I'm not shakin or bakin
My riding buds say I have a good one......and I agree
I still have the 96" engine thinking to go to 103" or bigger.
My buds have stock bikes; 110" bikes; and mod bikes of different set-ups; and I am hands down the smoothest ride (we all agree), but I want more power (never happy)........So
Question is: If I go w/ a bigger bore (not stroke) will I incure more vibations at crusin speeds?

If you go to a 103", you will have more reciprocating mass, although it is minimal, which could result in a touch more shake at idle, but really doubt if you will notice it at above idle or even at idle. The shakes that some are talking about on the 07'sand then referencing IDS has absolutely nothing to do with the engine, it is the compensating sprocket set-up that HD went to in 07. I ran a pretty "over the top" build 103" all this year, 10k miles and really didnt think it vibrated any more than stock. Also, the notion that if you change stock pipes to others, it will shake is ridiculous. They are just pieces of steel that control the flow of gases. Yes, they control it differently, resulting in different torque curves and HP, but if you mountthe pipesright, you will not notice a difference there either.
I did install the IDS on my bike and it made a huge difference going down the road. I am now going to 120" - and I ride two up with the wife almost all the time, I wouldn't even think of building the engine if it resulted in a bike that vibrated more, got poor fuel mileage, or was unreliable. I ride too much to always be worrying about those things.
