Hey fella's, I'm looking at doing some work to the 2000 FatBoy and I am doing some research. My plan is to punch her out to 95", use some Crane cams with a .570 lift and either buy a pair of S.E. performance heads or have mine massaged. I have a website that I think links you to the business Hippo works for, Charlies machine shop if I'm not mistaken. Hippo is this correct? At any rate they appear to offer porting and valve size correction for $750.
I have a couple of questions, which would be better the S.E. heads or having mine worked over. Also, how many cubic inches will the stock 40mm carb support adequately. I love the CV carb but do not want to pay $350 for the S.E. 44mm and manifold. I could put a 42mm Mikuni flat slide on for $275...but again I would rather work with the one I already own if it's practicle.
Anyone else had any head work done or purchased the S.E. performance heads? I'm looking for someone who is really good to do the work if I do not buy the S.E. performance heads.
The bike currently has a Hypercharger, Thunderslide kit, V&H Straight Shots and a S.E. performance ignition. I believe the proposed additions should round out the engine really well.
Thanks for any advice offered.
