I have an 07 FXSTSSE, V&H pro pipes, Heavy breather and race tuner w/dyno picked up about 3 hp and 9 lbs. of torque.
Just had the 110 upgrade/recall. HD also covered having the rocker boxes milled for clearence during this fix. Thicker head gaskets have reduced the compression ratio which inturn has dropped the HP and torque below the standard numbers. Bike is not as quick, or as much fun, but temp is much lower.
Only bikes recieving new heads are the touring bikes,at this time. I would bet that the new heads are not as good as the ones currently used because they will reduced the HP and tourque far below the cuuent levels.
Tech said in side of my motor was as clean as a new one with no wear signs or damage. Pays to use Amsoil.

mine didn't have any leaks at 2800 miles either, but at 5100 miles it's like someone flipped a switch, and both head gaskets and the rear cylinder base gasket started leaking!
