NL... lol it is Newfoundland Canada not that far away.
3 commando from the Canadian Airborne Regiment, and the start of JTF and other govt agencies for 5-6 years.
I am on the fence re. 120r, there seems to be a lot of engine problems. If you putt around you won`t have a problem but I drive my bike like I stole it...
I`m thinking about the 110 tire shredder kit also.. it seems it might be better for not breaking down. Do you know anyone running the tire shredder kit?

What's it going in? I wouldn't go with a 120R and I don't think there's any "tire shredding" going on with that 110 kit.Haha! What's you budget?

You would be mistaken. The Stage V 110" Tire Shredder kit is actually a pretty decent setup; maybe the best HD has brought to market yet. Some putting out 125/125 numbers which will shred some tire. Not a big fan of HD kits but as the 110/117 bolt in kits go, many options, reasonably priced, decent performance and great options for the non DIY crowd.

Nice, we were just looking at the maroon and black CVO breakout this weekend. Very nice.

Have you seen the fuel moto 120 kit, on facebook they just posted their the first to get into the 140 hp/tq range on the new engines. Might want to look at Fuel Moto?

Nice, back in 1996-97 I trained (drank) with some of the Canadian Airborne guys (from the deactivated unit). During a Nato Artillery/Mortar indirect fire competition in Turkey. I was stationed in Italy at the time, fun bunch of troopers!

I just looked at the web site, I like the 124 outlaw crate engine....
I should drive the **** out of my bike this year and install the crate engine next year

I use to drive crotch rockets in the past, my last one was a Honda Rc21, 240Hp back wheel.. bike weight, 385lbs. The bike was like being shop off a carrier, literally disappear in seconds.

Any top end "kit" can be made to produce eye catching numbers but the OP also had concerns in regards to reliability in which I would also putting the squeeze on a stock bottom end to get em. OP, I went with R/R cycles for my hp fix great bunch of guys and wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Reliability is my main concern over HP. My night rod and fat bob were reliable with stage 1 kits... no HP though.
