Just got my bike back from gettingthe 883 to 1200 conversionlast night
Its killing me to go for a ride but woke up to SNOW covered roads today
Put some new mirrors on last night to help with the AGONY.

 

Remember Jason, it's essentially a new engine. Same breakin speeds/RPMS as a new bike apply. You'll want to roll the throttle but try to resist. Get some nice pipes and get the SE AC and rejet to about 180/45. With the 883 gears and Stage 1 1200cc engine.......Hold on tight Bro. That sucker will haul some a$$.

 

I have Vance and hines straightshots HS
also screamin eagle dynojet kit
also the SE A/C stage 1 kit

my old pistons and cylinders looked brand new when they were takin out
so I will break it in the same way as I did before

anybody know what kind of HP and torque you get with the SE pistons

 

how much did something like that cost$$$?

 

SE 10:1 pistons
pins, springs etc.
gaskets for cylinders and heads
buell 1200 cylinders
dynojet carb kit (new spring, needle, andjets)
OIL and FILTER

AROUND $1200 BUCKS for the Dealer
Cheaper if you do it yourself.

 

Is this a kit the dealer has avalible or is it a piced together thing? Is 1200$ with labor and all or just parts?

 

Yup, it's gonna scream.

I don't hear much talk about the difference in gears between the 883 and 1200 models. The 883s are geared lower so a 1200 conversion is gonna be quicker than a factory 1200. Not faster, but quicker which is where it will count in every day stoplight to stoplight driving.

 

Its a priced together thing.
I wanted the conversion but keeping the bike reliable and road worthy not a race only bike.
They quoted me $1500 at first but if you know your dealer well you can get them to come down a little depending on how busy they are.
I let the dealer do it because the work will still be covered under my warranty.
That also includes labor.

 

I did my Sportster last year. 1200 conversion + stage 1 and dyno tune = 65 horse power.
I'm telling ya the thing can do wheelies.

Price.
$1000 for 1200 conversion
$350 stage 1
$220 dyno tune

 

SO ??? ..... ride yet ?
