Curiosity is killing me

As soon as I get the engine home, I'll knock it down & post pics. Should be soon.

Haha thanks mister!
And I've been hearing great news from the Ultima camp recently. Seems they have their stuff together.

I blew the engine in my Road King a couple years ago. I pulled it and sent it to Hillside Cycle for a much better than new rebuild from the crank up. Smartest thing I've done in a long time. The engine had a hole in one of the pistons, 89k on the clock, and besides the usual top end machine work and replacement parts, had to replace a crank bearing that was scored from the shrapnel. They also put a new oil pump in it. I put in a new fuel pump and clutch, plus fixed some pesky leaks at the transmission.

Any recommendations?

Also a tranny upgrade will be added later, probably over winter. Seems prudent (to me) to break the new engine in, & take it easy for a while until it has a few thousand miles.

Alto-carbonite plus one clutch pack and a Screamin Eagle spring holds my 111 with no problems.

I was going to ask if you spit or swallowed? But then read the post and figured it wasn’t appropriate.

Probably for the best. Things could get a bit dirty.

And by the way, I misspoke. I bought the Ultima 107, not the 113. Availability at Jireh Cycles made me change my mind about which one to buy.

I believe Ultima still as the two year complete engine replacement if any problems for their 100cc engine

I believe you're correct, but the lady I spoke to at Jireh told me they only had cranks for the 107 right now, and it would take a few months for anything else to get built. I was originally after the 113, but riding season woulda been just about done by the time I would have gotten it. I need to get out of NY lol.

How is that setup for daily cruisin? A couple dudes I know have let me take their bikes for a spin that had been hopped up, and their clutches were "grabby".

Just fine, normal friction zone.
