Thanks Jim, what other changes were you thinking. Cams are done, headers with true dual, barnett clutch. Only thing left are the heads and maybe throttle body. What do you think? Small cubic change to the 110 but some pretty good tq and hp from my current 100hp.

Realistically what gains would I be looking at completing the 107 with heads ?

I have a 107 build in my Road King currently at 100hp/105tq. I'm looking for more power and my guy recommended 2 options. Add the heads for some minimal yet noticeable gains. Or do the 110 drop in, jugs,cylinders and heads and expect 120-130hp. I'm still debating. Looking at a 1200 price difference buttttt if I'm not going to be satisfied with the little gains might just go for broke.
It would help to know current compression, exhaust, cams, fuel management and if dyno tuned or mapped.:icon_wink;

To be honest, 100hp/105tq are numbers that are hit with some 95"/98" builds these days. My last 95" motor built nearly 15 years ago made 104hp/94tq and my current 98" motor hits 115/115. So, that said, plenty of potential with your 107" but it will likely mean more compression, head work for sure, better cams, and probably better exhaust but the potential for 115 plus numbers is there with your current platform; on the fence on the need for a T/B upgrade; maybe larger injectors though.

Nobody's saying that. If it's just jugs and pistons, (you're keeping your cam I guess?) and I had to choose between a 110 with stock heads or a 107 with polished and ported heads I know which way I'd be leaning, BUT you can recoup some cash by selling your 107 takes offs. Tough call. Let us know which way you go.

Thanks Jim. The 110 drop in would include new heads......
I myself am always skeptical with repair guys after years of always fighting with car places, etc. Try to do everything myself but motor work I'll leave to someone who knows it.
