Eventually I want to go up to 107", but a friend of mine is an Indy and builds a lot of hopped up Harleys. He has had no problems with stock cranks up to 103", but at 107" he has had a few scissor. Granted these bikes were beat on, but I am leaning toward a built bottom end. If I do that, I might as well go BIG (?) cu in!

If I did it over again I would do big bore and cams at the same time. Probably a 107 and some 777’s. The bike is still has plenty of giddy up and is fun to ride but nothing wrong with a little more.
