I'm moving to Austin Texas in a couple of weeks and looking to do a 124"+ on my 17 Road King. I could have it done here in NY and shipped down later but I'd rather do it where I'm going to be living in case of issues/upgrades. I've tried searching but haven't found anything useful and was hoping for some suggestions.
Talk to Nick; owner, builder tuner. Helped me with a 98" build plan I put together. I was traveling a lot at the time and for the first time ever, I let someone else turn the wrenches. The little 98" motor makes 115/115. Don't even bother looking anywhere else. Nick will work with you to put a build plan together, build it, break it in the dyno and tune if that is what you want.
You can tell him Don from San Antonio sent you. He is usually busy in the shop and email is not his strong suit but you can try. Last time I visited, his wife was managing the phones so you should try both.
