Do yourself a huge favor and do plenty of research, there are simple things you can do to 95" and/or 98" builds that will get ya a LOT more, for a LOT LESS!!!!

Ditto! you could get 100+Hp/100+Tq from a 95" build, and still be ahead of the game. And for a LOT less money!!!!

RE: 110" Big Bore build...

I've been researching the whole subject for quite a while. I have to agree that I can get the 100+100 from a 95". For the type riding I do, long distance and lots of it, the 95" should be enough. But if the price is right, you never know. I've got to weigh the cost vs gain. I already told them that I'll have to test ride a 110" conversion before I jump into that one. I really don't want so much power in a bagger that you can't keep the rear end hooked up.

The only thing required to keep the rear tire hooked up is having a thick enough wire between your brain and right hand

RE: 110" Big Bore build...

I will be curious how it goes! I am waiting for delivery of my 2007 FLHRC. It should be in within the next week or two. I am having the 110 kit installed right away (110 kit, SERT, maybe V&H True Duals) along with a tour seat and tour pack. With the NH winter rapidly approaching, and my insurance going into "off season mode" on 12/1, I may not be able to ride the bike until spring!

I am chomping at the bit waiting for the ride!

I hear ya'. We've got a serv.mgr./tuner that really knows how to build strong motor. He built up a Road King for one of the guys last spring that literally spun the rear tire on the rim. He's built a couple last summer that will hold the front wheel in 3rd. I don't need that much juice. Just enough to "get away"! LOL!!

RE: 110" Big Bore build...

I read a magazine review of one of the 110CI (stock) SE bikes. They ran it on the dyno & found it had less than 100 hp. Forgot the torque values. I suspect it could be a fire breathing monster with the right heads, etc., but not as a stock machine.

Depends on how much power you want, how much you value braggin' rights & how deep your pockets are!

The cardinal rule for Horsepower is how fast do you want to go & can you afford it!!!
