05 Ultra Classic
I have been thinking about doing a big bore to my 05 Ultra Classic. As it sits now the only thing that i have done is stage 1 AC, Andrews 21 cams,slip-ons and power commander with a dyno tune. Had 1 indy say I need to weld and true the crank and another to say not to worry about it. What do yall think?

No need to split the case and go into the bottom end if just going up from the 88 ci to the 95 ci.
I have a bit over 10k miles on my 95 cubic incher in my 2004 and did it all in frame. Runs fantastic and don't regret it for a second.

I have an 05 Ultra that I bought new and very soon after the bike was broken in did a stage 1 which definitely helped but the bike needed more power. I was working a lot of hours, commuting into NYC and didn't have a lot of free time for riding. In December of 2012 I decided to have the big bore kit done at Rosa's Cycle Shop in Huntington N.Y.
Andrew, the owner, asked me what I was looking for, what my long term plans for the bike were. Was I interested in keeping it for a while or did I think I'd want to get something newer with some of the newer features like ABS. I thought it was odd that he was asking me these questions at first, but after I realized he was trying to figure out what the best solution/build would be right for me.
I told him I was planning on keeping the bike, wanted more usable power in the mid range. He recommended going with a 98" motor using CP Pistons, Woods TW5-G cams, Gear Drive, his own stage 3 CNC flowed heads and Dyno tune. Andrew said that this is one of his tried and trued builds that he's had great success with and...
All I can say is....WOW. The bike is like night and day after the big bore kit. Couldn't be happier with the results and the work they performed at Rosa's!!
I'm not sure if you're planning on doing the work yourself, or having someone do it for you, but I would recommend, like has been said thousands of times on this forum, make sure all the components of the build work together and I think you'll be happy!!

I have an '06, same interest, except stock cam. I have heard good things about Rosa's, but that Andrew can be a little difficult to deal with.

I didn't find him hard to deal with. It was December, and very cold when I dropped my bike off. They told me it would take about a week, and that's what it took. I also was ready to pull the trigger and considered him the expert, so I didn't question him about the package he was recommending. He told me I'd be very happy with the results based on my reuest for more mid range power, and I was and still am!!
By the way, I'm in no way connected to Rosa's or Andrew. Actually, I do all my own maintenance myself, but for something like this, I'd rather have someone with all the right tools and experience do the work for my own piece of mind.
