Back in the late 70's and 80's, when I was running a Pro-Stock Kawasaki, Rick Stetson was running a Pro-Comp Suzuki that always did very well. I think he used to do all the work on Ed Ryan, and Geo. Corey's Pro-Stock bikes.
Imo, he's a very knowledgeable individual.

I live in Northborough Ma.

I have some dealings with Him, Rick is his name if I remember correctly.

I would prefer not to post any opinions good or bad so if you would like to know more please PM me with your questions or concerns.
I know of several people or shops in the area that may suit your needs better depending on what it is you are looking for if his shop does not do what you want


I also know of a guy that does head work...........I had my heads done by him, Very good work, Track proven.........Grafton Ma.
Thanks.

Spoke with Hotbagger1 last night,

He has a 2001 Carbed {mikuni} 95" ~ 100 hp or better street glide.....say's it runs very nice and has great power for a 95"
R&R stage 2 heads (only porting, stock valve size) wiesco pistons and S&S 585's.

He is looking for more and on a budget........ Thinks better heads and bigger cam and possibly pistons will get him there.

All recommendations thus far are to stroke it and go 107. But budget wont allow right now.

I could not recommend much as he said his friend who does most of the wrenching says it is one of the more powerful of the 95 " around.

From what I have seen here, most 95" that are daily drivers peak around 110 to 115 hp and corresponding torque....It also cost a good amount to get there and a very good build plan and builder/tuner.

Of course I feel a carbed motor has limitations on tuning.......unlike EFI.....

If anyone following this thread has any ideas on how he could achieve bigger numbers and have it daily driver please offer suggestions.


EDIT::  I just realized he has another thread.... http://harleytechtalk.com/htt/index.php/topic,86761.0.html

One thing I will add to all of this is after speaking to him, He says he has 10.5:1 pistons but has no idea on combustion CC's or head gasket thickness so the actual compression is unknown maybe he could get a cranking compression reading and post to give some Idea of compression.

Anyway there are more knowledgeable motor people here than I..........

I was going to mention John in my original post but I didn't want the OP to think I had any other reason except for his excellent work.
