111" it is
I have been trying to decide between an 89" stroker and a 111" S&S.
A buddy of mine says he can get me a new S&S 111" for $4,525 + shipping.
I just can't pass that up!!!!!!!!!!

I think I would take a step back. That's probably about what your whole bike is worth. I guess another way to look at is, if you took $4,500 and spent it on something else on your bike or existing engine, what would you end up with? Would it be something you like better than that engine?
I just always look at things from many different angles since I don't part with money easily. I know huh. What the hell am I doing in free spending Evo Land? LOL
Eight bucks baby! That's what I am talking about!

The PO of the softail wants it back and is trying hard to come up with the money for it.

It would make about the same power and would be a little torquier.
This would be all I could do to the motor without doing something stupid like boring the cases.
The 111" is a square motor (same stoke and bore).
I can tweak this motor for even more should I decide to.
Man I could have bought another bike for what I already have in mine!!!!
I tried a lot of experiments. Some worked some failed.
My Heritage is still cheaper than any female I've had for the same amount of time!!!!!!
BTW I have a Baker 5 speed with case fixin' to go in this winter!!!!

One thing about it, you store your 80"evo in the S&S box and can always revert if something comes up, my 20K mile perfect condition reman is tucked away nicely.

Since you got the tranny squared away you'll be about $1000 bucks in clutch and incidentals. Not looking for a pissing match but the stock clutch ain't gonna handle that beast for long. Several oil changes and this and that add up awfully fast!
Good job on the motor choice.

I speak to a dude with a springer with a S&S 120 on it at our local bike meet up...it sounds bad A$$ and he says runs like it too. I believe him.
I wouldn't borrow money for mods like that but if you've got the loot and it won't change what you and your family eats for breakfast, hey, life is short and modding a bike is fun.
Keep us posted and take pics!
