    Hi all, I have an 06 FLSTCI and bought some big billet race heads with 2" inlet valve and 1" 5/8 exhaust with the combustion chamber size at 84cc from the States and a set of Woods TW 6H cams.I have a spare set of cylinders i want to bore to 98 and was wondering what the best pistons to suit would be. I have read 10.2:1 compression is about correct for this cam but  any info would be appreciated.

    But being an 06 you have an 88ci yeh????

    Ok thanks mate yeah 95 is the go then.Yes I think I read a few years back they do do 98ci re-sleeve after market cylinders with the bottom sleeves machined so they still fit the case is that right?

    Greggy don't fuck around mate if ya gonna bore ya stock cylinder bore all the way leave nothing on the table. bore out to 98 you won't have any reliability issues if who ever does it uses torque plates.

    Look at CP pistons and the bigboyz calculator to work out what comp ya want to get at. Bobby's cam like comp so don't be scared to get that 98cuber up to 10.5 and get a good tune, even a bigger TB to feed it

    good luck Cob with the build

    In case you're not aware:
    95 to an 88 motor is the same as 103 to a 96 motor.
    98 to an 88 motor is the same as 106/107 to a 96 motor.
    Cylinders on a 88 and 96 are the same - diff in displacement is the crank.

    Lots of 106 and 107 twin cams getting around without issues. There are thousands of them in the USA - big mobs like fuel moto make it their business and they bore out the oem cylinders. I agree with ando - go the whole hog.

    If you use the 106 size piston and cylinder, you could even take it out to the 107 size in the future if you had to.
