RE: Ultima 107" motor on a 90 model Bagger
Thanks guys,
I ran a primo on my shovel and 113 groundpounder. I think the stealer has one on the shelf that someone ordered and never took delivery. I might get it at a reasonable price.......[sm=wtf.gif] yeah right ! Or, I might get by with new discs.
later.................

RE: Ultima 107" motor on a 90 model Bagger
Yeah, that's kinda how I feel too. I am currently at 70 ponies, but I don't know if it's worth going through all the BS to get it up to 90 or so ponies. Probably save up for an Ultima. I saw a 113 through Jireh for $3800. I'm thinking that ain't too bad. Throw in another 600 for a tranny, another 400 for a new clutch and you got a new bike for $5K, and one that will haul *** and then some.

RE: Ultima 107" motor on a 90 model Bagger
Did you go with a heavier duty clutch, and ultima 6 speed tranny too?
What are your observations since putting it in;was it a fairly easy install time wise, (probably not, nothin' is generally as easy as it seems,right LOL)
any problems, did you use synthetic on it, out of the box? Does it hook up, and or work in unsion to a lot of your stock softail stuff? Don't mean to pry, just wanna know what I'm gettin' into. 113's any better than the 120's, or? What year of Fatboy is that? Did or was there any difficulty fitting in the bigger motor in your Fatboy Frame Goat?
Thanx, appreciate any information.

RE: Ultima 107" motor on a 90 model Bagger
My bike had the Rivera/Primo on it all ready and I have the 5 speed tranny that is in good shape. The Harley frame will execpt up to the 127" Ultima motor. I picked the 113" due to the price. The bigger you go the more power you will get. I use 20/50 oil and I will not switch to synthetic. The motor was a tight fitand did work with the stock parts that I had in there. If there is anything else you need to know just ask.

I've decdided to go wtih the 107 as it is more of a square motor than is the 113. The bore and the stroke are with in a quarter inch of each other, and I don't believe that you have to mess around with compression releases either. Soooooooo, that's where that's at.

lionsm13,
I am completely satisfied ,so far, with my 107" motor. As far as I can see the 100",107" and the 113" are built around the same bottom end, 100-3.875 bore, 107-113 same bore-4.00", same heads. It is the stroke that is different 100-4.25, 107-4.25and the113-4.50. Jireh catalog as a breakdown of all the El Bruto series motors.http://www.jirehcycles.com/ The 107" does have compression releases as does the 100" and the 113". I don't always use the releases as I am notuse to them yet. I try to remember every morning to use them, as it spins the cold engine faster on initial start up. Just trying not to strain the starter so much.
I rode a 2008 Streetglide at the local dealership Saturday that belonged to the owner. 103"tw. tricked out. I don't think he could keep up with the old 90 fl. Of coarse it would probably come down to who had the biggest *****.
later.........

RE: Ultima 107" motor on a 90 model Bagger
I don't know nothin' about compression releases either Paco. Kinda dumb about them, how do they work, and or what do you have to do to work them? Also decided to go with the Ultima 6 tranny, and have opted to not go with the open belt drive. Folks say they'll drive you crazy with all their racket and noise. Jireh said that their motor comes with the extra clutch plate built in, so no need to mess around there. They say that they only come with the Mikuni 45 now, and no longer the Super G, of which is kind of a bummer.

RE: Ultima 107" motor on a 90 model Bagger
Compression releases sit on top of the cylinders and all you need to is push them in before you start the bike. No big deal at all. You will not be disappointed with the Mikuni carb. The Mikuni is more responsive then the S&S. I had the S&S on my old motor and I can tell the difference.
I am curious how well you like the 6 speed tranny?? Keep us posted lionsm13!!!
Here is a picture of the compression release buttons.
