The 4.250" bore kits from anyone, have a history of gasket leaks, as the clamping force is spread over too much distance.
No issues boring the OE cases to that spigot dimension, as they are certainly strong enough.

I became interested only after I seen that RP has jugs with the matching granite. I was looking for the next upgrade because I have a friend with a bagger using a G2 126 and he can walk by me. Damn that peer pressure anyway....

How signifiant does lower compression, ie 10:5 vs 11:1, 11:5, help reduce this problem?  I,ve read some stories from guy's stating their nightmares began once they bumped compression. And typically, how much HP increase do you see with these big inch motors when go 10:1 to 11:5-12:5 compression??  Seems a lot of folks are going to higher compression motors, how are they getting these motors to run half decent on pump gas???

My 124 was using 10.5 pistons with a corrected compression of around 9.7.  Never pinged and ran great, but still went through head gaskets.

Is three cubes going to be worth the money?

Hardly seems worth the effort. I'm not sure I'd even be interested in the effort for 7cubes. I would have been interested in an upgrade from 110 to 124 but the problems highlighted on blown head gaskets definitely make me hesitate.

I feel the same way. If a man has two bikes and can risk motor issues and has buckets of cash then a what the heck attitude would be in order.

No 3 cubes would not be worth it to me, but if I had to replace cylinders and pistons due to piston slop like some have.  Then the RP cylinders would be worth the upgrade.
Not so much for the 3 cubes but the better made cylinder.
