mm t/body should be a VERY nice upgrade that would be a ton of fun, without emptying your wallet!!

Now where near enough squeeze, to support that .625.
