Way impressive Scott. My godson, Del Dysart, sent his 2004 EGC bagger back to Geo Bryce at Star Racing 5 years ago for a S&S 124
transplant. Came back at 146 hp and 152 tq using S&S .640 cams. He's finally getting around to swapping out pulleys for more gear but
has never taken it to the track yet.

Default 10k mile report

Hey everyone! Just rode about 300 miles today and getting 44 mph solid! NGK iridium plugs really helped over the 6R12 plugs. Engine seems to be running better every time I ride it. It might still be breaking in but it's running absolutely wonderful and I couldn't ask for better. Just keeps pulling everywhere! 10k miles so far.

Nice report! I have about 10k on my 124. Pulls everywhere as well and very mild mannered. What was your plug number? Going to change mine out next service.
