Stroker means that somone increased the stroke on your motor. That's really expensive to do. Strocker's will have a lot of torque, but they won't be able to rev very high.

stock bore 3.50 inches stock stroke 3.13/16 inches in fact . This means that a stock sportster motor is already stroked as they say. If you had a longer stroked motor you would know it . There would be tons of torque. Maybe a 1250 kit ..Mark...
