Those cylinders are for big twins, not Sportster. Won't fit.

A big twin from '99 was 1340cc, so I don't see how that ad makes any sense. Unless you want to make it a smaller motor.

I meant "you" in a general sense. I realize what you have in mind, it's just that someone is advertising 1200 parts for a motor that is already 1340.
I had an 883 in 1987, really wished I had the means to convert it to a 1200. Good luck in your search.

1340cc is for the 80" EVO.
OP is looking at 88" Twinkie which is 1450cc.
OP needs to look ONLY at 1200CC sporty engine parts.
