Very interesting . . . Either of those looks the best way to go if I blew a motor out completely on a scoot . . . but to build up an HD motor on a pre-owned I buy, perhaps I should start by buying a pre-owned 2007 at the best price I can find . . . then work that engine up to where I want to be . . . looks like I could do more building up with the 96ci motor than with the 88ci motor in a 2005 HD . . . am I right?

Trailer with it all loaded up would be a perfect 117 build with a short cam (like a woods TW6)that pile drives the low end torq up. It would pull great. Might run out of steam in the way upper rpm ranges, but like Scott said before you could slap a John Deere sticker on there and rent it as a stump puller. I know Hillside has done a bunch of those and they would be cheaper as well as all the expensive valvetrain equipment wont be needed!

I like the tighter port heads for something like this, we redo a lot of S&S heads and the first thing we find when we weld and cnc port them is they get more torque much quicker when we tighten up the ports. The next thing is they cool down. An example is my 113" S&S that went from 100 T&H to 125 T&H and cooled down the oil 20-25 degrees. The 5th gear dyno pull went from 8 seconds to mid 5's. You can do this same thing with the stock heads (weld and cnc port). This will pull the trailer better than a lot of cubes with big ports and valves.

Man! That looks like the last hill I climbed on a dirt bike! Awesome! Did you start with a stock 96 or 88?
