Default Big Bore Kit
Hello everyone my first post and my first harley. I bought a 2008 Heritage Softail Classic here in houston. I immediatley had the dealer install a stage 1 kit and V&H pipes. I am wondering as to whether or not it is worth it to go with a big bore kit. Any advice or experiences with the big bore kit would be welcome. Also is there a way to go above the 103ci without changing the motor..

thanks tom N Katy,Tx

This section of the forum is primarily for greeting new members. Your more likely to get help with specific questions if you post them either in the area of the forum which relates to your specific model of bike or in the relevant tech area of the forum.

I'm afraid I can't help with your questions but good luck in finding an answer.
