I asked local dealer (Laidlaw's HD) for 95' kit plus S&S gear drive cams. They say it will cost me about $2400 +/- parts & labor.

Yes it looks like the 07's do have the 96" TC. Big freaking deal. Looks like they only have 92.6TQ@3500RPM and that's at the crank not rear wheel #'s. That's only up what? 6-8TQ from a bone stock 88".
At the crank maybe.........that doesn't mean much for the street as you loose about 20% in the drivetrain.

OK, so I'm going to trade in the '99 Ultra for an '07 ... and I want to build the engine to a 95" ... like my '99 ...

I'm thinking of building it myself over the winter ... using the Harley kit.

My questions ... how hard is it to do the build myself ... or should I just get the dealer to do it? Any special tools a guy needs?

I'm fairly mechanical, do all my own maint on my bike and cars ... but have never pulled a TC apart or even taken one out of a bike. I have a shop in my garage where I can do the build ...

So, how hard is it?

Thanks,
RB
If I'm not mistaken, the 07's come with 96ci's and that was accomplished with a longer stroke. Now, you may be able to add the big bore 95ci cylinders (top end didn't change) and end up with 103ci's. jmo

Good point 04RK. I was looking at the specs and depending on which model you buy, the torque range is from 89 (about the same as an 88 engine) to 92 point something. I was at the dealer today and IF you can believe them, the really good news for the 07 guys is that the bottom end of the engine plus rods are from the 103 engine. That means you could simply change the cyclinders and you end up with a 103. Bad news is you are still left with the chain drive and proably mild cams. Good news for the 88 guys is that a BB kit is a lot cheaper than a whole new motorcycle. Put the right cams in the BB and you have an 07, 103 Harley killer. Disclaimer: I'm only repeating what I've been told cause basically, I don't know what I'm talking about. It does however sound logical to me.

Default RE: Building a 95" from a new 88 ... WHOOPS ...

OK, OK ... I guess a lot happens when a guy isn't paying attention ... yes the new ones are 96" ...

In my defense I've been away for a while so missed this 96" intro ... but a good thing it seems to be ...

Now the question is do they have it right or are we going to get A and B models like the TC ...

Thanks, I'll try and keep up from now on ...

You are correct about how they came up with the added displacement and I believe you are correct about adding the 95 BB in order to get a 103-man the new engines are sounding nicer and nicer. I am wondering how many bugs there will be in them this first year??

Where are you finding the performance charts on the new motor. I have looked but no luck. Please post a link.
CLICK HERE

Then click on whichever model you'd like, and in the bottom left click "View Specs" and a pop-up window will list all the info you are looking for!
