      I have a 03 Roadglide stage1 flash,air filter,and touring slip on mufflers. Getting ready to do a build soon. Do a lot of touring so am looking for tq in low to mid range, fuel mileage, and reliably. Ride two up most of time, loaded heavily, may get a trailer to pull soon.  Would like see suggestions on best build. What heads, cams ,pistons ect. to use.  Thanks ahead  of time for all help

Throw a set of Andrews TW21 cams in and see how ya like em'. If you do but want more, go 95", your heads with a performance valve job, and .030 gasket.   Make for a nice touring bike without breaking the bank.
You could do it all at once and I'm sure you would be happy with it.
Will need a tunable EFI managemant system.  TTS, PC ..etc.

Best thing I have seen for heavy baggers is the welded and cnc ported R&R stage 4 head work with their RR615 cam set at 10.8 to 1- 95" JE, CP, or Wisco pistons in stock cylinders with the stock throttle body and PC3 or the S&S "G" carb. Very quick torque with good power without pinging or heat issues. The only thing that I've seen that's better is there stage 5 heads with the HPI throttle body. 7-800 rpm later torque but more of it.

The Hippo build is a great bang for the buck. Quiet and reliable.

King, I keep seeing you recommend R&R products but I can't seem to find any information on them.  Can you provide a link to the cam specs?

Andrews 26. Take the cylinders to 95-98", and a good set of cylinders heads* to compliment. Very strong build for your intended use.

Like my 95 inch bagger with Big Boyz Heads and Andrews 26.
