I put together my own 107" kit. I bought the pistons, had the cylinders bored and the heads done by a local shop. I went with TMan-555 cams already had the S&S header and PCV tuner. The price was comparable with the big shops, but I had the pleasure of doing it the I wanted. Either way you can't go wrong.

MOCO's kit is 92500039, $975 from Boardtracker HD, S&S had one out but MOCO said it infringed on their patent, they're supposed to have a new kit out around FEB. You might still be able to get one in Canada, I think the patent only cover US. They bolt in with no case bore, MOCO kit uses Mahle pistons & S&S was using CP-Carillo pistons.

Pieced my kit together as well . You can get 110 barrels that fit the stock spigot holes and not require case machining. If piecing a kit together figure out what type of riding you do and the rpm ranges your in 90% of the time That will determine what cams you run and compression ratio.

got any facts to support your statement about it being a waste of money to port heads with true duals? A very experienced tuner told me that the few ponies left on the table wouldn't be missed between a 2/1 to 2/2...he had nothing to gain by me buying either system...told me to buy what I liked

96” to 107 mild would be a great upgrade, Hell I put a 103HO stock in my 07 FLHTC and the difference is very good, I can’t imagine what a 107 would’ve been. I would do the most reliable power I could that I could afford.

My first question is who is doing the assembly work? If it's you then I would have a good shop bore the existing jugs and get the pistons and rings with the ring gap set from the same shop. This way you have a good idea the bores are correct. Buying a kit you MUST check the jugs and you will need a torque fixture to properly measure the bores with a bore gauge.

DTTJGlide, I will look into this. I only want to barrel up once and have not explored the MOCO kit..

I had my stock jugs bored from 96 to 107 and got a matched piston kit. Came out to be less than half the cost of kits available at the time. I used the savings on head work and S&S easy start cams. Running stock headers with Rinehart style slip ons. I'm sure I'm not getting every last horsepower with this but I easily beat 106 Victory bikes. :-) I'm approaching 25k miles on this setup and it's never given me any grief.
