Question Aloha from Illinois

New Moke here and officially my first thread! Retired Navy with my first HD... yes, I finally pulled the trigger and went from the dirt to the street in my quest to relaxing in my retirement stages of life. Glad to be amongst fellow brothers and sisters of the long road ahead. Got me the latest from HD that is currently being custom'd at the dealership as we speak... since the CVO's where spoken for, I got a new Breakout with new pipes, intake, rims, controls and speed mod as my first additions to my ride. I will post the picture as soon as it's in my driveway.
waited 2 months for this puppy to get in and now the wait is just about over... contemplating a Big Bore Kit, bringing the 103 to 110... do you think it's worth the effort?

Thanks, DC
