Default S&S 111" Motor

Does anyone have any opinion on the s&s 111? I'm just gettin ready to buy a new motor for my evo road king and saw that they have a pretty good sale goin on these motors right now. I'm just not familiar with the 111. Thanks for any info from anybody that would know about these.

I've got a 111 S&S in my American IronHorse. I was curious how it would perform compared to the 88 engine in my Harley. The difference was quite noticeable --- the 111 is much more powerful. I think it was rated at 110 HP. I don't know if that's legitimate or not but I do know that it is more powerful through the entire RPM range compared to the 88. It does burn a little more gas but that is to be expected.

excellent motor, square motor, best ones are that, bore and stroke are the same, this makes for a very smooth, and powerful combination, without getting all technical

Uhh....I'd say "good engine".....Bro/law had a 111" S&S SuperSidewinder w/SuperG carb/SuperStock heads in his IronHorse Outlaw......scary fast compared to Harley....pull'd like a train thru all 6 gears......eat an SE 110 for a snack and ask for seconds.........there's some pics of him on the Dragon w/this bike someplace(Kilroy,I think)
