Evening all,

I just want a nice, reliable little motor that revs. 

Who is the kit from, and can you trust the cylinder to piston clearance ?

John, I would not go over 95 ( with stock stroke ) and think the 88" a good motor as thicker cylinder wall's, when you resize to 95 you have not got as much meat in the bore wall's to hold its round & seal as well. I had an 88" twin Cam & bored it to 95". it performed really well. but I could see they show the same type wear as the old 80" EVO in the bore.

My understanding is the twin cams used the same cylinders but the earlier twin cam (88ci) used a shorter stroke than the 2006/7 onwards longer stroke twin cam. 

i got a 98 kit ready to be put in my fxdx.Will get it in this winter sometime.I had the same kit in another lowrider i had a few years ago and i did 50000ks on that before i sold it on and it is still going strong.Reliability is not a problem with these.Both kits i bought from dunne performance in the states including his heads.great street motor with 575 cyclerama cams.

Bit of any update, SE high comp 95in pistons, black OEM 88in barrels to be bored out, and SE 257 cams on the way.

John I had no trouble with my tc88 bored to 95 but guy who resized barrels had a good set up & torque plate, I did 100,000 on it , but somewhere along the line the stock flywheels slipped, put the crank out, I did not know straight away as was only drag racing the bike at that time ( recovering from injury ) I just noticed the ET & trap speed was taking longer & going slower in the traps, but though I was riding the same. so pulled the heads, was surprised as could Harley turn the motor in the cases. took out the oil pump that's on the shaft , but the S&S Gear drive cams I used no damage. picked up near new stock tc88 flywheels checked trueness & had pin welded that was a while back but motor still going strong. & I was doing 7,200 RPM through speed trap in 4th gear at Sydney Drags and best time 11.2 with me riding it trap speed 121.5 MPH 4th gear. the stock barrels bored to 95" looked fine, just showed the normal wear marks like the old EVO 80" normally show, the thicker tc88 bore would hold it's true better. but I never tried, I just went 95".

Great reply KK.  Even I can understand that.. Sort of.

Yeah the plan will be to get it bored with torque plates. There is/was a bloke local in Queanbeyan, so will hit him up when they arrive, otherwise I'll send them somewhere.

Not an expert of any means, but, in saying that I was going to pump my 2006 88 out. Did a lotta homewok, decision was a 95 absolutely. With Christmas tree boobles, little extra stuff. Wish I'd stuck with it, as I think as a keyboard hero at the moment, would be a wise choice.

John, who in Queanbeyan are you considering using? My harley engine guy uses graham silk racing enterprises in Queanbeyan so might be worth checking out 

Thanks for the heads up Fatbat. Do they have torque plates for TCs?

Arrived today.

Nice work John I didn’t realise you were buying new cylinders. Thought you would doing a bore out job. 

That was the original plan fatbat, but these cylinders where included in the price ($350 for pistons and cylinders) and they're the cooler looking ones, as i was gonna paint the donk black anyway. 

I'll try and call GSRE again tomorrow to check, otherwise I know Dougo has em, or theres a heap of options in Syd.

I used to use Peter Pulford in Mitchell but he retired and sold all his workshop stuff.
