I am running S&S 124" with S&S super G, straight pipes, so far the bike is running strong (7,000 miles). The only thing is during decelerating it back fires. They said it's normal because of the straight pipes and no baffle. I get used to it now, and it doesn't seem to cause any problem.

Wow, the stock power is already feels like a train. It is hard for me to hang on to the ape hanger with WOT. Anyway, what kinda head works? What is the estimated gain?

My 4th season on mine and it just keeps getting stronger.A friend I blew by the other day says mine was puffing a little black.The ThunderJet on a Super G,might be a little rich,what do you think Randy?

The 124's we have done see 140-145 torque and hp, rev 1-1/2 to 2 seconds quicker and cool down 20-to 30 degrees.

i had a S&S 124 fueled by a davinci Gin my '93 FLHS, tons of power, would wheelie three gears without hammering the clutch, smoke the tire with a twist of the wick, i broke it in by the book, and it popped the head studs front & read at 8000 miles............. it was fun while it lasted !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
