Default Heat issues

Should I expect heat issues boring my cvo 103 to 107?
Would I be better off buying a set of aftermarket 107 cylinders?

My normal riding is 60 to 75 mph on 4 lanes and county hwys. Most of the time I'm not riding in town but I don't want to worry about heat if I am.

No heat issue whatsoever.
BTW, we have that same bike in currently, going from 103" to 107".
Lifter roller failure raised hell, causing the rebuild.

hillsidecycle they say your the best but I'm not close to you have a question. Just put in the S&S 107 kit with 585 cams adjustable pushrods rocker arms lifters fueling HP oil pump and cam plate. Having over heating problems not getting all the power when I turn the throttle and finding flakes in my oil please help.
