RE: 883 conversion
Remember Jason, it's essentially a new engine. Same breakin speeds/RPMS as a new bike apply. You'll want to roll the throttle but try to resist. Get some nice pipes and get the SE AC and rejet to about 180/45. With the 883 gears and Stage 1 1200cc engine.......Hold on tight Bro. That sucker will haul some a$$.

SE 10:1 pistons
pins, springs etc.
gaskets for cylinders and heads
buell 1200 cylinders
dynojet carb kit (new spring, needle, andjets)
OIL and FILTER
AROUND $1200 BUCKS for the Dealer
Cheaper if you do it yourself.

RE: 883 conversion
Yup, it's gonna scream.
I don't hear much talk about the difference in gears between the 883 and 1200 models. The 883s are geared lower so a 1200 conversion is gonna be quicker than a factory 1200. Not faster, but quicker which is where it will count in every day stoplight to stoplight driving.

RE: 883 conversion
Its a priced together thing.
I wanted the conversion but keeping the bike reliable and road worthy not a race only bike.
They quoted me $1500 at first but if you know your dealer well you can get them to come down a little depending on how busy they are.
I let the dealer do it because the work will still be covered under my warranty.
That also includes labor.

RE: 883 conversion
I did my Sportster last year. 1200 conversion + stage 1 and dyno tune = 65 horse power.
I'm telling ya the thing can do wheelies.
Price.
$1000 for 1200 conversion
$350 stage 1
$220 dyno tune
