the stock motor can easily go 100,000 miles. very reliable. i can't speak to the 108 kit. bigger motor, more heat. i don't know.

I have not heard of any reliability issues with the 108, if I were to do it I would go the nikasil route instead of the sleeve as the heat transfer capability is better

That's where I came from in 2001 when the first Power Cruisers arrived. I had to have POWER and Handling and when I saw the Warrior I fell in Love. I just love the Hot Rod look of the bike back then and now. The other power cruisers being the V-Rod, Kawasaki Mean Streak and the Honda VTX. In nearly all of the comparisons of the four the Warrior usually took it in Handling and the V-Rod in Power. So I purchased the first or second Warrior in Northern Ohio figuring I’d take the $4 - $5,000.00 difference between the two and pour it into my Warrior with the complete Stage IV kit. It was well worth it and I even changed the forth gear and pulley size. When I did my Stage IV kit there was just the very beginning of talk about the Big Bore Cylinder coming out. So I never had the chance to make a proper decision on them. BUT IT’S NEVER TOO LATE!!!
