Big Bore or Heads
While waiting for my now delayed Rocker to arrive, I started "Jonesing" on not riding.
So off I went to Eagle Rider and rented a nice new Heritage. My last air cooled bike
was an Ultre classic with Rineharts K&N and PC and I gotta tell ya it would have
STOMPED the sh*t out of that Heritage. So besides similar improvements on the
Rocker, what else would you spend $ on if your budget allowed either Big Bore or Head work?

RE: Big Bore or Heads
Me, I would start with the big bore kit. Get that out of the way first. Head work IMHO should be left till after you have selected the cam, intake and pipes. So any work done can take advantage of those parts. Do the big bore kit last and it might change the results of any head work you have done first.
Many years agoin Hot Rod magazine they had a cartoon called Stroker MaGerk who had a dictum that went, "the only way to beat cubic inches is with more cubic inches".

I did my heads/cams/exhaust, and am still running the stock 88 cubes/compression. She runs like a raped ape!
