Twin Cam 88B to 107 Build Instructions
New to the forum (or any forum) so I apologize for anything I'm screwing up here.
I recently did a Twin Cam 88B to 107 build on a 2001 Fatboy and did quite a bit of research since I had never done a build on any motorcycle engine.
Since you can't buy an off the shelf B motor that I know of, I kinda had to build my own. Also really wanted to try it.
Anyway, I wrote myself some step by step instruction on the build. I reference some videos that helped and explained some processes along the way, added notes to remind me not to make some common mistakes. It was easier than trying to reference the manual at every step of the way. Although I still used it quite a bit. The manual is a must.
I'm not saying it's absolutely complete or accurate for your build but it may be helpful for someone to read or reference if you are doing any Twin Cam 88B build.
I had Darkhorse do the bottom end since I had to do a new crank, TMAN worked the heads, but everything else I did myself. I threw the budget out the window and you could probably buy a complete SS motor for what I spent but I really just wanted to do it and it was really rewarding (so far).
Ended up with 119 HP and 124 TQ. That is with VH Longshots. Not 2 into 1. I did weld in a crossover that I robbed from a set of Dyna pipes so I think that helped. Probably would gain 5 to 10 HP/TQ if I didn't want to keep the VH pipes but I just couldn't bring myself to it. Maybe someday.
If anyone is interested, I have attached a word doc with all my instructions. I have tons of photos as well and some SS instruction sheets which are referenced in the doc if anyone is interested.
I'm sure a lot of guys on here will see a bunch of stuff I did wrong or wasted money on but it is what it is and it does run like hell. Most of what I did was what TMAN had recommended as far as cam, TB and runner size etc. The clutch basket was just for my own piece of mind.
Anyway
