Can you even do that without replacing cylinders? I wasn't aware that you could.

When I did the '95 a few years back, the gasket set had both size head gaskets so it was good for a 883 or 1200. I can't remember if it was a james or cometic. Everything else was the same. I think the bore job cost me about $175 because I took the jugs and pistons to the dealer and they sent them out. Great upgrade.
Guess I stand corrected... I just would've thought that going that much bigger in the bore would leave the cylinders walls to thin... Know I know it can be done.When I did the '95 a few years back, the gasket set had both size head gaskets so it was good for a 883 or 1200. I can't remember if it was a james or cometic.

Supposed to be better acceleration and lower top speed. The 883 heads don't flow as good stock with the stock intake valves being a little smaller too. I was planning to eventually put buell heads and flat top pistons on mine so I put andrews n-8 cams in, but never got around to doing the extra work as it ran pretty darn good as it was. I don't think the cast iron sleeve is thick enough to be bored on the new ones also. I think you can just change the output sprocket and belt to change the gearing. (easy on a sporty)
I didn't have any clearance problems with the Ross pistons I used, they had pretty deep valve pockets.
