Default Looking at another Harley and need some advise.

Okay, so I have my 90 plus HP 1998 883/1200 conversion. Just got my 06 SB back from the shop for a complete rebuild...cams, pistons, heads and 95 inch jugs.

Now I have ran across a 1998 Fatboy, one owner, 20,000 miles, Vivid Black, Bassoni Tru Dual Xhaust...Nice bike.

So what can be done to a 1340 cc, 80 inch motor? I understand the bikes will/should be faster than the newer EFI.

Any 80 to 85-88 inch kits available.

Local HD Tech said he could milled the deck, change pistons and EV27 Cams.

So what do ya think?





Thanks

Karsten
