Hi Steve and welcome to HDF. Which Sudbury are you in, there are a few around the World!

To see the instructions for H-D products like their 1200 kit you should be able to find them on their H-D usa website, just go to the Shop tab and enter the details of your bike.

To upgrade your bike there are other brands available, Hammer Performance and their 1250 big-bore kit being very popular in here. To see details look at their website, but also use Search for '1250', when you should find a few threads showing the installation of one.

 

I recommend the NHRS 1250 conversion. http://www.nrhsperformance.com/ekitsportster04.shtml

 

Ok thanks guys will check it out

 

I just bought a Hammer performance 1250 kit. Best out there in my opinion.

 

I got the screaming eagle one from Harley was looking at how to install it

 

If you do a search (try to Google it using hdforums at the end) for 883 conversions you will see quite a few step-by-step threads on it. Look at the 1250 threads too as the procedure is basically the same.

I did a 1200 conversion about 17 years ago. It's fairly straightforward.

Good luck

 

when is this going down? i think you ordered that before i went bouncing down the highway a month ago.

 

it came with instructions right? there are a few threads walling through the process

 

If you bought a new kit it came with instructions, which will include recommending that you also use the factory service manual. You will find that those of us who work on our own bikes heartily endorse that manual! The instructions are also on the H-D website, as I mentioned earlier. Read the words off the pages and ask us specific questions.
