Default S&S 124" bagger build

Well, I just dropped off my 2008 Eglide for a S&S 124" build! It has been a long time coming and I finally got started on it! 10.8 cr, 91cc heads, 635 H.O. cams, D&D Boarzilla, 58mm HPI TB, 6.7 injectors, Rivera Game Changer, Timken conversion. Considering the S&S T3 cam plate & oil pump but not sure. Many thanks to this forum and others in helping me select the parts for my build. We'll see how it works! I will post the results and better details after the build is complete. Maybe my experience will help somebody else decide on theirs.

I have a crate 124 LC in my Street Glide and I can't say enough about the rush I get every time I ride my bike. Made my extra poundage completely disappear and then some @ 130HP 141 Ft-lbs of torque

So I can only imagine what you're going to get out of a build! Will be checking back in!

That looks like a very solid combo of parts. Anxious to see how it does!

I have decided to go with the TC3 Cam plate and oil pump.

I agree and the cam plate and oil pump are superior to the stock cam plate and oil pump. Oil pressure is adjustable that is also a nice feature
