Default ULTIMA MOTORS

Anybody runnin' any or know of any one runnin'Ultima products?
They are "mostly" made in America, I understand.
Gettin' kinda tired of my evo, and gonna save up for 113-127.
I'm sure it would be a hell of a rush to go from an 80 to a 120 inch in a couple of days. Wheeeee hawwww!!
Getta blow most of the twinkies away in the process, maybe even a crotch rocket or 2?
A bud says he can do wheelies in the first 3 gears if he wants to, hmmmmm.
Get the whole works includin' a 6 speed tranny, plus a belt drive for $6k.
I'm thinkin' that's a pretty darn good deal!!

My buddy has a 113" Ultima on his Custom built bike. It hauls ***. It's only been one riding season, but no problems yet.

Somethings to consider...

Bigger motors make more heat. Not sure on this, but maybe not a good motor to have stuck on a slow speed cruise. I could be wrong though.

Bigger motors make more vibration. More s#it comes loose. This I know because my buddy has lost a few things off of his bike including a mirror. Definitely invest in Loctite.

Lastly, for 1/2 the dough, why not punch out your EVO?

Candy Azz has a good point. Would be cheaper to go to a 96" and that would be one hell of an upgrade.
I have a 113" Ultima in my bike and the vibration is less than what my old motor was. Make's it a treat to hit the highway at 70 to 80 mph and not end up with numb feet and the power is awesome!!!!
Good luck with whatever decision you go with.
