Hey guys. Im looking at an S&S 106 kit part no.106-3760 for my 09 classic. heard something about bad pistons with certain kits. is this kit ok to have, thanks.

 

while I can't answer you question as I am looking to do a 107 or 110 kit. when I do I am going to contact hillside, veetwin or FM as I believe they sell their kits already checked and ready to install. s&s may do as well but I can't confirm.
good luck!

 

ere may have been a few problems at one time but I believe they are ironed out.
That said, our HMM#1070 Wiseco/Cometic 107" Big Bore kits, boring your cyls, with ring gaps set, and rings installed on the pistons is still only $650.00.

so..i would need to send you a set of jugs. if so, i'll have to find a used set of jugs so I don't have any down time until I get ready to do the install.
can you pm me a list of what comes in your kit.
I will be contacting you soon to discuss this and other build questions/options.


thanks

 

Pretty sure Scott does a cam upgrade to the bore and pistons for $1k.. Yea then theres the heads and next thing you know you got quite the power band.....

 

Last several of these S&S kits I have done come with everything gapped and checked from them. Always good practice to check yourself.


I set up 105 kits for about $400. Lots a different ways to build power.

 

Very important point made right here

 

Happy to help when you are ready!
Scott

 

thanks scott.
it was good speaking with you concerning my build. I look forward to working with you.

 

True professional work and advice. Just finished putting 107 cylinders stage 2 heads Andrews 57 cams 58mm throttle body from Scott. Did heat cycles last cpl days. Drove it to work today. Talk about smooth. Only been up to 2500 gently It pulls pretty good. Can’t imagine wide open. Just did new ve table run after work still have to load into the bike. Now to save up some pennies for Dyno tune in a cpl months.
