98" FM build?

Has anyone done this build? Want to upgrade my 06 ultra classic and am leaning in this direction.

I guess everyone who has done this build is out riding and enjoying it. Maybe i'll try again tonight when everyone gets home.

I did the 98" FM build on my 03 Heritage Springer. Search for threads started by me, you should find it.

The build was easy enough. I upgraded the entire cam chest too. Also, I went with their Level B heads too.

The bike was gone before I ever got a custom dyno tune done, but man, it really was a bump up from the 88". The TW-555-6R cams I used with the kit were impressive. They woke up around 2500 RPMs and never stopped pulling.

FWIW, I have never gone into a motor that deep before. The videos on FM's site, combined with a service manual made the job cake. These motors are pieces of cake to work on.
