05 Deluxe 95 build
A close friend just got his first Harley a 2005 Deluxe and he asked me about the 95 big bore. Long story short he has no money got divorced and his X beat his wallet bad. He picked this bike up (his first bike) it has 54,000 miles has python staggered exhaust an S&S super E. Got the bike for $4800.
I have a set of 15000 mile 103 cylinders he wants which I have no problem giving him. I also am going to give him my old 09 96 heads. His bike has a set of cams already installed and I assume there too big because the low to mid range is terrible? He already bought a set of used but almost new SE 95 flat top pistons. He bought the Dyna TC88 ignition module and I have a set of brand new HD rings. He also picked up a Cometic 0.030 head gasket. I suggested depending on what cams he has in there already a set of Andrews 48s or SE 204s.

Better to bore your buddy's cylinders to fit the new/used 95" pistons. Without measuring piston fitment to the 103 cylinders, in torque plates, fitment could be out of spec; the piston to cylinder wall fitment spec is very tight for the SE cast piston, like .0006"-.0015" IIRC. Rings need to be gapped to those new/used pistons as well. Using the later heads is a good idea; the '05 heads had valve guides seal issues which can be addressed but the later heads do flow better. With the flat top pistons, a .030: head gasket should be included in the top end build and the 48 cams a better choice than the 204s IMHO.

Also any jetting suggestions on the super E its not one of my favorite carbs I like the CV better. I actually have a good CV 40 should I convince him to put that on instead?
The current cams installed seem to be SE211s and I only say this because it idles real lopey and would explain the loss of low and mid range.

Thanks DJ, I will have him bring the cylinders with the heads then when he gets the valve job done. I pulled the heads when I did my 103 to put 2015 103 heads on because I wanted the ACRs.
