I e-mailed S&S Cycles regarding why I could not fit their S​&S T124 Long Bloc​k Blac​k Edit​ion Engi​ne with 640 Cams​hafts onto a new HD Breakout model.


Message (their response was):

Because it is a softail which uses a B style crankcase. Due to patent issues we cannot make the B style crankcase, however we can build you a complete B style engine using SE crankcases. Call our sales line for more details and pricing.

What is the difference between a B style crankcase vs an SE crankcase? Thanks.

 

B engine is counter balanced. Different cases than the A engine.

 

OP, that's why I revered you to star racing. The have a 124 b style , in black. Not cheap though. Did my pm come through by the way.

 

cdonis: Got your PM. Thanks much. I e-mailed S&S Cycle. This was their response to my question about replacing the stock 103 with their 124T engine. Why can't I fit your S​&S T124 Long Bloc​k Blac​k Edit​ion Engi​ne with 640 Cams​hafts onto a new HD Breakout model?

Because it is a softail which uses a B style crankcase. Due to patent issues we cannot make the B style crankcase, however we can build you a complete B style engine using SE crankcases. Call our sales line for more details and pricing. Then I asked what the difference was between an SE crankcase vs a B style one. Was told the former is a Screamin Eagle one which comes from HD's high performance segment. So I conclude if they made me one it would be in essence a HD engine not an S&S engine?? It's all confusing to me that's why I'm asking all these questions here. I have read on this forum that most agree the S&S engines are the best if one wants a high performance engine.

And J&P Cycles e-mailed me their response.

I already own a 2016 BMW K1600GT. Have slip ons on it. Never ride with those fugly bags on it either. It's a great riding/handling bike. I now want to customize a Breakout and replace the stock engine with a higher performance one. Their CVO Breakout has the 110 in it but I want some more HP. I sure like the specs on the S&S T124 long block black edition engine.

 

cdonis: I failed to mention that I saw (on R&R Cycles website) their 124 long block for $7K but its an A engine. I do not know if their (very expensive) Billet 131" 2 Cam Engine would fit in a Breakout.
