I got a good deal on a 96" to swap for my 88". The 96 is from a 07 ultra and mine is a 06 road king. The 96 comes with tranny and primary. I'm planning to upgrade the 96 to a 107. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated

I'd be as excited about the 6 speed as I would the bigger motor. Seems like I'm looking for one more gear enough for that to be a great upgrade.

I replaced my belt drive pulley with one from Andrews that has 2 more teeth, it was about $120 and makes my 5th gear like 6th gear now, love it, at 70 mph I am doing about 2,700 now instead of 3,000.
