Default 95" upgrade 4 my 88tc

Went in to the dealer today, it is now in pieces, I sent the heads to Zippers, they look great, but they forgot to drill them for the comp. release. It was recommended because they were goin out anyway. I'll have to call mon. They finally got my parts in, 95" kit, w/ 255 cams, hyd. cam chain tensioner, oil pump, heads decked, w/ street port/polish. Going in the 04 Ultra with duals, pythons,big sucker & the PC-3 Hoping it comes home soon with a little more Zip!!!!!
After the breakin, its off for a tune & i'll show the ##'s

Well, here it comes, they say the 95 kit is back ordered, that they have to get the parts from other dealers, & now he's crying about the shipping charges!!! I told him we have an agreement in writing!!! Hope he doesn't try to hold my bike hostage!!!

You'll love the "new" bike when your build is complete. I did the SE BB w/203's last winter and have enjoyed my "new" '06 Ultra this year.

I know its not my money,but i would suggest not to make too many waves on the shiping charges especially if the guy who is doing the build is very good.If you have to pay a couple of extra dollars for that i would just pay it.

Central florida. Its an04 ultra, SE 95" kit ,swapping the cams for the 255 indtead of the 203's, the SE cam chain tensioners w/ hiflow oil pump, & had my heads sent to zippers , decked .030 & got the mild street port. they sent out the heads while waiting for parts, went in monday to check & the svc. mgr said the 95 kit was backordered, that the parts had to be gotten from all over, & he was complaining about paying the shipping charges... i was quoted for the pts,labor & tax out the door $1,704.12 !! As long as they don't hold my bike hostage & try to squeeze me for more $$ it's a great deal!!!!
