New Motor....
#22
I originaly went from a 96 to a 103 with head work. Now that it's time for another rebuild I decided to have the bottom end done first. Turns out my sproket shaft was too far out and I need a new crank. So if I have to put a new crank in it anyway no reason not to put a bigger crank in right. So the 4 3/8" crank becomes a 4 5/8" and what was going to be a 117" build just went to a 124".

103 and flat tops for me, already have cams,, might do heads??
waiting till she needs it, at present rate 8-9K a yr and my age I may not ever need to redo the top end.

No. They're not. It's done in the Product Development facility in Wauwatosa. The engines are remanufactured to original factory specs. The rods on an S&S are about twice the heft of stock Harley rods.

Neither. I am of the school of thought that if you tear into your motor with any mods other than a stage 1 or race tune, the reliability decreases in proportion to the size of the build. 96" will take me anywhere. Won't compromise my reliability to get there a little bit sooner. I'd rather use the $$ for other upgrades that don't compromise reliability.
If I ever wanna go fast, I'll do it the RIGHT way & get a Boss Hoss. NOW you're talking FAST!!

have a 110 now with just a basic stage 1. not near as quick as my 107 was, but i'm keeping this one 'safe' in order to stay with the esp.
