The 883 is a small light bike. You would have to do the same to get what he has from a harley.
It would be nice if they made a big bore kit for ours that was a jug, head, pistons, and wrist pins. Instead of that bore and sleeve mess.

I still think this may be a cheaper way of getting what you are looking for.

989cc - 10.5:1 compression 92mm bore kit designed for all Triumph powered twins post 2001 for street application. This kit requires the following engine modifications and components:
BP 989 Piston kit
Barnett Clutch and Spring Kit
Bore & Sleeve factory Cylinders
BP MLS Gasket kit
Remove Crankshaft Counter Balancers
install Dynamically balanced Stroke Crankshaft 6mm
Carrillo Rods 989cc - stroker 88-94 hp 70 - 74 ft lbs.*

Not that what I say matters at all.





I see where your going but lets look at this money wise,

Harley 883 £4800 on a 2007 plate
Triumph £3500 trade in 2005 plate

I got a mate who has pistons and sleeves = free, so gaskets and bore = £ 150 (est)

I just got a cheap kit for the Triumph to get to 904 and that came in at £600 (I fitted it)

The money argument falls down.. Tomorrow I ride the 883 that Im interested in, also going to take a ride on my mates hacked 1200 to compare.

Will report back ASAP
