Default New Harley Owner w/engine question

Hey guys, I recently bought my first Harley and I cant believe I ever rode anything else. I bought a 2009 Rocker C with only 9000 miles on it. It is in mint condition with no problems or visible flaws. It has lots of custom extras including the Heartland Rear fender and seat kit. It also has a Vance and Hines Street Sweepers and a screaming eagle street performance tuner on it with a big breather on it. I am considering putting a 103 or a 110 engine on it but don't know if there is any room or fit problems. Does anyone have any advice for me?
Respectfully
Nick Carbonia

I'm sure the most savvy of people could make it work, but my question to you is why? The engine is hardly broken in yet and you want to swap it? If you got that kinda dough just get a 2017 M8.

You don't need to swap out the engine if you want increased displacement.

Have a look at some of the kits from S & S

First off; welcome to the forum.


**Edited**

After reading "Dribble's" response I realized that my comment was exactly the type of comment that I hate and that is one that doesn't answer the question but rather one that renders an opinion.

Sorry I can't help you with fitment.

Also just a suggestion; if you want more responses spread your question/comment out so as to make it easier to read.
Running all your sentences together makes it difficult to read and a lot of forum members will just move on rather than decipher your comment.

I spaced your comment out in the above quote as an example.
Again welcome to the forum.

Ride Safe!!!!

In answer to your question. If you decide to do that there are no fitment problems. it's the same engine with a different bore and stroke.

Taking your engine up to 103 or 110 you can have some cams installed to get what you are looking for. Keep in mind HD just got burned by the EPA concerning some of their tuners. Good luck on your project.

Yes you can.
I'm assuming your not going to do it yourself just the way i took your post?

The harley shop is not the place to have it done IMO especially after this epa thing....... you will get better performance for your money elsewhere most likely.

Either find the best independent shop local to you. Do a lot of research before making a decision.

Call someone like Hillside cycle and discuss what you want and send to them for the work. I've read enough good things about them along with meeting a guy in Austin who said they did his motor who let me take his scoot for a spin. I know if i was going to get a serious build done thats who i'd use.

If your going to spend that kind of geetus go 110 i'm no motor expert but i've ridden both and the 110 is noticeably better IMO you don't need a dyno to know.

A 110 for sure but a 113 will hit the gas tank...

Sorry

Instead of putting motor in. Do a 107 Have your heads set up for the cams you want. Depends on your riding style lots of choices of cams.Also you will get more bang for your buck....Go to the engine forum on this site and you will find some good info and some guys that will guide you and also sell you whay you need.You also have to find a good person to do the tunning that can make or break a build also, I do know of one in wis.
