Default upgrade with high milage

Hey all, long time no post. So im looking into doin a hammer performance 1250 kit to an 883, aiming for 90 hp as they explain on their 883 conversion page. My questio is this: is this a bad idea on a sportster with just over 50k miles on it? Is that just to much for a drive train with this milage?

Well, I would say no, but if you're really uncertain, why not ask the guys at Hammer?

I just finished a Hammer rebuild on mine at 92,000 miles (specs in my sig), so I would say you should be fine. But, if your looking for 90 HP, I think you'll need headwork and cams to go with the 1250 kit.
