Understood. Surely there is a shop in Canada capable of the case work including installling the crank?

No doubt, but really, unless it's a local shop, the shipping costs will be insane, even within the country. If I decide to go ahead with a stroker crank, I think I'll be fine without an increase in bore.

Thanks for the advice.

Cheers!

Give Black Horse Cycles in Leamington a call at 519-818-1157

I am not sure if his shop does bikes as modern as yours, but they are aces with older motors. I know their sister shop does modern bikes, maybe Adam does as well.

Worth a call and seems fairly local to you. Good luck.

Yeah, that would rock, but covid and all the BS involved with border crossings now, makes that an impossible option at this time.

Cheers!

You might try the following two shops if you don't mind travelling to the Toronto area:
Brian Olsen Racing Services 647-284-4321 Georgetown,ON
"Stay Tuned" Don Morris 905-679-2237 Mt. Hope, ON (just outside of Hamilton,ON)
Brian and his son just finished rebuilding my 2014 Ultra and also rebuilt my 2005 Road King a few years back. Highly recommend this shop.
Don Morris did the dyno tune on my 2014 and will be re-tuning the fresh rebuild in the spring of 2022. He does machine work also and comes highly recommended.
If you need more info PM me
