Hey Gents,

I am rather happy now... After 3 months of waiting on parts and repairs, I finally got my Fatboy back. First of all, I want to say thanks for all the guys that supported me and gave sound advise to me when I got in my accident. I was amazed at the responses I recieved.
3 months ago, After the accident and insurence adjuster, I got cut a check for 7 grand and took it over to the HD shop in Montgomery Al. I live in Daleville/Ft. Rucker area(southern Alabama). The service these guys gave me was second to none. Very helpful and willing to do anything I wanted to the bike. Other shops I have been to were pricks about aftermarket mods. After going over all my extra parts to put on and take off this is what I ended up with.

2005 FLSTF Anniv model. (Black Ghost Flame Paint Set)

SE 1550 (bike came with stage 1 95" kit)
SE 204 cams
Stock heads done by Big Boys
Python 2-1
SE Race Tuner

The bike has many cosmetic goodies but I am mostly pleased with the results of the engine mods. I had them do the SERT tune with a dyno.(bike has 2k miles) Results were 99.2 Tq and 91.4 hp. The service tech was impressed with the numbers. He said they were about the same as his bike but he spent 800 bucks on his SE heads vs my Big boyz ported job for $300.

Very smooth power. No rough spots anywhere. I havent been able to get on it much yet but tomorrow and all weekend I will be glued to my bike.

I'll try to post the pic of my dyno sheet. I dont know much about dynos but of all the ones I've seen on this site and others, I think I have a good one. I'll get a pic of my bike and post it on the Softtail forum. Thanks again to all you guys who supported me on the dark day of my wreck.

I dont want to double post as I know it erks some of you but I want to explain my engine mods and praise Bean at Big Boyz so I'll post something on the "V-Twin: Engine Mods" forum later this week. Take it easy.

--------Chris

PS- I'm an idiot, how do I resize this picture? It says it's to big and that I need to resize it.

You need photo editing software to resize normally. There are free packages out there, just do a Google search.

Or there is a free online resizing service at the link below which is good for occasional use without having to install anything. They have an associated free image hosting site as well if you need it.

640x480 pixels is a good size. I use 750x562 which experiment suggests is about the max without forcing the window to scroll.

Ok , I'll do just that. I am at work now. I'll get online late tonight. Been riding a little today. i am so happy with it. The SERT is as smooth as can be and the heads are flawless. Talk to you later.
