An FXR2 is a great score. You'll have fun with that for sure!

I'm not toying with the idea of putting a FXRD front fairing on it.

So I've ran into a snag with the motor, I'm gonna have to wait until Ultima releases the Mikuni style intake for the 120. I have the S&S flanged style, even with the adapter it sticks out too far.

Also with this Race Tech front end kit, how do I know what springs to put on the Gold Valves? Should I just call Racetech?

I love those fairings. I keep going back & forth on it myself. But I highly expect I'll eventually give in and do it.

Sounds like that might be a while until it's produced. How about running the Ultima S&S clone until then?

Yep, I would certainly get their opinion first.

Fairing for sure. Good luck getting it together. Just takes time and money. Do you have another bike to ride?

Looks cool-
Build it the way you want it, just keep ALL the old parts somewhere (don't sell them).
As far as the intake, why not run a XXX S&S G carb? You will never miss the Mik-
