Just Trying To Help a Friend Out
What I need is some information about pistons. My friend has an 06 Dyna super glide custom with an 88 ci and I am trying to talk him into a 98 inch build. Now he cant afford a kit as a whole he is going to need Pistons that will work with stock heads that will give him 10.5:1 or there about. Now with that said, where should I get the forged pistons from and if anyone has part numbers that would really help. We will get his jugs board to match the pistons.

Additionally, once you start looking at aftermarket pistons, you must consider the weight of the piston/pin/ring pack and retainers. If the weight of the replacement piston assembly varies 10% or more from the OEM set, you could introduce some crank balance/harmonic vibration into the build. Hillside does have Wiseco pistons for his 98" builds but the piston is proprietary. Send them your cylinders for boring to fit their pistons and sent the heads along as well for cleanup, guide seals and whatever decking is required for the compression.
At least call Hillside or VTwin Performance, forum sponsors, and develop a build plan before you do anything else; they will be able to help with cam choices as well.

I would love to go through Hillside but I don't figger he would sell me or my buddy a complete 98 inch kit couple of pieces at a time. I'm on the way to Hillsides page now to look at the Smoking deal right now.

I would really suggest saving you $$ till you can get everything at once.if the 98" kit is installed @ 10.5-1,its not going to work very well with stock cams (if it`ll even start)
