Default Eng mod for trike

Have a 06 UC and we're going to trike it with a CSC kit. I will have to do some type of engine upgrade. Will the Stage II, 95" kit to the trick? should I go to 103" 113"?????

what all should I do???

dealer says 85" with cams....also I have SE pipes now and I think they're too loud but dealer said I will have to have some type of open exhaust, I would like true duals to relieve the heat issue, but I don't want too loud of a exhaust.....any sugguestions?????

Default RE: Eng mod for trike

I build Lehman Trikes, and the additional weight and driveline requirements strain the 88" motor a little, but it's enough to notice.....

We normally do a 95", Stage II (SE 203 cams) to an FL / Renegade conversion.....

Quite nice in the bottom end, and really useful when pulling a trailer.....

As far as exhaust, use the mufflers that you want....

If the SE's are too loud, then revert back to the stockers, except use 2 left mufflers (88), as you don't want or need the converter....

The 95 Stage II Box kit comes with a new Left muffler that is cat equipped, but that is Stage I, you are running a Race flash, I presume...

FWIW, the CSC kit still has not gotten it's DOT certification.....
