Default Big bore

Well went up today and talked thing's over with the shop and it looks like I'll be riding a Big Bore this next summer. Still have to pick out the cam's. Other then that Damm I wish it would warm up so I could take it up and get started.

I am in the process of getting a 95 Big Bore on my 05 Wide Glide...going with the 211 cams, and not the 257's. Also had them do the Diamond Etched heads. Can't wait to see the dyno numbers

Yea I know what you mean Once I figure out which cam to go with and see what the numbers end up being . Looking for more of a torque set-up then a high HP machine.

Oh yea. As good as my dealer is it would cost more then I could swing right now to have them do it . The independent shop that I'm going to have do mine is very good, he used to work for S&S and he knows what he's doing said it would run about $1200 for the big bore and cam's.

Towpro,

I am having my dealer do the work. These guys have been around motorcycles since they were kids. The dad actually started the busines a long time ago. They have built some great powerhouses (with Harley & Non-Harley parts)....
