107 Big Bore Kit
Is it necessary to do bottom end work on a 2002 Electra Glide Classic in addition to purchasing any of the 107 big bore kits. The 2002 model year has a better crank than later year models, along with a timken bearing, and about 6,000 miles on the bike. 10:1 or lower compression is the target goal. No racing, or whole shots, wheelies, etc., occasionaly I may be inclined to get on the throttle while on the highway, but I don beat on my bikes. I am looking to take future long distance trips with friends that have larger displacement motors, and I dont want to be struggling to keep up.

Was it a typo or did you say you have an 02 model? If so, then you have the 88 c.i. The fuel moto 107 build wont work. If you do a FM build you will be doing their 98". The crank should be sturdy enough but you might have them take a look at the cam chain tensioners. If they do the work at their shop they will definitely do everything necessary to get you going right. They will not half *** the job. As others have stated though. Just give them a call and ask. They are great people to work with. Good luck on your build and happy riding.

Your '02 88" has a shorter stroke than 96" & 103" motors. So, yes ya will have to change the crank & rods or bore the cases and replace the cylinders to get over 98". A proper 95"-98"build will run with most 103"- 107"s.

Call FM and look at their kits, talk to Jamie and ask some questions. http://www.fuelmotousa.com/site/98-inch-big-bore.html
