Default 88 to a 96

I have a 06 streetglide. Want to bump it up to a 96. It is fuel injected. My buddy has a 04 roadking carburated he is giving me his jugs and heads are they the same and will they work on my streetglide being fuel injected

It won't work. The difference between an 88 and a 96 is stroke not bore. The jugs are the same.

You can bore to 95 and there may be other kits but to answer the question, no.

Contact Scott (Hillside), Kirby (prodrag1320), or Steve at GMR about a 97" or 98" big bore kit using your existing rods and crank.

Yes to all. Might as well go to 97" or 98". About the same cost and more displacement/compression.

Bore your cylinders to 98" with your heads.
