How do you gain just 3 inches? A 0.0001 overbore?

47 hp increase over stock 110? That's pretty impressive. Of course, we don't know exactly what those ponies cost him. Still, major bump in bikes power.

Here's the dyno sheet from his build/tune. Nice bump in power across the board. No criticizing from me either; let 'er rip!

As far as building his own? I do my own work too, except for the tune, but if I were going to go up in a big build,
I'd probably let someone who has the big motor experience do the work.. just to be sure.


Nice results nonetheless!

A CVO with all the upgrades that guy did don't make it to the nice add on, compared to boat stuff. Guy like that does a once in a lifetime (probably) buy like that, I'd love to go riding with him sometime.

I love the saying "I spent most of my money on fast motorcycles, booze and birds. The rest I just squandered."

You go from a 4" bore that is used in the 110" and you use the 4.060" bore that is used in the 113" and the 120".

I do like stirring the pot.......Now if those lottery tickets would just cooperate, I could be that guy too.

As far as my mods, I did everything myself and bought a lot of parts used on line and from other forum members at great savings but yes, I still got a few bucks wrapped up in my bike. At my age, getting from point A to point B in the quickest time possible does not matter. Now that upgraded torque number is another matter.......
