Hobgood,
take a look at these threads:

and familiarize yourself with the How-To's...
Don't get wrapped up in moding your bike right away. Get your knowledge base up and your tools and reference material in order FIRST. This way, when you do something to the bike, you know what your torque specs are and what tools you'll need and how to tweak this and than as nothing is bolt on.
About the easiest thing you can do to a bike (or car) is put fuel in it!
Everything else will require a plan, some patience and $$. (read my sig).
Good luck, you are in the right place!

LDO is right Hobgood i would order something and then go buy a tool to install it.Get you some stubby screw drivers, damn i didnt know they made them so short...
Thanks guys I talked to my local Big Dog Dealer today. He suggested a .600 cam and air cleaner. He is going to service the bike next week and get everything the way I want it. He is going to check the carb out to make sure we get that restrictor plate out and proper jetting. I also bought some Hooker Troublemaker Pipes at a deal. Even if I don't like them I only got $180 dollars in them. Thanks again

There is a pretty good chance you may have to do valve springs too.

The newer dogs have the larger springs but with 05 being the first year for all the epa crap I'm not sure. I know my brother in-laws 05 had to have new springs. I would question your dealer. This way you know exactly what your getting.
Good luck
