Default 96" to 110" Conversion Question

Here is a question to those of you that have gone with the Screamin' Eagle 110" Stage I Big Bore kit. I'm thinking of it being this winters project. Do you like it and why? Would you do it again? Would you do anything different? Thanks for your input.

I avoided it. Do a search- it's been known to be a problem child. The o-ring that is used at the base of the cylinders weeps, and it has blown head gaskets in the past. If I were you, I'd consider a different build.

Rusty I hate to say this but.....

Honestly this section of the forum isnt the best place for "Motorhead-Talk". Short of a few members like that dude Beau above me here and a few others who have been banned or jumped ship....

Dunno why but as a whole especially this section is really more into shiny trinkets, lowering kits, paint, seats, rims, yada-yada...

I hope admin dosent trip on me but if you really wanna talk motors with greasy dudes who know there chit and aint so interested in shiny, pretty things?
