I've been looking but only found kits to upgrade from the 883.

Also, any ideas on an oil cooler? I'm not into the vertical type. I'm looking for a horizontal mount that fits on frame directly behind front tire. I talked to jpcycles.com they said that they don't make them for sporty's cause it wont fit.... BS.

I have a horizontal oil cooler that is a kind of a knock off of the old Lockhart oil cooler that I have on my XLCR and it mounts on the front of the frame but it needs a special bracket that I have and it fits my ’99 XL883 Sportster. I do not know if it will fit a later year frame because of the rubber motor mounts and the frame change that came on the ’04 and later Sportsters. I can check with the indy shop and see if it will fit and if it does, I can post up the part number for the oil cooler and the bracket number too so that you could order one from a shop near you or you and I can make a deal for the one that I already have that is new, unopened in the box, along with the new bracket that will be needed to mount the oil cooler to the frame. I should be able to post up YEA or NAY tomorrow on if it will fit or not. Until then, take care and ride safe out there!

Give Zippers and S&S a look for some big bore kits. They've been around for a long time.

+1, They are probably the most informative, affordable and accessible.

Yeah NRHS is the way to go. They offer all kinds of good parts. I wanted to go with the 80" or 90" but with those you have to have your cases bored out and i like to do all my own work so it wasnt an option for me. BTW im in the F***in AFG right now and get to come home in another 6 weeks!!
