Default 883/1200 conversion

ok everyone that has done this can you please give your opinion and what you did to me.....im totally confused as how to go about this.........i can just do pistons and bore cyclinders....but then should i use 9:5:1 or 10:1...gas i s not an issue around here......but if i do the 10:1 it opens more options like....cams...ign.....new heads or head work.....i want to keep reliabilty and longevity....i am not looking to race...but i just need to be able to pass cars when im doing 60........and i want to give those big bikes a WOW thats a sportster kinf odf attitude lol
