The new Softail Slim S allows for the 110B direct from the factory and is street legal plus it's covered under new bike warranty. I understand that one.
Next the 120R. From what I read is no longer available?
120ST. The 120ST is an A type motor that can not be installed in a HD Softail model? Is this true? If so, what HD models support this engine?
Depending if you are buying new or other considerations- look at S&S also - the 124. I personally would recommend the S&S 124 over any of the 3 you listed ...
You can add JIMS 120 and 131 to your list, available as H-D approved engines from your local dealer. Which model of bike are you thinking of fitting a new engine in?

Those are also considered "race only" engines so there is no warranty.
They just e-mailed me and stated a one year warranty on both engines IF one follows with their recommendations on other parts to compliment these two engines.

The ST motor will carry a warranty.
The R motor will not.

Bore your existing engine cases and install an S&S 124" kit.
Any good shop will generally warranty what they do.
