S&S 111". Pulled the trigger.
This is probably true. Their 111 is a really solid build. Reliable, strong and priced relatively well.

Just went to the S&S website and saw that the T111 comes with a throttle body and Teardrop ac, I thought when you said you were keeping the stock tb, it was the one on your bike now - I would not change out the one that comes with the motor. Maybe just a new clutch and a tune unless you decide to swap out your pipes too.
Should be a blast!

Hell yeah, that'll be sahweeett!
Reading on the S&S site and then what you guys are talking about, when it says they don't make complete engines, what is it they are lacking to make it complete?

Not sure. Pretty sure I just bought one! Hahaha...
Nah, maybe it's just the year bike you are looking at. I know they don't offer full replacement motors for all models and all years.

So.... What hoops am I gonna need to jump thru to get this reg'd in CA? Looks like it's not legal in this state.
I'm sorta tripping. Anyone reg'd a crate motor here? What can I expect...?

124 here
I put a 124 in my 2004 FXDX, its a beast. I had a Thunderheader on it there went to a Supertrapp to quiet it down.
The 124 has a longer strike therefore a taller engine and needs the oil line kit as it sit lower.
Mine is a carbed bike, your FI with 111 should be a scream to ride.
You get a title from S&S for the motor and you take that to DMV and they adjust the bike title.
If you are at some events there are cops that check engine to frame Vins and I have heard of them seizing the bike until you can prove ownership.
If you are worried about being legal in CA register the bike in AZ or the like and register in your buddies name AND/OR yours then its just like its in your name.
I have heard of guys doing that with modded cars.
You sure you can't get the 111 legal with the right exhaust and tune?

I've heard of dudes reg'ing their bikes out of state, to ol ladies and things of that nature, before. Sounds like a hassle...
I've talked to some folks that have had their cases swapped and it sounds like the DMV / CHP is only interested in that the new items are not stolen. I will keep my fingers crossed that that is the case when I take my papers to them...
Not sure the not for street use is due to the tune, but I doubt it's any dirtier... S&S probably just hasn't paid the "taxes" to get the appropriate EPA / CARB certifications.
