| The only suggestion I could make would be to plan your project thoroughly. Decide on cams, heads, pistons, etc, etc, so you don't do things twice or come up with a combination that doesn't work well together. There were some threads on this subject back a few, I just don't remember where/when but they're here. I would bore your existing cylinders though and get a good set of pistons, maybe change over to Cometic gaskets. If I remember correctly, they will boost your compression by a little bit. I'm sure others will chime in, that's about it for my .02 | |

| If you are going to put this together by peicing it, I would recommend a set of Keith black flat top pistons with Commetic .030 gaskets. It will bring your compression up to about 9.7/9.8 to one which will keep you out of the pinging range and help out with a few more ponies without spending too much money. You'll get plenty of input on cams selection, just make sure what you settle for is balanced with how you ride. For me I'll always give up top end horsepower for a few foot pounds of torque because there is a difference between fast and quick. When I pull out to pass a truck on my baggers I want "Quick" so I load up on the torque whenever possible. | |

| Sorry Homestead, I kindof got off track with my answer on the carb part. Like Chuck said those cv carbs are good for builds like your talking about. VYBR8ER said it best though, go for the torque. | |

| homesteadted,
I done a ShortblockCharlie build on my 99 roadglide, heads,andrews37 cams, adjustable push rods, SE flat top pistons, .0030 Cometic head gaskets, etc. I am running a Mikuni 42mm carb, but I know guys with the same build using their stock carbs, just do a rejet and a slide modification. That probably didn't answer your question.
Stock-w/rejet and slide/needle mod.
Mikuni 42
S&S super E
Any one of these will work well with a 95 in. in MHO. | |

| Make sure who ever is boring the jugs, you get them the pistons first, the KB's are a tighter fit and pay attention to the ring gap instructions. | |
