I am going to install Andrews TW26 cams next week in my 1999 Road King. I am also going with a Mikuni 42 carb. Should I do the 95" pistons or not? What kind of numbers are you getting w/ 88 or 95? If I go w/ the 95" kit which pistons?

 

If you can definetly do the 95, I used the SE flat tops with a .030 cometic gasket. No dyno #'s but the seat of pants dyno will make you smile

If you go 95", stock heads, and the 26 cams..............you'll probably be around 85-90 on both hp and torque. And if you are going to do the 95", you might as well send your heads off to be ported/polished and have them cc'ed and milled for equal compression and bump it up a bit also. Check out www.bigboyzcycles.com and give Bean a call..............he'll do your heads for $395 and bore your cylinders for $130 to accept the SE flattops, he can also supply you with the Cometic .030 head gaskets.

Flat top or cast 10.25 to 1 pistons? Which would work better w/ my setup?

 

Flattops............the 26's like around 9.5-1 for a CR.

I have them.

 

Did you go with big bore kit or stay 88". Are you pleased w/ the results?

 

I'm still at 88". Yes, I am pleased.

 

I believe I will go with the 95" flat top cast pistons. I plan on having it done last week of the month.

thanks

 

Hi Steve,
Bangor's gettinga chilly ride in the mornings. I'm trading my 06 RK for an 08 Ultra.The new 96" motors don't seem to put out likean 88" w/ the big bore kits and 203 cams. I'm wonderingabout how to get the most umph for the buck without knocking my mileage intothe dirt.

Considering a 103" kit for about $1500. Suggestions?

Thanks, Bud
