Default 113 Dyna vs 120R road glide

Which way did it go?
Get it right and win a night in the big dog house with pizza and beer.
Oh, and the 2 dogs LOL
It's plenty big enough for a couple of guys to get all stretched out in.

I doubt taking his bags off would have helped him enough.
meet the rider and we talked fer a spell and we gave it a try.
Cool guy, it was for fun. I will say it was no slouch. I was very impressed.
he is the type of fellow that I would be happy to ride with anytime, anywhere.
Really a cool dude.
Who knows it could be different next time.

The a Dyna has just over 100 LB advantage in the power/weight arena. The SG might have a slight launch advantage. Overall, I'd bet on the a Dyna given similar rider skills.

I have 8 years professional drag racing behind my belt.
I had been wanting to try a 120r, thinking about adding one in my cvo.
Nothing about this was serious. It was all about the fun factor.
How I see it, the 113 is a small block and the 120r is a big block.
The only time I am serious is on the track.
This was my first against a 120r, been against several different bikes though.
We were just having fun nothing more.
I was expecting him to get me.
It sure was fun , would not have mattered to me who got to the end first, we were just enjoying ourselves.

Lol. My bad. I read your post wrong. I thought you were asking what bike did we think you "bought". Like you were trying to decide between the two. In a race I would think those two would be pretty close given the difference in weight.

Hmmm, assuming the 120R is stock built out of the box I just wonder what other work has been done to the 117 besides displacement. Assuming similar components all else being equal I would tilt my hat towards the Dyna for PTWR.

I have no idea what has been done, Could be just a crate engine as far as I know.
I thought the 120r is rated at 126 hp, 130+- tq.
My 113 is built as bullet prof as one can be.
Stage 4 heads, welded, pinned, balanced crank with light weight H rods, SS585 gear cams, SE cam plate, Custom built throttle body for my build. It came very close to what we were looking for. I am using the 05 super glide ecm. My tuner can do anything with a factory ecm that anything out there can do.
