I brought my bike into the my local bike shop it’s a 03 fatboy was a 88. First he did cams, tensioner air cleaner and a program. Was not enough pull for me so I dropped it back off and had him bore it out and do head work I want to say the bore n head work was just under a grand. Money well spent!!
Great video, I would probably take one off the shelf, but definitely add a good cam and head work. Don't forget to upgrade comp and clutch, oil pump ect. Hey foo see you next week!
I bought an 03 883 with plans to put a hammer 1275 kit in it which I bought a few months later when they had a sale. I would definitely buy another kit from hammer on a bigger bike. I'm all about the torque ,0-60 or 0-100 is where it's at im not interested in going over a hundred on a bike these days. I rode big bore sport bikes in my twenties like an idiot. More into cruising now with a few rips here and there
I picked up a "slightly used" 95" SE big bore kit with 10.5:1 compression pistons and added a S&S 510 gear driven cam set up on my 2003 Softail. Best money ever spent for some great power that's very reliable with NO mechanical issues whatsoever. Motor has 80k+ miles and she's still running strong!!
@@kweitmann6913 the stock carburetor?? I'm working on a dyna and I'm thinking to use the same set up, only change the cam to a 509 s&s , whit those pistons are u using Compression Release?
@@marcolabastida465 The carb is stock except I drilled the hole in the vacuum slide to a #30 and clipped about 3/8” off of the slide spring. And oh yes, compression releases are a must. Went though 3 starter clutches before adding the comp. releases.
I will second the 95 is no slouch. I had one in a 2001 Ultra a few years ago, and after riding beside me (I was 2 up) a guy took in his new '14 Ultra for a stage 4 because he was so irritated at his bike. The 95's rock. Hands down.
That's awesome! People forget those bikes used to be rode cross country! Today people think you can't do it unless you have a loaded out touring bike with a stereo. Don't get me wrong that helps but all you need is a windshield and some bags.
When I did mine I had to upgrade the clutch because the stock clutch wouldn’t hold the added torque the 95 inch kit had so make sure you upgrade your clutch
I've been running my 03 Road King since it was new. Installed 95 inch cylinders and cams, and pro pipe at 10,000 miles. Upgraded the cam chest as soon as the kit came out. Same with an ignition module. Been running it that way since then. It's no slacker....
It also depends on how you ride. For instance some guys enjoy a sporty ride; high revving, speed cornering, high speed lane changing etc. BUT I just like getting up to the speed limit quickly without a bunch of high revs. SO I love a high torque engine that can effortlessly shove my fat ass down the road.
That's what l'm talking about right there, that's a sleeper! I didn't even go into 10.5:1 compression either, you and l both know what that bike is capable of 👍.
This is exactly why I went with a 95" build on my Softail, shorter stroke, sooner powerband and not mention the con rod angularity thing. I went with S&S Super Stock heads with 1.94 intake, 79cc, SE flat tops and matching jugs and I guess that puts me around 9.75:1 can comp, Andrews 37g, Mikuni 42 and Bassani Pro Streets... don't know how much HP or TQ I'm making, but it sure does haul ass! You are absolutely right Gixxer, not to count out the 95"... great segment as always!!!
by the way i have the same parts except s & s pistons and 585 cams 10.7 compression. 100.3hp 150nm. the torque is in the upper rpms. Some day i test woods cams.
Mine is a 03 FXD, 95 in. DarkHorse crank and H beam rods, Wood TW8G gear drive .590 cams. Mondello heads, 10.5-1 comp., DynaTek ign., Jetted carb etc.etc. Over 115 to the wheels and revs quik. I love it.
What's up mr .foo , I have an 02 road king with S&S 509 cams support plate and oil pump. I run a thundermax tuner . The local Indy took it for a ride and swore it has a 95 inch in it. I did my research and got the best cams for my application because I didn't want to pull the heads and change the springs for bigger cams. Bike runs absolutely flawless. 800 lb bike needs a torque cam to get her moving. She's real snappy and hits 80 really quick. My famous saying... Miles of smiles.... great stuff Mr Foo
That right there, your bike exemplifies exactly what l talk about the channel! Right cam, right parts and the right bike! I appreciate your support on the channel!
I have a carbureted 02 Electra Glide with a rebuilt Fueling component cam chest (hydraulic plate, tensioner shoes, high capacity oil pump, lifters) but I went with S&S 510 cams. The performance gain from the 510’s kick in at 3000 rpm’s. Or around 70 mph which is perfect for Highway cruising and passing. And that’s at half-throttle. I did this upgrade two years ago and it’s like having a new bike.
I love my 95 ci. I have a bit of a Frankenstein. 04 RK Classic fi. Power vision wide band o2 tuner, Bassani 2 into 1 , jp precision 2b heads.i got a set of 02 casses for the timken bearings, i got the casses cleared for a Woods tw6hg cam. The crank is welded plugged and trued. Im pushing 190 ccp. Om using pop up comp releases. I keep up with the 114ci no problems...
I'm with you on this one. I had a 95" Zippers torque king kit on my 06 street glide that worked very well. It was a little lacking in hp but had a ton of torque. Even on car motors I prefer a big bore over a long stroke, for the very reason you've stated. Also strokers tend to run hotter.
I used to have a 2002 FXDWG and did the 95” kit with stock heads and a jet jet in the stock carb. I did add the s&s 510 gear drive cams and that thing was a runner!! Never put it on the dyno but I could pull and carry the front wheel through 2nd no problem!
I finally got that hammer 1275 kit with the 570 cams and xb heads. Its way more rowdy and sounds different too. Tons of torque! Your reviews help me make the choice to go with hammer. Keep it up! Love the Harley performance side
Right on man.. I have an 88 sporty that I stuck a hammer 1250 with a set of andrews V2s in it last year. Has a set of 87 bathtub chamber heads as well. I could only wish to have some xb heads on this year. they don't run on first Gen Evo sportys. Not real sure why, not really researched it, maybe gixxerfoo knows lol. I know yours has to run like a scalded dog because mine does and not near what ya got on yours lol. Hammer Performance makes solid kits for sure and nice dealing with them as well..
@@rustyshackleford4059 oh ya it runs so good. Its a whole new bike. My buddy has a similar build to mine ( 10.5:1 comp. 560 cams) his should be faster maybe it's my pipe idk. I was out running him at Partial throttle and short shifting because I'm still in the break in process. The amount of torque I have now is the most noticable difference so far. I'll report back after I Dyno it and can go full throttle to 7000 rpms.
@@slickwilly1099 ya because that makes a lot of sense right? In the Harley world there isn't much that can hang.. and if your talking about sport bikes I have one of those too and many other bikes. I've been riding for 16 years I've ridden all kinds of bikes. Explain what you are comparing it too that makes it slow?
I just got a 2000 model carbureted Dyna FXDWG with 22,022 miles. The bike is in near perfect original condition. The Guy threw in 2 extra seats and Sissy bar pads. One is the original seat and Sissy bar/pad, a luggage rack, a new Front tire, tube and Rim band in the box. Also, He gave me the original exhaust, (it has Vance&Hines staggered Straight shots now), a new H-D brand bike cover, and a Service Manual. I think I got a pretty good deal. I plan to upgrade the Cams when it's time to replace the original Cam Chain Tensioner Shoes. Thanks for your videos and keep up the good work! I think I'll upgrade to SE Hydraulic Cam Plate Chest, High volume oil pump and "Off the Shelf" parts like you mention here.
@@superplumber5 - I already did. The shoes have minor wear on both of them. I removed and inspected the fuel petcock and fuel strainer. I removed and cleaned the K&N Hi-Flo air cleaner. I did a 3 hole oil and filter change. I'm flushing and bleeding the brakes now. Gonna take the front wheel to the shop in the morning, to have the new tire installed. Gonna replace the brake pads also. I'm gonna ride it awhile before I do anything else to it. It rides quite a bit different than my StreetGlide...
I’ve had my’05 road king 88 for 10 years and no complaints. Had a Vance &Hines Pro pipe when I bought it ( hated the sound). Made my own pipes and baffles that everyone I ride with says sounds great,though a little crispier tone like my irohead with homemade exhaust had. Never did have it re flashed and it’s been running better than ever. I’m happy with it as is,not planning to build it up .
My stock 2002 flhrsei with the 95 has always ran good enough for me. I have thought about cams and such, but I haul a pop up camping trailer with it, and has done well doing that for the last 20 years.
Great video! Exactly what I'm looking for. Some good performance that doesn't break my bank! I don't need to have 10hp more for $2k-$3k. Around 100hp or just shy of it is enough for this old cowboy 🤠

carburetor, my 2002 RK I did the 95" S&S 9.7:1 piston and cylinder kit and S&S 510 gear drive cams. I'm running a Ramjet one piece intake manifold, Mikuni 42mm carb, Supertrap 2 into exhaust and Thunderheart coil and ignition. I'm very happy with the performance.
Sent the heads from my 2003 fxstdse to JET in Rhode Island for their CVN cnc shrink porting. Used their jet velocity stack and kn air filter, Andrews 37 conversion cams with had newer hydraulic chains and adjusters had screaming Eagle oil pump and cam plate (upgraded cam bearing) with screaming eagle2 mufflers. Claimed 91 hp and 106 torq. This actually sounds conservative with what this video goes into. Did give it a noticible bump from the factory (with se 203 cam) set up.
04 09 22 purchased a 2002 88 twin cam heritage. only 17828 mi. very clean scoot looks new. $9828.43 out the door. paid cash. It has a carb. I was a little bit shy about the 88. However the local wrench turner assured me the 88 is a good motor and says the same thing about upgrades that you say. Next winter going to turn this scoot into a beast. Thanks for your vids.
2002 was the last year of the timken bear and forged crank shaft. Make sure the cam tensioner system is upgraded and you will have one of the most reliable twin cams out there
I would bore & hone the cyclinders to a set of Wiesco 10&1/2 pistons if you want torque use a1.900 intake valve & A 1.630 ex valve along with high lift springs if you want all out HP the intake valve should be a 2 inch .I like to use a head off a 2006 & up ( a lot less material to remove to make a good head . Cams should be 585 lift to 635 lift . Forget about woods cams every one of those has what I call the woods drop )they make the power for a short minute then the power drops off just when you want it to keep pulling ! Want even more bore the cases to accept 4&1/8 bore cyclinders for 107 cu in ! The 95 is my choice the 107 RULES ! Short stroke big bore !
I bought a pair cylinders at a swap meet and had them bored while waiting for my heads to come back from branch flowmetrics ran their cam and pistons on my 02 fxdx turned a 10.22 on the dyno drags 107 hp 127 mph rode it 70000 miles with no probs
Wud up Foo!! Here is my current 95" build with dyno tune. I just ordered some Wood TW-6 cams, obviously not a huge difference between these and my current S&S 510's but why not, I like playing. The best thing about these engines is that they love to rev and cruise at 2800-3k rpms. This bike rips, 0-100 mph she takes my buddy's 2021 107 softail and keeps right up with the 114's.

Excellent content!!! My 06 EG classic has the SE Kit with the SE plate, oil pump, TTS Tuner, and Khrome Werks header and exhaust. My Dyno run had 92 ft lbs and 84 hp.. Your video could not have came at a better time as I'm looking to change the cam, and have some head work done. Looking to really see what I can really get out of my little 88!!! lol
Those really good numbers with a 88 honestly, you've got a great setup to build on. You put a 95 kit on top with a good cam and you'll have a whole new motorcycle. Great power and torque, best part is it will be reliable too. You'll be able to jump on it and go anywhere you want anytime.
The only time I really scared myself on a bike, was on a SE Deuce with the factory 95. Probably would've killed myself if it had better cams. That engine creates a rocket!
GOD BLESS the 95 " TWINKIE 🙏 MY 95 KIT WITH WOODS TW6 97 HP 110 TQ CARBURETOR PULLS LIKE a FREIGHT TRAIN S/S GEAR DRIVE STOCK CYL. ( MY STOCK 88 BORED OUT CYLINDERS WERE NICELY HEAT SEASONED for BORING ) V/H PRO PIPE
They don't build them like they used to is all l can say. Those 95's pull so damn hard from that 4 inch stroke, you ride a 95 like yours then jump on a long stroke 96 with a cam and you'll feel the difference. The long stroke is lazy compared to the short stroke.
I have one of these in a 2001 RK. It was installed when the bike was new. I bought the bike wrecked with 25k mile - it sounded like the valve train would fail at any moment. Since then I've installed Feuling cam plate and gear drive tw-6hg (same cam that was originally installed, shimmed the rocker arm end clearance to under 0.010. Finished it out with Reinhardt tru-dual and a Ness super sucker. Ii have not had it dyno'd but believe it is over 100 hp. I also am disappointed with my 2008 SE 110 with the same set up. It's nearly putting ou 101 hp and 109 Ft/lb.
Seems about the right time for you to do a few vids on upgrading the M8 107. Everything from a Stage 1, to cams, to big bore kits. HD is starting to put them in the Softail frame, which means they're underappreciated & the time is fast approaching that the 107 will be disco'd.
Thanks @GixxerFoo for this video. My 06 Road King with my 95” build is fun, and does alright with the bigger engines. The Feuling 543 Reaper cam is pretty stout. I run 10.5:1.
I googled “how to make a grenade” and this video came out 😂. My 88 was my favorite engine out of my harleys, but it blew up as well as tons of others that I knew who has them as well. Sucks they just can’t build reliable with their awesome fit finish and awesome sounding machines
I have a 06 Street Glide with the 95 kit with light weight/high compression pistons, an Andrews gear drive cam combo, polished and ported heads, stage 1 intake and PCIII tuner and it dyno tested at well over 100 hp and over 100 ft lbs torque. I can't remember the exact numbers but at almost 80k miles it is still running strong.
My 07 street glide has the big bore jugs, bored with a weisco piston 10.5 compression, ss ported heads with screamin eagle intake and throttle body tuned with a full true duel vance and hines exhaust and a custom grind cam. Its an absolute savage. Super super snappy. Eat 107's alive! Not even a match. It helps I've lightened the bike up some and I'm only 140lbs soaking wet lol
A short stroke Twin as a Square Build ( 4x4 ) is a great engine for a light bike such as a Dyna or Softail riding locally. Without a doubt its a peppy engine and that 88in had the tried and true durable crank that was bolted together. But to say the bigger stroke engines are a bit slower to jump up and run as quickly isnt the case. The cams with compression dictate the peak torque and horsepower regardless of displacement. You smack the throttle on a big bore long stroke with a set of cams for torque. You better have a stout driveline to handle that level of power and have velcro on your seat, ass, gloves and grips. I have seen bike engines bang a 120ft pds of torque at 2200 rpms and carry that and more out in the upper rpms. I rode a 2002 Dyna Super Glide with a 95in stage 2 kit Mild head work with high lift springs, 48mm Mikuni Carb, Andrews TW54 set of cams and the original V&H Pro pipe. It was a great short ride bar hopper!!!
Big cams and hot compression will overcome a lot for sure, a 95 in a touring bike with a high torque cam works really well. With the 5 speed transmission it keep the motor right in that rpm range on the highway for great roll on passing.
@@GixxerFoo My current 124" in my 2008 Road Glide trike. Is a tractor engine. Compression is at 10.2 and I changed front and rear belt sprockets to a 30/70 ratio. Not sluggish at and any rpm and yes there is heat. Mostly due to the added weight and wind resistance of the trike body and my fat ass sitting on it. 😂😂😂
I wish i would have realized that cams made such a big difference before.. once i had a broken exhaust stud on a 88… i took it to a dealership who ended up having to take the head off to drill out the stud.. i was mad because taking the motor apart costs an extra $500 in labour and they didn’t tell me until after they already did it. But they could have upsold me some cams at the same time and turned a negative into a positive… just shows how lousy of salesmen they are…. I ended up selling the bike a few years later because i wanted a faster bike.. now im wishing i would have just upgraded it back then.
Right on ; little monster - Got my pistons gaskets ready ; waiting on cyl boring . Going to change out valve guide seals while heads off . I went with cast pistons 10:25 to one . Cam should bring that down a bit . 125 psi on compression test with stock pistons right now . High rpm recommend forged . Well the new rage around here is electric bicycles. Bidenomics I guess with the gas prices I guess.😁 ✊🏻👍👌 thanks for the info 🙏 Not worried about sprocket bearing for hd when bigger and bigger with that same bearing . Fingers crossed 🤞-
I went with fueling 575 cams straight gear drive fueling cam chest oil pump and it helped it but when I did the 95 inch bore and the heads on it it made it a rocket ship
@@johnippolito2376 it's really strong right off idle all the way up through the mid-range that's why I didn't Port anything they just polished the heads up I love it
Im running a dave mackie megasphere 95, 10.5-1 comp, ported and polished heads 510 cams. Runs great but a coil/ignition with a bigger carb would complete it.
Hey GixxerFoo, super Video (as always) - pls keep up the great work! As far as my RK Custom SE 2005 goes, hell yes, what a beast! But after riding and enjoying it for more than a year, i am curious (as a Non-Mechanic) whats really in this TWIN CAM 88??? From the outside the Engine shows SE + CNC Ported + SE Exhaust + SE high flow air filter. The Pre-Owner said that `everthing` was done by the factory as a `full SE package`. Who can help?
Gixxer, you look EXACTLY like my first squad leader (Travis) when I joined the Army… doppelgänger.. fukn identical.. it’s crazy Ok.. got that out.. are you a tech? Or just read a lot?
😄👍 nice! I worked in service, parts and sales in my career. I am just a guy turning wrenches in his garage these days but l read a lot too. Thinking you know it all is what gets you in trouble. I work on bikes and l have my way of doing things but always open to opinions and ideas to integrate into my own way of building bikes.
Loved this one man!....especially cause I just bought a used road king. The dude said he put a 95" kit in it with 525 cams. I don't have any numbers but this thing pulls pretty good. It'll run 100 mph at 3 grand. Are those 525 cams a fueling cam?...he didn't know cause a shop did the work. Also it has stock heads with true duals so headwork and a 2 into 1 with a hpi throttle body should be a huge performance boost would you agree?....any advice from you is well received man love your channel
Yeah Feuling cams, I would go for the head work and the exhaust and see where you land. Throttle bodies are crazy expensive and being a 95 it may not be of much benefit to add a throttle body. Now having the throttle body ported wouldn't be a bad idea at all and Hammer Performance does that like 100 bucks.
Thanks man. I had a hpi throttle body on my built 103 and it was pretty damn amazing....with ported heads, bigger jets and 90 degree air filter It was a damn strong running engine but you could fry an egg on the rocker box covers
Good morning 🌅, GixxerFoo, As I have said before, been there, done it, and got the T shirt, well worth it, now trying to do it again, but it is not knowing what the previous owners has done, and from what I can see S&S 510g cams , HSR 42, and it runs like shit, so starting from scratch, Very Big Problem, waiting for parts, France,
That's rough going back over someone else's work when you've got a problem like that. Sounds like you've already got it apart and found a lot of things you didn't want to see in there.
@@GixxerFoo yes I don’t know if it’s as had big bore kit, 88 to a 95 , it is not running right, I have just rebuilt the HSR again with all new jets, as I couldn’t see the size of jets, so I have put the same size that was in my original engine, apart from taking the heads off I don’t think I could find out what size it is, someone has definitely been inside the primary side, as it has got some off the market seals inside, As I mentioned, it has had a set of S&S cams put in it, but it still got the original back plate, and I can’t quite see whether the oil pump has been changed, and the cams are get driven, I wished I’ve got indefinite funds to throw at it, as I would strip the whole engine down completely, I was hoping to have it back on the road by now, though saying that my weather is not very good, And hopefully I’ll catch up with you later tonight when you upload your next UA-cam, France
I have an 2002 heritage softail with a Jerry branch complete 95 kit with heads and cams. Let me tell you she a screamer and will out run a stock 114 M-8.
I've watched this video a couple of times now and you have me seriously considering changing out my Andrews TW26 cams with the Wood TW6. I had the TW26 cams installed as part of a stage 2 upgrade, but I didn't go with a hydraulic cam chain tensioner because at 37,000 miles there didn't seem to be enough wear to bother. I now want to do a stage 3 big bore kit on my 2006 feul injected Road King and maybe do the Wood TW6 cams plus the hydraulic tensioner. 104HP and 116 ft lbs tq ain't nothing to sneeze at! I do like the TW26 cams though because they come in at 1800/2000 rpm and pull like hell to as fast as I'm will to go, but the dyno chart of the TW6 cams look like they kick in right at 2000 rpm as well.
Regarding S.E. parts, I'm biased against, because I feel The Motor Co. should have put bigger cams in from the start. Unless, they are limited, due to emmissions constraints, then I relent. Still, I'd rather look into Woods, Reaper, S&S, or similar for aftermarket goodies.
Thank you, l appreciate the support! That's a classic bike and even if they made a new Softail of it today it wouldn't be same. Keep me updated on your build!
Question for you Gixxer Foo, I am dealing with HD shop in my area. Going for the 95 BB kit from S&S and adding 509 S&S cams. I just need to be able to pass some cars and all 18 wheelers. I just need passing power, is this combination a good move? Please give me your thoughts please so I can do this once and be done with it for good. I will be waiting for your positive comments, thank you.
I put the 95" kit on my '06 Deluxe and went with the SE204 cams instead of the SE203 that comes with the kit. Coupled with the high flow air filter backplate and V&H exhaust, my bike was dyno'ed at the dealer with the SE race tuner and returned 90.2 horsepower and 99.7 torque. I imagine some headwork and a better tuner that isn't locked in to premade maps will do better, but it is a noticeable difference over stock and it idles with a decent lope!
I have a twin cam, lower sent to dark horse stock stroke 100 in big bore kit Sand S heads that been flowed roller rockers and I can't decide what is going to squeeze every ounce of hp , should I use solid lifters or hydraulic maybe you could shine some light on that for me is it worth the hassle of readjusting your valve lash,I also have 585 cams S and S of course
Depends what you want to do with it, but with the 10.5:1 compression if you had the heads done with springs the Wood TW-8 would really make it rip! If you're running stock heads a TW-6 would be a good match.
Hey GixxerFoo thanks for putting out great content and all kinds of valuable hands on knowledge. I have an 06 Electra glide so far I’ve done the 95 kit se pistons, se heads s&s 510 gear drive cams fueling cam plate, se 90 degree air breather and thunder header 2 into 1. I Haven’t had it tuned yet but I’m wondering if I’m getting pretty much all I can get out of a 95 build. I think I was expecting a bigger difference in seat dyno. Would you recommend a different cam choice maybe , I’d like it to pull harder or am I expecting too much out of a 95.
Wood makes some pretty good cam that will day down some power all over the chart. The cam you have is really meant to run with the stock heads and compression, a cam swap would really benefit you quite a bit. Since you've got the heads a Wood TW-8 is a pretty hot cam that will really make it run hard.
@@GixxerFoo Okay that sounds good, I think I’ll order the the TW-8 and then get it tuned and see what it feels like. Thank you for assistance I appreciate it.
It would be difficult to turn a evo I to a twin cam. Hey, that would be cool, it's not been done before. My opinion is a evo is better to have than any twin cam
Ok , so I have this same setup in an 04 softail . With the largest screaming Eagle cam , stage 2 I believe. With Zippers heads . Tuned when it was installed at 102 HP / 104 FPT . Lots of fun ! Problem I’ve been having since is when I’m hammering on it , highway riding , coming to a slow down or stop the bike idles down to a complete shut off . Also an serious lack in power . Starts right back up and idles fine . I’ve had this bike in a few shops , zero solution . We’ve changed throttle body , and a few other small things . Anyone have any knowledge to share , I’d greatly appreciate it . I’m seriously lost on this one ! Thx y’all have an awesome day 🤘🏼😎
GixerFoo, isn’t that 100 HP, 100 ft. pounds of torque more that the stock 88 TC crank and bearings (not the tapered Timken) can handle? If so then you added another $1500 to do the bottom end right.
Would you order a 95 kit off the shelf or opt to tear your bike down and wait for machine shop turn around?
I brought my bike into the my local bike shop it’s a 03 fatboy was a 88. First he did cams, tensioner air cleaner and a program. Was not enough pull for me so I dropped it back off and had him bore it out and do head work I want to say the bore n head work was just under a grand. Money well spent!!
Great video, I would probably take one off the shelf, but definitely add a good cam and head work. Don't forget to upgrade comp and clutch, oil pump ect. Hey foo see you next week!
I'd rather have cylinders match the pistons,
I'm close to upgrading my '04 Fatboy 88ci to a bigger beast. I'm leaning towards boring the stock jugs to 100 inch.
I bought an 03 883 with plans to put a hammer 1275 kit in it which I bought a few months later when they had a sale. I would definitely buy another kit from hammer on a bigger bike. I'm all about the torque ,0-60 or 0-100 is where it's at im not interested in going over a hundred on a bike these days. I rode big bore sport bikes in my twenties like an idiot. More into cruising now with a few rips here and there
88 to a 95 90 hp 103 torque, puts a smile on my face!
S&S 100 inch kits for twin cam 88s are pretty impressive too
Yeah they are! They can put down over 100 horse pretty easily!
I picked up a "slightly used" 95" SE big bore kit with 10.5:1 compression pistons and added a S&S 510 gear driven cam set up on my 2003 Softail. Best money ever spent for some great power that's very reliable with NO mechanical issues whatsoever. Motor has 80k+ miles and she's still running strong!!
Is it a carb or EFI ?
@@marcolabastida465 She’s carbureted
@@kweitmann6913 the stock carburetor?? I'm working on a dyna and I'm thinking to use the same set up, only change the cam to a 509 s&s , whit those pistons are u using Compression Release?
@@marcolabastida465 The carb is stock except I drilled the hole in the vacuum slide to a #30 and clipped about 3/8” off of the slide spring. And oh yes, compression releases are a must. Went though 3 starter clutches before adding the comp. releases.
Done this to my 02 FLSTS @ 3500 miles. Here it is, 08/2024. Im still loving it.
I will second the 95 is no slouch. I had one in a 2001 Ultra a few years ago, and after riding beside me (I was 2 up) a guy took in his new '14 Ultra for a stage 4 because he was so irritated at his bike.
The 95's rock. Hands down.
I've always said that Harley designed the TC as a 95" to begin with and then produced it as an 88" so they could sell a lot of upgrade kits.
I wouldn't doubt that for a second, that's exactly what Harley-Davidson does.
Thank you still learning on this new stuff ,in closing all you kids need to ride a ,74 inch pan head. Still riding my ,64 pan since early 70" s
That's awesome! People forget those bikes used to be rode cross country! Today people think you can't do it unless you have a loaded out touring bike with a stereo. Don't get me wrong that helps but all you need is a windshield and some bags.
Windshield ,bags. and a panhead
When I did mine I had to upgrade the clutch because the stock clutch wouldn’t hold the added torque the 95 inch kit had so make sure you upgrade your clutch
I am a huge fan of the 95ci. Add a Oil Cooler, Cam, Makuni Carb, Decent Exhaust and it really does have good power and it’s actually really reliable.
I've been running my 03 Road King since it was new. Installed 95 inch cylinders and cams, and pro pipe at 10,000 miles. Upgraded the cam chest as soon as the kit came out. Same with an ignition module. Been running it that way since then. It's no slacker....
They do run very hard!
Thank you Foo and all brothers comment content, this will halp me navigate choices for my '06 RK.!
We have the best community on UA-cam by far!
It also depends on how you ride. For instance some guys enjoy a sporty ride; high revving, speed cornering, high speed lane changing etc. BUT I just like getting up to the speed limit quickly without a bunch of high revs. SO I love a high torque engine that can effortlessly shove my fat ass down the road.
The cam profile decides when and where you get your power, good torque cam in a 95 kit will give you that off the line pull.
Mine has a 95 kit with Keith Black 10.5:1 pistons, 570 cams, ported and polished. She pulls like a freight train and looks like a stock 88.
That's what l'm talking about right there, that's a sleeper! I didn't even go into 10.5:1 compression either, you and l both know what that bike is capable of 👍.
That thing has to haul ass
This is exactly why I went with a 95" build on my Softail, shorter stroke, sooner powerband and not mention the con rod angularity thing. I went with S&S Super Stock heads with 1.94 intake, 79cc, SE flat tops and matching jugs and I guess that puts me around 9.75:1 can comp, Andrews 37g, Mikuni 42 and Bassani Pro Streets... don't know how much HP or TQ I'm making, but it sure does haul ass! You are absolutely right Gixxer, not to count out the 95"... great segment as always!!!
by the way i have the same parts except s & s pistons and 585 cams 10.7 compression. 100.3hp 150nm. the torque is in the upper rpms. Some day i test woods cams.
Mine is a 03 FXD, 95 in. DarkHorse crank and H beam rods, Wood TW8G gear drive .590 cams. Mondello heads, 10.5-1 comp., DynaTek ign., Jetted carb etc.etc. Over 115 to the wheels and revs quik. I love it.
What's up mr .foo , I have an 02 road king with S&S 509 cams support plate and oil pump. I run a thundermax tuner . The local Indy took it for a ride and swore it has a 95 inch in it. I did my research and got the best cams for my application because I didn't want to pull the heads and change the springs for bigger cams. Bike runs absolutely flawless. 800 lb bike needs a torque cam to get her moving. She's real snappy and hits 80 really quick. My famous saying... Miles of smiles.... great stuff Mr Foo
That right there, your bike exemplifies exactly what l talk about the channel! Right cam, right parts and the right bike! I appreciate your support on the channel!
I have a carbureted 02 Electra Glide with a rebuilt Fueling component cam chest (hydraulic plate, tensioner shoes, high capacity oil pump, lifters) but I went with S&S 510 cams. The performance gain from the 510’s kick in at 3000 rpm’s. Or around 70 mph which is perfect for Highway cruising and passing. And that’s at half-throttle. I did this upgrade two years ago and it’s like having a new bike.
I love my 95 ci. I have a bit of a Frankenstein. 04 RK Classic fi. Power vision wide band o2 tuner, Bassani 2 into 1 , jp precision 2b heads.i got a set of 02 casses for the timken bearings, i got the casses cleared for a Woods tw6hg cam. The crank is welded plugged and trued.
Im pushing 190 ccp.
Om using pop up comp releases.
I keep up with the 114ci no problems...
I'm with you on this one. I had a 95" Zippers torque king kit on my 06 street glide that worked very well. It was a little lacking in hp but had a ton of torque. Even on car motors I prefer a big bore over a long stroke, for the very reason you've stated. Also strokers tend to run hotter.
Learned that with Small block Chevy vs BBC
I used to have a 2002 FXDWG and did the 95” kit with stock heads and a jet jet in the stock carb. I did add the s&s 510 gear drive cams and that thing was a runner!! Never put it on the dyno but I could pull and carry the front wheel through 2nd no problem!
I finally got that hammer 1275 kit with the 570 cams and xb heads. Its way more rowdy and sounds different too. Tons of torque! Your reviews help me make the choice to go with hammer. Keep it up! Love the Harley performance side
Thank you! That is awesome! That's an excellent street setup for a Sportster! It's a night and day difference, l hope you're enjoying it!
Right on man.. I have an 88 sporty that I stuck a hammer 1250 with a set of andrews V2s in it last year. Has a set of 87 bathtub chamber heads as well. I could only wish to have some xb heads on this year. they don't run on first Gen Evo sportys. Not real sure why, not really researched it, maybe gixxerfoo knows lol. I know yours has to run like a scalded dog because mine does and not near what ya got on yours lol. Hammer Performance makes solid kits for sure and nice dealing with them as well..
@@rustyshackleford4059 oh ya it runs so good. Its a whole new bike. My buddy has a similar build to mine ( 10.5:1 comp. 560 cams) his should be faster maybe it's my pipe idk. I was out running him at Partial throttle and short shifting because I'm still in the break in process. The amount of torque I have now is the most noticable difference so far. I'll report back after I Dyno it and can go full throttle to 7000 rpms.
@@clubstyleridahd4695 ya report back on the old ladies dusting you with her moped stuck in low gear.
@@slickwilly1099 ya because that makes a lot of sense right? In the Harley world there isn't much that can hang.. and if your talking about sport bikes I have one of those too and many other bikes. I've been riding for 16 years I've ridden all kinds of bikes. Explain what you are comparing it too that makes it slow?
I just got a 2000 model carbureted Dyna FXDWG with 22,022 miles. The bike is in near perfect original condition. The Guy threw in 2 extra seats and Sissy bar pads. One is the original seat and Sissy bar/pad, a luggage rack, a new Front tire, tube and Rim band in the box. Also, He gave me the original exhaust, (it has Vance&Hines staggered Straight shots now), a new H-D brand bike cover, and a Service Manual. I think I got a pretty good deal.
I plan to upgrade the Cams when it's time to replace the original Cam Chain Tensioner Shoes. Thanks for your videos and keep up the good work!
I think I'll upgrade to SE Hydraulic Cam Plate Chest, High volume oil pump and "Off the Shelf" parts like you mention here.
Pull the cover and check the tensioners
@@superplumber5 - I already did. The shoes have minor wear on both of them. I removed and inspected the fuel petcock and fuel strainer. I removed and cleaned the K&N Hi-Flo air cleaner. I did a 3 hole oil and filter change. I'm flushing and bleeding the brakes now. Gonna take the front wheel to the shop in the morning, to have the new tire installed. Gonna replace the brake pads also. I'm gonna ride it awhile before I do anything else to it.
It rides quite a bit different than my StreetGlide...
I’ve had my’05 road king 88 for 10 years and no complaints. Had a Vance &Hines Pro pipe when I bought it ( hated the sound). Made my own pipes and baffles that everyone I ride with says sounds great,though a little crispier tone like my irohead with homemade exhaust had. Never did have it re flashed and it’s been running better than ever. I’m happy with it as is,not planning to build it up .
My stock 2002 flhrsei with the 95 has always ran good enough for me. I have thought about cams and such, but I haul a pop up camping trailer with it, and has done well doing that for the last 20 years.
Thanks for the 95 praise. I have a 02. I can testify that this baby runs 👍👍
Right on! Those 95's are very strong motors, they will pull on built motors with much larger displacement all day long.
Same
Great video!
Exactly what I'm looking for. Some good performance that doesn't break my bank!
I don't need to have 10hp more for $2k-$3k. Around 100hp or just shy of it is enough for this old cowboy 🤠
Glad it helped! 100 horsepower goes a long way on a Harley, you'll feel the difference for sure!

carburetor, my 2002 RK I did the 95" S&S 9.7:1 piston and cylinder kit and S&S 510 gear drive cams. I'm running a Ramjet one piece intake manifold, Mikuni 42mm carb, Supertrap 2 into exhaust and Thunderheart coil and ignition. I'm very happy with the performance.
Great quality and information I’ve come to expect from this channel! Keep up the great work and research! Thank you!
Thank you! We really appreciate the support!
I look forward to these weekly videos
I’m afraid that I may be addicted to them!
I just bought a 2003 wide glide with the 95 kit just waiting to pick it up!!! Can’t wait
Sent the heads from my 2003 fxstdse to JET in Rhode Island for their CVN cnc shrink porting. Used their jet velocity stack and kn air filter, Andrews 37 conversion cams with had newer hydraulic chains and adjusters had screaming Eagle oil pump and cam plate (upgraded cam bearing) with screaming eagle2 mufflers. Claimed 91 hp and 106 torq. This actually sounds conservative with what this video goes into. Did give it a noticible bump from the factory (with se 203 cam) set up.
04 09 22 purchased a 2002 88 twin cam heritage. only 17828 mi. very clean scoot looks new. $9828.43 out the door. paid cash. It has a carb. I was a little bit shy about the 88. However the local wrench turner assured me the 88 is a good motor and says the same thing about upgrades that you say. Next winter going to turn this scoot into a beast. Thanks for your vids.
2002 was the last year of the timken bear and forged crank shaft. Make sure the cam tensioner system is upgraded and you will have one of the most reliable twin cams out there
I would bore & hone the cyclinders to a set of Wiesco 10&1/2 pistons if you want torque use a1.900 intake valve & A 1.630 ex valve along with high lift springs if you want all out HP the intake valve should be a 2 inch .I like to use a head off a 2006 & up ( a lot less material to remove to make a good head . Cams should be 585 lift to 635 lift . Forget about woods cams every one of those has what I call the woods drop )they make the power for a short minute then the power drops off just when you want it to keep pulling ! Want even more bore the cases to accept 4&1/8 bore cyclinders for 107 cu in ! The 95 is my choice the 107 RULES ! Short stroke big bore !
Just got mine back from the dyno. 85 hp with 90ft lbs. I’m running the 95”, fueling 525 camchest, with the Barnett scorpion a clutch.
Not bad at all on a 95 with that cam, curious what exhaust you're running though.
I bought a pair cylinders at a swap meet and had them bored while waiting for my heads to come back from branch flowmetrics ran their cam and pistons on my 02 fxdx turned a 10.22 on the dyno drags 107 hp 127 mph rode it 70000 miles with no probs
Thanks so much. Upgrading my screaming eagle 95 to tw6 and head work is the plan.
Good choice! That will be like a whole new bike!
Wud up Foo!! Here is my current 95" build with dyno tune. I just ordered some Wood TW-6 cams, obviously not a huge difference between these and my current S&S 510's but why not, I like playing. The best thing about these engines is that they love to rev and cruise at 2800-3k rpms. This bike rips, 0-100 mph she takes my buddy's 2021 107 softail and keeps right up with the 114's. Now mind you, this is thousands more than you need to spend to get the same or better number's.

Excellent content!!! My 06 EG classic has the SE Kit with the SE plate, oil pump, TTS Tuner, and Khrome Werks header and exhaust. My Dyno run had 92 ft lbs and 84 hp.. Your video could not have came at a better time as I'm looking to change the cam, and have some head work done. Looking to really see what I can really get out of my little 88!!! lol
Those really good numbers with a 88 honestly, you've got a great setup to build on. You put a 95 kit on top with a good cam and you'll have a whole new motorcycle. Great power and torque, best part is it will be reliable too. You'll be able to jump on it and go anywhere you want anytime.
95 kit w 96 ci heads w headwork, 543 cams, s&s crank, mikuni 42 via lightweight chain driven fxr. it runs pretty decent.
Exactly what I did with my FXR just a 585 cam. What hp/tQ you achieve??
The only time I really scared myself on a bike, was on a SE Deuce with the factory 95. Probably would've killed myself if it had better cams. That engine creates a rocket!
@@slickwilly1099 I gotta agree i lived 3 blocks from the piggley wiggley grocery store when i was a kid . I agree totally with you!! lol lol

They don't build them like they used to is all l can say. Those 95's pull so damn hard from that 4 inch stroke, you ride a 95 like yours then jump on a long stroke 96 with a cam and you'll feel the difference. The long stroke is lazy compared to the short stroke.
@@GixxerFoo THANK YOU SIR, I APPRECIATE the FEEDBACK. CARBED ALSO
That 95 kit and a five speed transmission that’ll make it hop
I have one of these in a 2001 RK. It was installed when the bike was new. I bought the bike wrecked with 25k mile - it sounded like the valve train would fail at any moment. Since then I've installed Feuling cam plate and gear drive tw-6hg (same cam that was originally installed, shimmed the rocker arm end clearance to under 0.010. Finished it out with Reinhardt tru-dual and a Ness super sucker. Ii have not had it dyno'd but believe it is over 100 hp. I also am disappointed with my 2008 SE 110 with the same set up. It's nearly putting ou 101 hp and 109 Ft/lb.
Seems about the right time for you to do a few vids on upgrading the M8 107. Everything from a Stage 1, to cams, to big bore kits. HD is starting to put them in the Softail frame, which means they're underappreciated & the time is fast approaching that the 107 will be disco'd.
I had on 02 FXDX that I did the stage 2 big bore jugs pistons and cams and I would routinely walk away from new 96 and lots of others
Thanks @GixxerFoo for this video. My 06 Road King with my 95” build is fun, and does alright with the bigger engines. The Feuling 543 Reaper cam is pretty stout. I run 10.5:1.
I googled “how to make a grenade” and this video came out 😂. My 88 was my favorite engine out of my harleys, but it blew up as well as tons of others that I knew who has them as well. Sucks they just can’t build reliable with their awesome fit finish and awesome sounding machines
The 88's had the tensioners that basically turned the engine into a grenade if left unchecked lol.
@@GixxerFoo yup! Now that I know, I wouldn’t hesitate to get another one, but do it up right.
I have a 06 Street Glide with the 95 kit with light weight/high compression pistons, an Andrews gear drive cam combo, polished and ported heads, stage 1 intake and PCIII tuner and it dyno tested at well over 100 hp and over 100 ft lbs torque. I can't remember the exact numbers but at almost 80k miles it is still running strong.
Now THAT sounds like a fun HD engine!
My 07 street glide has the big bore jugs, bored with a weisco piston 10.5 compression, ss ported heads with screamin eagle intake and throttle body tuned with a full true duel vance and hines exhaust and a custom grind cam. Its an absolute savage. Super super snappy. Eat 107's alive! Not even a match. It helps I've lightened the bike up some and I'm only 140lbs soaking wet lol
Great video bud. I’m a m8 guy but I still like watching
After this riding season this will happen 🇺🇸
It's worth the investment on an 88!
My fxdx has a 95 kit on it. Its ok for what it is.
A short stroke Twin as a Square Build ( 4x4 ) is a great engine for a light bike such as a Dyna or Softail riding locally. Without a doubt its a peppy engine and that 88in had the tried and true durable crank that was bolted together.
But to say the bigger stroke engines are a bit slower to jump up and run as quickly isnt the case. The cams with compression dictate the peak torque and horsepower regardless of displacement.
You smack the throttle on a big bore long stroke with a set of cams for torque. You better have a stout driveline to handle that level of power and have velcro on your seat, ass, gloves and grips.
I have seen bike engines bang a 120ft pds of torque at 2200 rpms and carry that and more out in the upper rpms.
I rode a 2002 Dyna Super Glide with a 95in stage 2 kit Mild head work with high lift springs, 48mm Mikuni Carb, Andrews TW54 set of cams and the original V&H Pro pipe. It was a great short ride bar hopper!!!
Big cams and hot compression will overcome a lot for sure, a 95 in a touring bike with a high torque cam works really well. With the 5 speed transmission it keep the motor right in that rpm range on the highway for great roll on passing.
@@GixxerFoo My current 124" in my 2008 Road Glide trike. Is a tractor engine. Compression is at 10.2 and I changed front and rear belt sprockets to a 30/70 ratio. Not sluggish at and any rpm and yes there is heat. Mostly due to the added weight and wind resistance of the trike body and my fat ass sitting on it. 😂😂😂
Just found this video while debating if i want to build my 88” road king or sell it. I think it might be fun learning to build it
I wish i would have realized that cams made such a big difference before.. once i had a broken exhaust stud on a 88… i took it to a dealership who ended up having to take the head off to drill out the stud.. i was mad because taking the motor apart costs an extra $500 in labour and they didn’t tell me until after they already did it. But they could have upsold me some cams at the same time and turned a negative into a positive… just shows how lousy of salesmen they are…. I ended up selling the bike a few years later because i wanted a faster bike.. now im wishing i would have just upgraded it back then.
Cams make all the difference and that's why the Screamin Eagle kits are so weak, they make the cams EPA legal.
Right on ; little monster -
Got my pistons gaskets ready ; waiting on cyl boring . Going to change out valve guide seals while heads off . I went with cast pistons 10:25 to one . Cam should bring that down a bit . 125 psi on compression test with stock pistons right now . High rpm recommend forged . Well the new rage around here is electric bicycles. Bidenomics I guess with the gas prices I guess.😁
✊🏻👍👌 thanks for the info 🙏
Not worried about sprocket bearing for hd when bigger and bigger with that same bearing . Fingers crossed 🤞-
I have the 203 cam an came out with 90 hp an 103 torque on my 95 kit
I went with fueling 575 cams straight gear drive fueling cam chest oil pump and it helped it but when I did the 95 inch bore and the heads on it it made it a rocket ship
what did you do to the heads?
@@johnippolito2376 the heads are basically stock just cleaned them up and they change the valve springs in them and put compression releases in them
@@johnippolito2376 it's really strong right off idle all the way up through the mid-range that's why I didn't Port anything they just polished the heads up I love it
You talked me into it !
Im running a dave mackie megasphere 95, 10.5-1 comp, ported and polished heads 510 cams. Runs great but a coil/ignition with a bigger carb would complete it.
Great post. My 2000 ultra 95 in , Runs with, and amuses my palls big boar hot rod bikes. Oh yea, I run Bob Woods Cams. Cheers

Hey GixxerFoo, super Video (as always) - pls keep up the great work! As far as my RK Custom SE 2005 goes, hell yes, what a beast! But after riding and enjoying it for more than a year, i am curious (as a Non-Mechanic) whats really in this TWIN CAM 88??? From the outside the Engine shows SE + CNC Ported + SE Exhaust + SE high flow air filter. The Pre-Owner said that `everthing` was done by the factory as a `full SE package`. Who can help?
Gixxer, you look EXACTLY like my first squad leader (Travis) when I joined the Army… doppelgänger.. fukn identical.. it’s crazy
Ok.. got that out.. are you a tech? Or just read a lot?
😄👍 nice! I worked in service, parts and sales in my career. I am just a guy turning wrenches in his garage these days but l read a lot too. Thinking you know it all is what gets you in trouble. I work on bikes and l have my way of doing things but always open to opinions and ideas to integrate into my own way of building bikes.
thank you
Welcome!
U bet cha! Love it . V@h propipe. Rocking out
Rock on!
Loved this one man!....especially cause I just bought a used road king. The dude said he put a 95" kit in it with 525 cams. I don't have any numbers but this thing pulls pretty good. It'll run 100 mph at 3 grand. Are those 525 cams a fueling cam?...he didn't know cause a shop did the work. Also it has stock heads with true duals so headwork and a 2 into 1 with a hpi throttle body should be a huge performance boost would you agree?....any advice from you is well received man love your channel
525’s are the Feuling Reaper cams.
Yeah Feuling cams, I would go for the head work and the exhaust and see where you land. Throttle bodies are crazy expensive and being a 95 it may not be of much benefit to add a throttle body. Now having the throttle body ported wouldn't be a bad idea at all and Hammer Performance does that like 100 bucks.
Thanks man. I had a hpi throttle body on my built 103 and it was pretty damn amazing....with ported heads, bigger jets and 90 degree air filter
It was a damn strong running engine but you could fry an egg on the rocker box covers
Good morning 🌅, GixxerFoo, As I have said before, been there, done it, and got the T shirt, well worth it, now trying to do it again, but it is not knowing what the previous owners has done, and from what I can see S&S 510g cams , HSR 42, and it runs like shit, so starting from scratch, Very Big Problem, waiting for parts, France,
That's rough going back over someone else's work when you've got a problem like that. Sounds like you've already got it apart and found a lot of things you didn't want to see in there.
@@GixxerFoo yes I don’t know if it’s as had big bore kit, 88 to a 95 , it is not running right, I have just rebuilt the HSR again with all new jets, as I couldn’t see the size of jets, so I have put the same size that was in my original engine, apart from taking the heads off I don’t think I could find out what size it is, someone has definitely been inside the primary side, as it has got some off the market seals inside, As I mentioned, it has had a set of S&S cams put in it, but it still got the original back plate, and I can’t quite see whether the oil pump has been changed, and the cams are get driven, I wished I’ve got indefinite funds to throw at it, as I would strip the whole engine down completely, I was hoping to have it back on the road by now, though saying that my weather is not very good, And hopefully I’ll catch up with you later tonight when you upload your next UA-cam,
France
Iv mentioned it befor on your videos but my 03 FLHRCI 95ci stage 4 with mild Andrews 37G cam im at 100hp 107lbft.
Andrews makes a hell of a cam! The right cam makes all the difference, those are some really good numbers and that's reliable power!
Dude. thanks for these videos. Gotta do this.
I'm here because of the beautiful screen shot.
I have an 2002 heritage softail with a Jerry branch complete 95 kit with heads and cams. Let me tell you she a screamer and will out run a stock 114 M-8.
You nailed it!
Thank you!
I've watched this video a couple of times now and you have me seriously considering changing out my Andrews TW26 cams with the Wood TW6. I had the TW26 cams installed as part of a stage 2 upgrade, but I didn't go with a hydraulic cam chain tensioner because at 37,000 miles there didn't seem to be enough wear to bother. I now want to do a stage 3 big bore kit on my 2006 feul injected Road King and maybe do the Wood TW6 cams plus the hydraulic tensioner. 104HP and 116 ft lbs tq ain't nothing to sneeze at! I do like the TW26 cams though because they come in at 1800/2000 rpm and pull like hell to as fast as I'm will to go, but the dyno chart of the TW6 cams look like they kick in right at 2000 rpm as well.
Very happy with my 1999 95" tc. I would however love an extra 100 hp on top of the 100 I have.
then buy a victory. or indian.
Do you have a Harley shop. If so where is it
Thanks for the great videos
Regarding S.E. parts, I'm biased against, because I feel The Motor Co. should have put bigger cams in from the start. Unless, they are limited, due to emmissions constraints, then I relent. Still, I'd rather look into Woods, Reaper, S&S, or similar for aftermarket goodies.
Good content Sir, looking at rebuilding my carbie 04 Deuce soon so this is a great help.
Cheers
Thank you, l appreciate the support! That's a classic bike and even if they made a new Softail of it today it wouldn't be same. Keep me updated on your build!
Question for you Gixxer Foo, I am dealing with HD shop in my area. Going for the 95 BB kit from S&S and adding 509 S&S cams. I just need to be able to pass some cars and all 18 wheelers. I just need passing power, is this combination a good move? Please give me your thoughts please so I can do this once and be done with it for good. I will be waiting for your positive comments, thank you.
I put the 95" kit on my '06 Deluxe and went with the SE204 cams instead of the SE203 that comes with the kit. Coupled with the high flow air filter backplate and V&H exhaust, my bike was dyno'ed at the dealer with the SE race tuner and returned 90.2 horsepower and 99.7 torque. I imagine some headwork and a better tuner that isn't locked in to premade maps will do better, but it is a noticeable difference over stock and it idles with a decent lope!
I did this to my bike tw6 cams and heads were ported polished and spring kit
Would it be cheaper to get a 96 and swap them?
I have a twin cam, lower sent to dark horse stock stroke 100 in big bore kit Sand S heads that been flowed roller rockers and I can't decide what is going to squeeze every ounce of hp , should I use solid lifters or hydraulic maybe you could shine some light on that for me is it worth the hassle of readjusting your valve lash,I also have 585 cams S and S of course
Great content as always keep the job homie Gixxer. Regards...
Hammer performance 98” big bore kit would go best with which cams?
Depends what you want to do with it, but with the 10.5:1 compression if you had the heads done with springs the Wood TW-8 would really make it rip! If you're running stock heads a TW-6 would be a good match.
I would love you to do a review of a 124r engine
Hey GixxerFoo thanks for putting out great content and all kinds of valuable hands on knowledge. I have an 06 Electra glide so far I’ve done the 95 kit se pistons, se heads s&s 510 gear drive cams fueling cam plate, se 90 degree air breather and thunder header 2 into 1. I Haven’t had it tuned yet but I’m wondering if I’m getting pretty much all I can get out of a 95 build. I think I was expecting a bigger difference in seat dyno. Would you recommend a different cam choice maybe , I’d like it to pull harder or am I expecting too much out of a 95.
Wood makes some pretty good cam that will day down some power all over the chart. The cam you have is really meant to run with the stock heads and compression, a cam swap would really benefit you quite a bit. Since you've got the heads a Wood TW-8 is a pretty hot cam that will really make it run hard.
@@GixxerFoo Okay that sounds good, I think I’ll order the the TW-8 and then get it tuned and see what it feels like. Thank you for assistance I appreciate it.
95 is the best u can do and be reliable!!!!!
Very tempting, not sure if this is a wise thing to do on a 160k kilometer '88 electra glide. 🤔
It would be difficult to turn a evo I to a twin cam. Hey, that would be cool, it's not been done before. My opinion is a evo is better to have than any twin cam
@@whatyoumakeofit6635 ha no, that would be difficult. 88"cubics i meant. Its a 2004 EG. 😬🙂
Ok , so I have this same setup in an 04 softail . With the largest screaming Eagle cam , stage 2 I believe. With Zippers heads . Tuned when it was installed at 102 HP / 104 FPT . Lots of fun !
Problem I’ve been having since is when I’m hammering on it , highway riding , coming to a slow down or stop the bike idles down to a complete shut off . Also an serious lack in power . Starts right back up and idles fine . I’ve had this bike in a few shops , zero solution . We’ve changed throttle body , and a few other small things . Anyone have any knowledge to share , I’d greatly appreciate it . I’m seriously lost on this one ! Thx y’all have an awesome day 🤘🏼😎
Great video, again !! Very useful information !
You should do a video covering the 95" HTCC builds. I'm in the middle of one and can find no videos anywhere referencing them.
GixerFoo, isn’t that 100 HP, 100 ft. pounds of torque more that the stock 88 TC crank and bearings (not the tapered Timken) can handle? If so then you added another $1500 to do the bottom end right.
What about if an 88 is bumped up to a 100”
