Default Building a 95" from a new 88 ...

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

Maybe I mis-understood what you were saying, but I believe the '07 Ultra comes with the new TC 96" engine and six speed tranny stock

ummm, scuse me for my ignorance, but why would you want to downgrade the 07 engine?

from what i understand, the 07's are coming off the line with a new redesigned twin cam 96"

correct me if im wrong

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".

Yea, I am also not impressed with the numbers from the output of the new engines. I plan on upgrading my 88 to a 95" and I plan on getting close to 100/100 performance from it.

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

I found it in the exhaust section on this forum. I just sent it to you let me know if you received it or not.
