Screaming Eagle has the kit to go from an 88 to a 103. The link below is for a 06 RKC.

No problem...I'm sure there are other kits out there. Do a search on this site and you might find some better info.

YOU WILL HAVE TO SPLIT THE CASES. MAKE SURE YOUR TECH KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING.

If you have your mind set on the SE deal, go for it. But, you might want to check out a 98" kit from either http://www.gmrperformance.com/Twin_C...e_Packages.htmor http://www.head-quarters.com/. With a 98" kit you will not have to split the cases, and the difference in HP and Torq may not be that much. Do a little research on www.nightrider.com .

I did the upgrade from 88 to 103, split the cases; long story short, after two rebuilds and seven trips back to dealer for leaks, traded bike for an '08...won't touch that one! (at least for a while!)

If you have to split cases go big! 113 or better!
