Ok, thank you. I will get clarification tomorrow. What do the upgrades do for the performance?
i think the exhaust are Big Radius. I know they are obviously Vance and Hines. They are LOUD!

All the work was done years ago they told me. Bike runs fast and strong. So I guess everything is correct. Sorry for all the questions. I’m a newbie to the Big Twin and all the upgrades. I am curious about what everyone thinks about Big Radius pipes. Like I was saying, they are really loud.
Thank you for all the help.

More than likely it was an 88 to 95" Big Bore .. Have heard of as high as 98" Kits but to go to a 103" would have to lengthen the Stroke which is an awful lot of Work and Money ..

Like I said earlier, the pipes are V&H big radius. Turns out the baffles are out. This thing is loud! I mean shake the neighbors windows, set off car alarms loud! I’m thinking for keeping the peace, I should get some get the V&H Quiet Baffles for the pipes. Doesn’t affect performance and they really just tone down the sound. Just trying to keep the peace!!
