I'm gonna toss a name out there and see what sticks:
Revolution Performance
Not specifically because I think they're quality (I have no experience in that regard), but only because I'm wondering how their quality has been lately. I know back about 10 years ago there was a HUGE scare over their product from one of their vendors using the wrong rings for nikasil, but I haven't heard any doom and gloom from them in a while.
Anyone care to chime in on it?

Suburban does two different 120 Mahle piston for the 107, here https://suburbanharley.com/Parts-Catalog-M8-Pistons
Peace.

Wow! Thank you! Those look like exactly like what I'm looking for. A set of those at 11.0 to 1.0 mated to a pair of S&S cylinders may be just the ticket.

Do these aftermarket cylinders compensate with more cooling fin area the increase in heat generated from a larger displacement? Can one cruise the larger than stock engines for miles on end at 90 and above on a hot day like that so common in the west.

I used this kit from FM. It comes with wiseco black edition pistons, The kit comes in at 10.75CR according to FM with stock cc heads. Rings come pre-gapped so pretty straight forward installation.

Yes I'm probably getting a set at 120 on a set of 114 barrels, I don't think you can push the 114's out to 124 or if you do there's a sealing issue not sure 120 or 124 all the same to me either way.Probably keeping a stock cam too as I like the power curve the way it is.
Peace.

Using the stock cam will give you cylinder pressures in the 240 psi range. Stock pressures on the 114" motor are around 225 psi. I don't know if that will present a problem or not.
