Are there any current books or manuals out there on how to set up a big bore bike (103 or larger...) for street and touring... not drag or race...if not would somebody please hurry up and write one...

103 is a stroker with big bore cylinders, 95 is a big bore

Lots of posts on web boards all over the net.

Best thing is to decide where and how you want the power, a hot 95 will smoke a showroom 103 SE bike.


If you want a good combination

SE High Flow air filter kit or Ness Big Sucker
95 Cylinders (bore your 88's out)
95 Flat top pistons (HD 9.5 to1)
Andrews tw-37B cams
Send heads to www.motorcyclemachine.com (Short Block Charlies) $300
Exhaust, change to better flowing slip ons, Hooker, Khrome Werks, V&H
Powercommander or Race Tuner for EFI (depends on bike year)
If carb, CV44 and big bore intake (Includes SE High Flow filter kit)
Get it dyno tuned

Should do 100/100 or close and work really well on the bagger.

Thanks HRK again... all you guys have been great to answer my training wheel questions...

Am I understanding that a 103 is merely a 95 bored out...and that a 95 is an 88 bored out...?? HD has a 103 (1690") right... (you're on a 116 which is not a HD mill I understand) so if I start with a 103... can I assume correctly that engine can be "stroked" in the manner you describe... heads, cam, ignition, exhaust etc...?? whaddya think the results would be... I'm looking to build a RK with around a 100hp that's not tempermental and twitchy or needs to be fussed with all the time in order to run smoothly... if that's an unreasonable goal perhaps you could advise me differently...?? Thanks...
