Default (Buget??) big bore for 96"

I'm lookin at doing a bikeman performance Buget big bore kit. ( Buget big bore ??) looks like wicked power gains for the price http://bikemanperformance.com/harley/96-twin-cam.html

Anyone running one of thies kits? How much $, how much hp? What else is there for good power gains with out dropping 5 grand? I got a 08 night train w/ stage 1 (se super tuner already)

If you're doing big bore, don't stop at 103"... since it is mostly a wash (bore and pistons needed regardless), take it to 107" and you'll be way more satisfied with the upgrade. You can go to 107" without needing to do the bottom end.

I've recently done so thanks to Hillside, and while I'm still breaking it in I can tell you that the difference is night and day.

Good luck!
Roger

I put together a 107 upgrade for my motor this winter. I shopped for deals over a few months prior and got pistons, freshly bored jugs, woods cams, HQ lifters, Smith bros adjustable pushrods, SE cnc ported heads, cometic mls head gaskets, new pushrod covers, Vpc clutch, 30t trans pulley, and all the o-rings and gaskets for the job for a little over 1500 bucks. All new parts except for the Vpc clutch and clutch spring, which had a couple hundred miles on them. If you've got a good plan, and you're patient, you can save significantly.

Do some searching on these forums and use one of the sponsors. You got 3 good suggestions already and plenty of people who have done these builds for comparison ..I wouldn't call those prices budget either.oh yeah, take that bad boy to 107

We offer several different levels of 107"ers, from tame performance kits, to street scorchers.
