WHAT IS SOME THINGS I CAN DO TO GET MORE H.P. OUT OF MY 07 HARLEY FXDSE ?

I'VE ALREADY PUT ON VANCE %26amp; HINES BIG RADIUS EXHAUST %26amp;INSTALLED THE SCREAMIN EAGLE RACING TUNER.WHAT IS SOME THINGS I CAN DO TO GET MORE H.P. OUT OF MY 07 HARLEY FXDSE ?
why didn't you buy a real bike with some horsepower
tornado air kit 11plus hp

I love mineWHAT IS SOME THINGS I CAN DO TO GET MORE H.P. OUT OF MY 07 HARLEY FXDSE ?
More power?

My '06 came with the TC88.

The darn thing would literally pull itself out from under my butt when I got it!



It's actually a little slower with the opened pipes.
Open the throttle up all the way.........WHAT IS SOME THINGS I CAN DO TO GET MORE H.P. OUT OF MY 07 HARLEY FXDSE ?
Hmm.... ALL CAPS must mean he's shouting, because he can't hear himself think over those open pipes.



I'll agree with the previous poster that said his bike ran worse with open exhaust. Very often, open pipes only give the impression of increased horsepower because of increased volume. Engines require a certain amount back-pressure in the exhaust manifold to run properly.



You really don't need more HP. You need suspension upgrades. That bike already can't handle well enough to maximize the HP you do have.
The first question should be why do you think you need more hp? The bike has more than enough to get you into trouble.



As is, it will smoke most cruiser style bikes. In addition, horse power comes at a cost. Accelerated wear on parts, use more fuel with less efficiency, and if you are into riding the twisty's, it will get you into trouble with this bike's geometry.



However, if you feel the need for speed, I suggest modifying the air box to draw in more air. You will also need to modify your fuel injection mapping to keep the bike from running lean, and add a large oil cooler as well. Once you start adding hp buy the above method you will notice that it will start to run towards the hot side.



If you are wanting extra hp to keep up with the crotch rocket group, then get a sport bike. There are many sport bikes from 600cc to 1000cc that will outperform this bike in acceleration and lowend torque that will take the twisties far better and act like they are glued to the road.



Now if you are riding with a cruiser group, learn this bike and how far you can push it. It will handle twisties better than most with the exceptions of some of the bikes made by Buell, and the V-Rod. The big four from Japan lack cruisers that will handle like this bike. However, don't be surprised when you encounter some old fart on a 883 that out corners you.



Most performace mods do not give you the best bang for the buck. The best you can hope for is a 5% to 10% increase unless you actually put a blower/super charger and run a 1 to 2 pounds of boost. However expect the bike to eventually to grenade when boost, or Nitrous is added. From personal experiance, it is too tempting to hit the nitrous button, or think that if I got a 25% increase from 2lbs of boost how much more I'd get with 3lbs? The eventual answer is an expensive repair, or a delivery to the junk yard.



My suggestion is be happy with it as is, and ride it like you stole it!
the 96 inch motor is the basically the same as the old 88 twin cam but with the stroker crankshaft. if you go to big bore pistons you will come out with 103 cubic inches. do not use the h-d pistons. builders like using the stock heads to modify and the original cylinders to bore out. the heads have more meat to work with, a stage 2 porting should run about $400.00 to $500.00 with larger valves and compression releases. the original cylinders are "seasoned" and make better big bore cylinders than buying new big bore cyl's from h-d.

check out head-quarters.com, they have some very good kits available.
seriously....if u want serious, actual, factual, and REAL help with this, take my advice: 1, ignore 98% of what's on here. 9 out of 10 is squiddly rice rocketeer's that cant ride. we have wanna-be squids that DONT ride on here also.

2: go straight to this site and register. u will find a better bunch of peeps here that wont bs u like on here. http://www.harleychatgroup.com



the people up there will actually try to help u get the most out of ur scoot, and trade ideas on things they might not have tried yet. there's too many anti-harley idiots here be sure. u want the straight dope, i just sent ya to the spot.
There are plenty of ways to increase horsepower.

But, there is an old saying, "Horsepower cost money, how fast ($) do you want to go?"
Why would you want to get more power out of an engine that is already pushed to it's limits (as evidenced by it's overheating problems). And has a chassis that can't even deal with the current ammount of power you have which is not much at all. Face it man you bought a lame duck Harley. No power, no handling, can't handle upgrades well, no excitement. If you wan't an american bike that at least has some sembelance of performance get a buell. If you want a real bike with superior performance check out Japanese and Europen makes. They make bike that have superior performance, sound, quality, comfort, and price.
