what i was thinking of using was the screaming eagle street legal big bore kit with the 203 cams. have my harley dealer put in a and dyna tune it. they just put the 95 kit in and cams.

 

Do use forged pistons.
A bigger forged piston weighs closer to the cast stock piston. This will be better with the "B" engine which has the counterweights.

 

That is exactly the setup I had for about six years on my FLHR. I had the 1550 done at delivery since I knew what a dog the 50-state bike was from test driving. The 1550-setup bike had a lot of torque and power for 2-up cruising and no issues other than having to downshift on mountain updgrades. When the "other 1/2" of the mods were done in later, with gear driven cam and velocity porting, etc,. etc., the difference was more than I was anticipating, much more increase in wheel-pulling power than the original 1550 big-bore kit provided (compared to stock).

 

If it was me and all I was doing was BB and cams with no head work I'd go with the HQ 0034 or the SE204 vs the 203. I've owned a bike with the 95" and 203 cam build and my dad used to have a 06 Ultra with a 95" and 204 cam build. I liked the 204 cams better than the 203's, they just seemed to pull just as hard on the bottom and go higher than the 203.

I will say my dad did have Hillside do a good valve job and some cleanup on the ports then set the compression at 9.7 which made the bike even better. The guy who now owns the bike now always shakes his head and comments on how well the bike runs.

 

Going from 88 to 95 will definetly wake your bike up and come alive, i know i did it. It's a very good idea. And believe it or not, better fuel economy as the motor now doesnt have to work as hard. UNLESS OF COURSE YOUR ON IT ALL THE TIME LIKE ME!!!

 

how do like it ..i am doing 26 andw. cam and gear drive and big bore 95.no head work yet

 

Dalton is correct and I'm out in space calling medium-lift cams "high lift". My bad!

 

i have a nightmare.. care of harley davidison of fort myers fl.. my bike blew a cam chain tentioner.. harley rebuild my motor 3 times cause they cant fix motors there .. everything in the top end of my motor is new the 1550 kit.. but when i go accross a bridge it sounds like motors rattling but it quites down back on regular road .. when i pass cars doing about 70 i have to drop it a gear (4th) and my valves seam to be rattling real bad ... they have adjusted my push rods and it fixes nothing... they tell me mt warrenty has run out anyone have the noises i haveand there doing no more to it unless i pay for it... they have never fixed my bike right..i cant figure out the problem .. they replaced my cams and chant tell me what cams i have and wont open it up to tell me..

 

Sounds very odd indeed.
