I got mine from V-Twin. Was it the piston or the rings or the cylinder?

[Sport1387]

Did you run it with the original carb first? How much do they run$? Did you dyno it?

Which compression ratio option did you go with (9.5:1 or 10:1) and with SE ignition?

[Sport1387]

9.5:1

Great pics. Did you change to 1200 heads or run the stock 883s? What about cams? If you are running the stock heads, which pistons did you use?

[Sport1387]

I used the V-Twin kit with my 883 heads and the kit had Wiseco pistons , cylinders, rings etc. I took the economy route so I didn't change the cams or heads. I re jetted, SE air cleaner, SE ignition, and pipes. A lot more power and torque

did my own 3 years ago and never a problem. Kept the 883 heads and used wiseco pistons. Did put a mikuni HSR 42 on her, big difference.
