Default T/C 103 Max bore?
What's the max that a stock T/C 103 jug can be bored out to?

110 but not by boring your own, have to buy the cylinders & pistons from S&S or H.D.

But he DID specify the stock 103" jug. Max bore is, I believe, 3.938", which is a bit less than 107".

Thank you. So Just for curiosity sake, What would cost les boring to the max or getting an S&S or similar 110 bolt on?

I'm pretty sure there are vendors on the forum who can bore your jugs and supply pistons for them quite a bit more cheaply than the 110" kit would cost. Maybe some of them will ring in with some estimates for you.

​​​​​​Yes he DID but it's good to have options, just letting him know he can indeed go bigger than 107.
I wouldn't, I'm more than happy with my strong 106 but different people want different things

Bore to 107" will be quite a bit less than the 110 jugs.

Personally, save the money for those 3 inches.

Our #HMM1070 107" Big Bore Kits, boring the OE cylinder, with a complete Cometic top end gasket set, ring end gaps set, and installed, in either flat top, or 6cc domes, are still only $675.00!
Not made in China.
