Default Dropped bike off for 103 upgrade today

Took bike in for the 10 k service this morning, got to talking to the service manager about a 103 upgrade, told me there is a special on the upgrade going on, $1065 all in for jugs, pistons, already have the ac and SE exhaust, told him to go ahead and do it. Firstly, is this a good deal? Want to get to 100/100 so I know I will need head work, looking at Big Boyz to do the porting and polishing, good choice without breaking the bank? Planning to do the cams myself, want to stick with SE cams, looking for advice as to which one. Will get D&D 2-1 exhaust. Already have a Tmax.

Call or PMDoc 1 who lives just outside of Orlando and ask him. You'll know if he does it that it will be done right. He's been doing these for years and was an instructor at the HD school for a few years.

Ride safe,

$1065? I'd do it... if you feel good about the mechs at the shop. I' ve been looking for good performance upgrades, and all the pipes/air/fuel combos I've been looking at cost almost that. If you want some displacement, sounds like a way to go... I wish I had a shop close by I could trust to do such a thing... planning to do all my own wrenching. Good luck!

Sounds like a parts build to me, a little expensive. I'd look at the Andrews 37 cams. If Big Boyz is real busy try GMR in arizona or headquarters. Guess yer going with SE pistons.

You can have the jugs bored for about 140.00.
If I remember close the SE Flat top pistons are not that expensive.
My builder out a stronger spring in the oil pump.
Then you have the gasket kit.
If I was gonna do the heads I would do the jugs and pistons too at the same time while I have the engine torn down and the cams. Get all the parts and find a indy builder and have it done all at once or you will be gettin to a lot of down time and labor.

211 SE Cams Rock! Sheitloads of mid range...... I think I would pass on a 103 short of needing a new top end. Your basically buying a .30 over bore and that unto itself is not alot on the table....Your definatelygoing to needs some cams alongwith the headsto achieve 100/100!
