Default 120R Softail?

I see videos of Fatboys with 120R engines in them. I thought that the 120R fit only certain Dyna and Touring bikes. What's the deal? Also, no 120's are "B" series engines, are they? The HD site just about hides the fact that they manufacture a 120! You have to hunt for it!

I've put a big bore in a Softail before. Trust me, it can be done.

I have looked at this before, they do make a version of the 120r for 07 and up softails. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Screamin-Eag...item35b51cb596
