How many miles do you have on the 120r?
Have you had any issues?
I have a stage iv on my 10 street glide. I lost a cam bearing that took out the lower end, and probably a cylinder. Now looking at installing a 120r. ; ' )
Thanks for you input!

Did you not have the Torrington inner cam bearings installed with the stage 4 kit?

I only have about 2,000 miles on mine so far, but no issues at this point. Engine STRONG! There are 120R owners with close to 20K miles on these boards. I've only heard of 1 failure on these boards so far.

I have about 7000 on mine with no problems. The fuel mileage is a lot better than I thought it would be, but the power could be better. Probably cheaper to get a crate 120 than rebuild your engine.

Yeah I think im going with the 120r. I have a total of 34,000 miles on the bike. Just hoping to hear of some going 40 or 50 thousand miles by now. Nothing like that reassuring feeling, ya know? Since I had the stage IV, I only need the engine, I have all of the other stuff needed: exhaust,intake, comp sproket etc. But prolly need to check that SECS out closer though.

If you are going that route, also consider the Harley sanctioned Jims 131 and 135 engines. They can be left bone stock, but use stronger components. I dream about having a 120R, but the Jims is truly the ultimate dream.
