Default Which Big Bore kit for my 2004 FLSTCI
I'm going to do some engine mods to my Heritage and have heard a lot of good stuff about both a Harley big bore kit with 203 cams, and the S&S 96" big bore kit. Has anyone dealt with either? I know I'll be using a pcIII, and new thunderheader exhaust. Was wondering which way to go?

I did a Head Quarters HQ95st complete kit on mine and couldn't be happier. Might check them out.

Out of the two choices listed the S&S is a better kit. there is nothing wrong with the Harley kit, S&S is just a better choice IMO.

I sent my cylinders out to be bored out and my heads worked instead of buying any of the kits. Price was right and the performance very good. However, I would agree with the HQ95st vs. HD or S&S if you want the kit.

I just had mine done with the big bore kit. Big difference - even if I haven't had it opened up yet (just breaking it in).
