My thoughts exactly for the original build, but had a few people confirm the 26's should be good. Now with the builder suggesting the larger build (see last post) he strongly recommends the TW50/55 or (after some machine work on the inner bearing holes) the HQ540 cam that comes with the 107" kit.
My only other worry is tuning. He only uses a Digital Link and will not touch anything else. Not a problem, just what to keep my options open. I guess once its tuned thats it, right! Just tune and forget.
Having to learn lots here as big builds aren't that common in these parts.

Anyone using the 107" in a Softail?

Well, I didn't see anything about your exhaust or adding O2 sensors. I would do that and go with a ThunderMax or other complete replacement ECM that has autotune. You should still get a dyno and get a perfect map for a nice build like yours, however. The autotune will keep you in tune no matter the altitude or the temperature, however. I'm not familiar with Digital Link so I may be covering old ground for you.
Don't know what the mods you plan on cost in the UK, but I would think you'ld be better off trading up for something a little newer. It ain't just the cost, it's the little problems & hassles that pop up along the way in a drastic rebuild such as what you're planning.
