You can go up to 107" but not with a factory "kit". There are factory 103" kits but it would be better to contact one of the forum sponsors and discuss your goals with them and see what they have to offer. Aftermarket kits will not cost more but will produce better results. You will have to DIY the modifications or find an competent independent shop to put the kit together.
You have just scratched the surface; keep digging and learning.

We were one of the very first shops in the country to do this, starting in 2006, with the 88" engines, boring to 3.937", yielding 98".
That said, we have several head/cam/intake combinations of 107" engines, to suit your needs.
Happy to help.

A matched combination of cubic inch, compression, cam, and cylinder heads is the way to go.

Bolt together
So being that I’m not a certified harley mechanic I’m looking for something I can buy and put together myself I am not a wealthy man but I can can turn a wrench and I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty. So I guess I like the 107 kit and I want to know what’s going to work bolt up

As djl suggested, Call one of the sites sponsors. There are many out there and they will do you right, to your riding style. I have been doing business with Scott (Hillside) for many years initially because I lived not even 20 miles from him now I mail my parts or take a weekend to go see him. I'm very confident Kirby aka Prodrag1320, Veetwin racing or even Wideopencycles can give you exactly what your looking for. not to mention the phone support... These guys arefor real and some of the Best out there... You can find them all here on the forum...
