RE: Ultima 107" motor on a 90 model Bagger
Paco, Thanks for the compliments. Was that 2 into 1 really that loud? I would like to see a picture of that fatty with those bags.
JJB1, Does your wife like to ride?? If so than more pictures of you guys riding will be great. Is that your boy on the bike?? Get him a Harley. Sooner the better!! As far as vibration, my bike vibrates the same if it is going 20mph or 80mph. It is so much smoother than my old motor. It is amazing. Weather has been good up here soI have been out and put about 500 miles on already. Goal is 8000 miles this year. We will see.
You guys have a good weekend and ride safe

RE: Ultima 107" motor on a 90 model Bagger
I just dropped in a ULTIMA 107 in my 89 Ultra. I have been reading all your posts and have a question. I talked to Jireh and they told me they haven't had any issues with the pushrods for about a year and a half. that is when my motor was built. I bought it in 12/06 and first now getting to putting it together, just took it out of the box and dropped it in. I took off the pushrod tubes and you guys are right they are 3/8" pushrods. And they verified the motor has stock OEM lifters. They sold me the 7/16" pushrods you guys had a part # for at a reduced price and I got those. She told me she couldn't just GIVE them to me cause I haven't even started the motor yet and I have no problems to report to them. On top of that my motor is out of warranty being as it had 12 months warranty when I bought it. I told her eveything you guys were talking about and my question is, Should I put in some Crane Big Axle tappets too? She will knock off a little on those too but once again I have no issues yet so she can't give them to me but if there were problems with them I just asoon change them all out.

RE: Ultima 107" motor on a 90 model Bagger
I just used the pushrods and replaced the one bad lifter,(plunger was weak), ...I really think they had them set totight at the factory...Iam hitting 1000 miles and no issues and I drive it likeI stole it allthe time...I wouldnt change them and a lot of guys have done nothing and thiers are running fine//I would adjust the valve lash myself with2 1/2 turns at 0 lash then your sure its done right...you can go 3 if you like...Iam just an old schooler and would rather myvalves float then a rod / lifter/ cam failure...good luck

Pantony,
I have about 5500 miles on my 107 and have had no issues with anything so far. runs excellent and has the top end noise of an evo. i wouldn't worry unless something happens and then confront the problem. just my .02.

RE: Ultima 107" motor on a 90 model Bagger
Ok heres the low-down, I cut out the 3/8" pushrods cause I know I'm gonna put in the 7/16" pushrods as I have them. I took out one lifter block and the motor already has big axle tappets. Good thing I didn't buy any. They arfe Ultima's made by Johnson lifter, (60's-70's NASCAR fame), They are top quality , excellent machining as is the cam. So that settles that!
