Exactly! If you're really worried that you can't rebore stock jugs larger than 107" with an overbore then you're not thinking straight. Just keep your bike stock if you're that worried about it. If... and that's a big if... that day ever comes I'm boring the cases, having the crank welded and trued and going to a 117" or larger... maybe 124". Hell, who am I kidding, I may do that next winter anyway.

It's not that I'm not thinking straight, maybe I'm not, but to just throw away cylinders for no real reason other than wanting an extra 4 ci seems silly. But I guess I'm in the minority here.

If you're seriously looking for black/silver keep an eye on Ebay. I've bought several sets and never paid over $75 usually less. I've got a set of like new silver takeoffs I'd let go for $75 + shipping.
