just a reminder if you don't want to miss out on any riding time then make sure to head down to Cycleworks and order your "clutch retainers" early, that way if you don't know how to use a wrench and manage to screw one up, they won't have to tell you to fawk off in mid-season when you waltz in the door with your head up a$$ and demand that they take one off a perfectly good running showroom sled.

Since some people (won't say who but we all know) can't seem to figure out the distinction of a "big bore" vs "overbore", I guess we should clarify standard terminology that's been around for...oh I don't know....40 yrs at least and used by most engine builders. You'd think that people who claim they are so very "engine savvy" would already know this very fundamental and basic terminology.
Traditionally Big Bore kits were standard aftermarket items that require either new cylinders or the sleeving of stock cylinders that cannot be bored beyond a certain percentage or diameter. In the past, Big Bore kits were only available in displacements greater than the largest overbore size available for the stock cylinder, however some aftermarket manufacturers are now calling a stock ovebore a "big bore" (RK Tek 827 or any 860 kit for example), even though they say it's a stock cylinder overbore right in the product description. Marketing hype to allow the consumer to say they have a big bore IMO.
Overboring is the boring of a standard factory cylinder to a greater displacement using the stock cylinder configuration.
A big bore is not a stock cylinder overbored 0.020". What that is, is a stock cylinder overbored 0.020". We can play semantics all day about a bigger bore being a bigger bore, so you can call it a big bore if you want. Whatever. I really could care less what you call it.
Hey look something shiny.....
