Why not go for the overkill, then you can rebuild your drivetrain every year when you start hearing strange noises. Turn that decker into a drag bike! Big cubes deserve the biggest throttle body. A pro built stroker and throttle body will cost ya a WHOLE LOT more than a HD big bore.

I am a simple man who lives out in the sticks in Walker Basin, CA. Welcome to the forum.

I need a translator to decipher your words but I am trying.

Sounds like a good project. For head work, click on the link to the right that says Street Heads. Get the phone # and call.

Have a great ride when you get it finished.

From what I know, Problem with 113 kit is it needs to be machined, so you need to know the expertise of the person doing it. It is not just assemble.

That makes me nervous. That is one of the reasons I did not get it.

Going to a real big bore that requires the machining of the engine cases is not the end of the world. That is a direction Iam thinking as I do not want to increase my stroke. 95"/98" is as far as you can go without breaking open the cases. Iam going with the biggest bore possible while leaving the stock stroke.
The longer the stroke the higher the piston speed. The higher the piston speed the faster you wear out the rings.
Not sure what kind of performance your looking for, but you will never make a rice rocket out of a Harley.............UNLESS

1) You got a ton of money
2) Don't mind a rebuild every riding season

If you answer yes to both those question, don't stop till your atleast at 124"
