Let me explain.

I've had my 2004 Softail EFI for a year, bought it with a stage 1 (S.E) and a few thousand miles on the clock.
Straight away I had straight bars and a Gambler seat, I do not ride a handbag.

I have limited funds, expanding family means that I need to reign things in a little, but this what I see as a 'rest of life' project. There's no rush, I don't intend to part from it.

I want to tinker a little this year, will get some Big Radius pipes when in the 'States later this year.

I am considering the best modifications to make to compliment this.

DFO or 95" rebore.

I don't want a pocket rocket, just a little more grunt, I will eventually increase the CI no matter what, so is the DFO a nice cost effective mod to help the motor breathe more easily.
Does the DFO also mean that when I go 95" or more I don't need the MoCo reflash of the ECU?

If you're not going to get the heads done, then why bother with the bigger displacement? There's plenty of displacement with your stock TC. Get a cam, get the heads done, THEN get the BB kit.

What about the benefits of a dfo or similar on a 88ci Stage 1 Machine.

Will it give me a bit more get up and go or is it a white elephant.
