A. What’s your power goals? B. What’s your budget?
I recommend a set up from Hammer Performance, anything from mild to wild. They now offer a 1275cc set up!
We side-step that and go to a 1450cc/88" with Axtell 3 13/16" cylinders, when a client wants the big power, w/o increasing the stroke. (but a 106", 4 5/8" stroke/108", 4 3/4" stroke, and if one wants the full enchilada...114" with a 5" arm.....total bad-*** street XL.)
Not only will that run the hp up higher, at 88", but the torque comes way up.
Very common to see 100 ft/lbs from an 88" XL set up.

On a 2008 case? That’ll be cheap! Hahahaha
Good luck with the 106” and 114” for staying together! Haha
I guess my impression was it’s a 2008 rubbermount street bike. Have fun funding anything more than a 90” on a a rubbermount. You should quote him haha

You need to stop drinking and come out of your hole... There's more one company that can build an XL......
Haha , there sure is! I never stated there was only one. Lots of companies, guys and parts. I merely stated my opinion!
Sorry, but blurting about a 106 and 114 inch in a 2008 rubbermount is pathetic. He even stated hed rather pass on an 88 or 90 because he wants to do most of the work.

Desperation is a stinky cologne
How it the work any different going from 88 to 106? As far as I know its simply a crank replace and buy different pistons/cylinders to get deck height correct.. I guess you might need to mod the frame but motor wise?
