More Displacement for Wide Glide
I have a 2004 Wide Glide with 88ci engine. I want to increase the displacement and have seen a lot of conflicting information. Some say a 95 is max. Some say a 96, but the 95 is better...and so on. Some say a 103 will fit. So here's the question:
What's the largest engine or kit to increase displacement on a 2004 wide glide that will bolt to the 5-speed transmission and will fit without frame or other major modifications?
Thanks for any comments.

Here's what I did on my '05 Super Glide.
Most say its a waste of mone for an older bike by this is the biggest you can go. I think Fuelmoto has a good deal for a 97 inch which will work just as well for a lot less.

When I built my 88 a few years ago, S&S had a 95, 97, and 100 inch option. The shop doing my headwork recommended against 100" pistons, citing cylinder wall thickness. I listened to them and went with the 97" option. Looks like they've since dropped the 100" pistons and replaced them with 98". I don't know that an inch or two provides anything you would notice (all else being the same), but (at least with S&S) the different piston sets are different designs and yield different compression ratios. It's important to match compression with your heads and cams.
