Default tc88b upgrade

I'm looking into upgrading my stock 88b to a S&S 106" with a S&S Super e carb. Do I need to change any cams or any other parts to help compensate this increase?

S&S don't make a 106" kit for that engine, unless you also intend changing the crankshaft, but they do make 95/97/98" kits. You will get more performance for your investment if you change cams as well. If you plan doing this work yourself it sounds as if you should find yourself a local S&S stockist and talk through with them what you want of your bike. S&S make several suitable cams and matching them to CR plus one of their kits is something you will be wise to work through with a suitable tech.

thanks for the replies. I did find out that the company had the fitment listed wrong. they have since fixed it. The 106'' is from '07 and up. looks like i'll be shooting for a 98".
