That 111" would pay for it with some left over.
Am I nuts????

I for one wont be going backwards. The S&S 111 is an Evo with 120 plus TQ-Hp "without being built and losing its longevity" as the 0rigional 80" will. My 97 WG is far from being stock so that is not my intent to go back to factory.
I have never left any of my bikes stock but to each their own. All my past rides were built 80" and I loved every one of them even with the longevity shortened. So you can say I already been there done that. To me, I now have the ultimate EVO with power and longevity. So cry me a river if ya dont like my ride, Im going for a ride now and I will stop when I see ya on the side of the road. Aces.....

Hell it's a great motor with a crap ton of power but like I said where I ride I can't use the power 90% of the time.
Seems like a waste to me.

You want to talk to johnjzjz, thing is if you aren't going to actually do it I doubt he'd invest the effort. Good head work, new crank assembly to stroke it with the right bore & compression, cam choice and a few other upgrades over stock stuff is the basics.

S&S 4 5/8 crank, stock bore, S&S(only make cast)or Sportster pistons both in flat tops, 72 cc chambers with port clean up, .030 head gaskets comes up at 10.0-1 to 10.2 compression. W6H is a good cam for it, no compression releases needed and a sleeper until it's time not to be, the 89" with a S&S crank IS a great engine that will last.
