I know it's just a little one compared to the 107ci plus nowadays. But should be a pretty good improvement over stock....

Reused the Rush slip ons and big sucker air cleaner.
Bought a power vision, but havn't hooked it up yet. P/C sent me a base tune for it. Planning to get tuned by BVBOB this summer. I think the bigger injectors offset the other changes because it is more responsive than ever off idle and seems to run very well. At and off idle anyway. No test drive yet......damn salty roads
Hope to get on the road this week. Supposed to rain tomorrow.
I intend on being dynoed and tuned by bvbob. If I can't get over his way I'm only about 20 minutes from fuelmoto. I went 95" because I wanted the tight fit of a cast piston. Kirby bored cylinders and did his serdi street port with new higher flow tulip valves and milled to get compression at a true 9.5:1. I wanted it to be quiet, torquey and reliable, this is what I came up with. Are there bigger higher lift cams....of course. Could I make more power with more compression and a bigger more aggressive cam, Sure. But I wanted stock reliability and grunt from bottom on up.
Cost on big bore.......depends what you all do, but pistons and boring about $300. Plus gaskets. No real special tools but a good torque wrench. Intake wrench and some ball end Allen's will make life a bit easier too.
I just did a similar build but kept my stock heads and had hillside bore my cylinders to 98". I had the same thing in mind with mine. Keep it reliable. If I wanted a hot rod I would have bought a different bike. Keep us posted once you get it to a dyno.
I have the exact same build, except I went with Andrews 21 cams, and my bike is carbed. Kirby bored my cyls as well.
I'm only 100 miles into break-in, so no real intel on how much better it is than the 88", but I can tell you that I barely crack the throttle and the thing just moves. It's deceptive. Several times I looked at the speedo and was going 10-15 mph faster than I thought I was. It's like driving a hotrod diesel.
Put 130 miles on last night. Had to install the base tune from PC for the power vision. Was lean and pinging on a roll on. After download, all was good. Runs very good. Find myself grabbing for another gear because 60mph comes so effortlessly, but it's already in 5th. LOL. Can't wait to get some more miles on and be able to get on the throttle some more......Then for a dyno tune.
