So a question for those that did the 124" build or engine replacement. What other upgrades did you do to handle the increase in power such as clutch?

 

Bandit Sportsman clutch. Stock basket. Diamond chain. Baker compensator and adjuster. So far, so good!

 

Barnett Scorpion with a lockup pressure plate, Barnett billet basket, kept my SE compensator and stock tensioner. Staggered the gold/green springs on the clutch. Clutch pull feels similar to the SE heavy diaphragm spring that I had in there before.

 

Smart, gotta have the full upgrade in there, with the billet basket. No shortcuts-Way too much risk of big time damage to a guys entire primary and possibly engine, cause they went with a stock basket running double the HP of a stock set up. There is also the very good possibility that when it blows, it will lock up the rear wheel, so pray your not at freeway speed if it does.
Just saw a guy I know go thru an exploded basket issue, despite me telling him several times to replace that basket. Had to redo his entire primary set up$.
Pay now a little, or pay later a lot$$$, and do it all right, or don't do it at all.

 

 

Got 1500 miles on the 124" and looking forward to a fine tune as soon as they can get it in. Runs very smooth on the highway.

 

June 15th is the date for the final tune. After many rides I will say that PWmorris is correct. There's no way it's even going to be close to 140. It pulls hard but not that hard. The truth will come to surface on June 15th. Probably not even 130 but runs very smooth with usable power. Power comes right on from the getgo. No downshifting for anything. Can't even get the engine hot. Just cool running all day bagger power. I'm happy.

 

 

I do believe it has a very conservative break in tune right now so it's hard to say for sure but it pulls very hard with no lag at all which is what I was after. We'll see what happens when they wake it up but I'm already very happy with where the power is at. Very useful power band.

 

Ok the bike goes in for a final tune on Friday June 15th but here's the report so far. Power comes on very early flattening any hill, getting 36-37 mpg @ 75 mph, hottest oil temperature so far has been 208 degrees Fahrenheit at 100 degrees running 2 ten row oil coolers. Very satisfied. Can't wait to see how it runs after the final tune!
