Default Engine build

I own a 2007 Roadglide that had a stock engine but had it built to a 103. If Iwant to go to say a 110 or 117 could I using the same crank and bottom end?

You can get 110 slip-ins but thats as far as you can go without ripping apart the bottom end.

To be clear, going larger than 110" means splitting the cases and having them bored for the larger diameter cylinder spigots. Consider crank work while you have it torn down if you go this route.

You can use the OEM crank, but it needs a "tune up".
Have one on the dyno currently.
