I'm no expert but I think 103 is out without doing a stroker crank so if you do that go 107....I think the way to go without having to split the cases is to go to a 96 c.i. since your bike is an 01 it has the better lower end (crank/bearings) I'd just do the piston jug swap to a 96 an have the heads done.

Need a stroker crank and stroker pistons. 95" and 103" have the same bore. The stroker pistons have the pin bore located in a different location.

88" bored out = 95"

Stroker crank bored to 88" bore = 96"

Stroker crank bored to 95" bore = 103"

Isn't there a 98 kit available. Also may want to look up the HIPPO build. There was a thread not long ago where a forum member basically did a budget hippo build.

S & S makes a 100 inch kit for the 88 that just involves the pistons and jugs. Don't of anyone that has used this kit or what kind of results you can expect.

Would also recommend that if you going with a big bore kit you should also get the heads ported to take full advantage of the bore kit.
