I think the majority of the members (including myself) that split cases and reinforce the bottom end have it done by John's shop at Dark Horse.
........your looking at around $1,300 to have timkin and everything balanced/bluepirnted and crank welded. I had them disasseble and put mine together too (was around $200).

I think I'm pretty set on doing up the crank, I guess I was just looking for someone to tell me to save my money lol
I had the timken in mind as well.. Guess it's time to start researching and pricing some of this stuff out. 113-117"?! Are you trying to get me killed? Lol. I was gonna try and keep it to around 103-106". I figured with good cams, head work and possible tb I should be able to get to around 115-120hp. What you think? You got a stock welded crank in that beast of yours? That's one of my favorites on here, your bike just looks pissed off, I like it

I may look into that crank. I've seen a fm 107 kit in person and I'm pretty weary about going that route. Cylinder walls are razor thin and the cylinders I saw had a huge wave in the middle of them. They had to be sent back to fm for another pair. I don't know how much more I can stroke the 96" to gain some cubic inches. Time to start researching!

I remember reading about dark horse. Not sure if it was your write up or another one. Unfortunately I'm all the way in California, but still something to keep in mind. I dig your gray cases with the black heads and barrels, I've been planning on doing the same. It's gonna hurt to shell out the extra $1500 or so but I want to do it right

Not really but you already have tim.. bearings any way.
They stopped using the tim. bearings in 03.
2002 was the last year they used them.
Since it is a 01 you will have to bore the case to use the 106/107 cylinders anyway; might as well go ahead and go 113 etc... You will need a stroker kit.
The 88 and 96 uses the same bore and cylinders.
I may be out of turn here but I would consider going larger since you have to have the case work done any way. I finished my 113 last spring. It was a 2005 88ci. Bored the case, welded the crank, pinned, and balanced with light weight H rods. Stage 5 head work, SS585 gear cams, pro clutch-like I posted-Baker OD6 transmission.
I can say this, I have a SS106 wide glide this is a fun bike and has plenty of power. When I first rode the 113 when it was finished all I could say was wow! It will eat my 106 for breakfast.
I suggest you to do a lot of research.
Talk to known good builders.
The main thing you want to accomplish that all parts are working together as a whole.

When it was first built I did. I am fixing to have both my Dyna bikes dynoed now that they have enough miles to finish the tune.
I was waiting on finishing the 113 and getting enough miles on it to check. I have a Street Glide I need to have tuned and it is a pretty good drive so I am taking all 3 at the same time to get it all out of the way.
117.8hp with 122tq.
Cams hit at 3,000 rpm's. When they hit hang on.
Either way a good 106/107 are good choices. I play with Honda VTX 1800 bikes just to break my boredom. LOL
