Running a bigger stroke and less compression is the direction I'm thinking, it will have torque to pull loaded and won't need the rpm's.

That 95" is known as best bang for the buck and popular but ride with many 103's and a good motor. 103 with 9.5 compression and Andrews version of the the EV27 for a Twinkie is a win win.

You can find takeout 103's all over the place.
Found 3 in Texas alone for 1800.00 each with 1-2k mi.

I was replacing a 96 in a 08 ultra last year

Buying a takeout 103 you don't know how well the bottom end was put together.


Going the Darkhorse route Bagger will know he has a great motor that he knows the bottom end is done right.


Darkhorse will do the crank work, line bore and lap the cases, do the crank bearing and also make sure the bearing bore is right.
