'04 FLHRCI Bottom end work
To all;
I'm planning to upgrade my '04 FLHRCI in the fall. Initially, the plan was just do a top-end 95" upgrade, i.e., pistons, heads, and cams. I currently have ~27K miles on the bike and by November it will probably be over 30K miles. My question is, should I just bite bullet and put a new crank, bearing, seal, etc. in while I'm doing this upgrade? If I decide to R/R the crank, I might as well go to 107" stroker kit. I understand you lose a little longevity with a stroker motor, but this is a very mild stroke and based upon Donny Peterson's favorable evaluation of the new TC88 cases there should be no problem with going this direction. As far as I know, I have no issues with the bottom-end right now. The collective wisdom of the group is appreciated.
Thanks.
