Default 106 build

Same numbers we see up this way, on various dyno's. Same combo.

No need to excuse someone for asking questions.
The build was this;
Our Stage IV(not Stage III) 2" valve heads
Bob Wood TW-9B cams, .630" lift.
He had an S&S 106" cyl kit, but have seen the same with our 107" Wiseco's as well.
He had the Mikuni, ignition, pipe.
S&S Roller rockers are needed, as is a VPC 92T/Barnett clutch spring.
Once cam clearence had been established/checked, and spring pack/roller rocker arm clearing as well, the rest is as simple as a bone-stock assembly. Can be done at home, with the purchase of some specialty tools.

I was searching around to see what was out there and ran across a pod cast on the revperf cylinders. they are 107 fit the stock cases, and are three times thick then the competitors. They also have a low tension rings which reduces drag. The plating on the cylinders makes them harder and lasts longer. dont know about you guys but Im going to rev perf for my rebuild when Im ready.

The list goes on. I miss my HD 95 so very badly. Some idiot (not me) put stock cam bearings in with my SE211 cams... Ran like a bat outa hell for 28K miles, till the bearing disintegrated & filled my motor with tiny pieces of very hard metal... I've regretted the 106 decision every time I've ridden that bike since. I hate it and can't wait until it blows up again. The WORST $5000 I've EVER spent.
Of course, that's just my opinion....
I've got a 99 FXDWG with over 75,000 miles on the frame. I loved the 88ci motor but I LOVED it even MORE after punching it up to 95ci. Cheap, easy, dependable, QUICK... God I miss that motor!!!!
I need some feed back please. I just had my 95 build torn down to find out that the flywheel had .008 runout. My Extended Warrenty will not cover so the re-build is out of my pocket. The flywheel has been trued but now I am not sure if I want to go back 95. my Stage III 95 is pushing SAE 111HP/116TQ but I think thats mainly the cams and head work. I wonder can I add my cams and heads to these jugs and pistons and get bigger and badder??
