Ultima 140? Anybody have one? Dealer is local. Comes with 6 speed. Belt drive. Big starter
I want to be sure I can get 15,000 miles out of it before I have to touch it 8 k doesn't sound bad when it includes complete motor/trans. Wonder what real torque numbers are?

Does your frame have the space for the extra 5/8" added height?

John at Mia Cycles has built one stock height, to his own secret recipe! Personally I would only buy a custom-built Ultima, not a crate one. We have at least two Johns who can probably do that!

TP engineering will build ya a 121 in 3 to 4 weeks under 7k, only size they are building now. Nice having them local too. Im running a plus 1 clutch kit, stock starter (compression releases do job fine), thinking on exhaust right now, wanting a 6speed or change compensator?...... 2 year unlimited mileage warranty

Not my primary bike anymore. So it can come apart every year. I just don't want it too do it on its own. Lol. Little frame mods no problem as I build race chassis/ hot rods. But I don't know anybody around here with even a 113

I still need to run into u someday to check out your 121. That sounds like the way to go. I just don't want to do it twice. Want big. More than I need. And only want to buy it one time. Pulling it apart and screwing with it I can handle ever now and than. I want something that will scare the living ..... Out of me. That ain't easy!!!!!

A 121" 124" or 127" isn't going to scare you in a big bike, it will amaze you on how fast they can move a big bike but scared no. Your going to have to take the big engine apart and send it out to reach it's full potential. Even with a Ultima 127", it takes alot of work to get to a true 140-150 hp and doesn't scare me, just cool as heck that a cadillac can accellerate.

If you want stupid power then a big cube engine with a turbo or another option is buy a 140" and have Ultima specialist John Sachs port the heads, bump the compression, jump the cam up, John has been coming up with engines that stand out in the dyno forums with Twinkie engines that is applauded by the numbers people and always a secret cam.

Attached John's email and a straight shooter that gets to the point, has always returned my emails and phone calls. John had a customer put a 113" Ultima on another forums updated dyno section that hit 139 hp. send him a email and he will be honest of your desires. Check out some older numbers on the Nightrider dyno section plus a turbo charged Sportster in the 160 hp range, Johns name will present
