Greetings Gang,
Newbie here with a renewed interested in upgrading my 2000 Softail Standard to new levels of performance.
I've read a bit thus far but am hoping to clarify proper steps to step up performance without sacrificing existing reliability. As one of my friends put it as we were on the roadside one night late, "why are we never wrenching on Bubba's schidt?" I want to keep it that way.
To be fair, the others in the group were riding custom-built bikes and I was on the "manufactured" bike.
I have made a slew of cosmetic upgrades including tires, wheels - including matching brake rotors, seat - matching concho, pegs, grips, bags, windshield, chrome this, chrome that, yadda yadda yadda.
The bike looks good basically but the only performance mods have been Screamin' Eagle plug wires, breather and exhaust. I feel the bike runs very solid aside from the occasional "belch" (which occasionally kills the motor) that I have never been able to get rid of.
So, long story I know, but I am now itching to make this looker more of a runner.
Thanks guys!
Bubba
