124 upgrade
I have a 1999 electra glide EFI and within a year I want to upgrade to 124" . I just purchased bike with 18000 miles and is all stock and right now I want to add Bassani dual exhaust and was wondering what kind of fuel management is best for me. I really don't want to add a new air cleaner til I upgrade to 124. Also, would like advice on what would be the best way to make the change. What is the best route to get to a nice set up with 124" and it must have the dual bassani exhaust. Not concerned with max. horsepower since 124 will have plenty. Thank you!!!

RE: 124 upgrade
The first question is how are you going to get the 124 cubes? Are you going to get a S&S motor & just drop it in? Probably the easiest and cheapest way in a long run. I found a brand new polished S&S w/title and polished tranny case with a brand new 6/speed spike for $6k + I had to get it delivered. The guy screwed me out of the carb that I purchased, however. as far as EFI, call zippers for around $1,600 plug & play. For carb, I am going with a Mikuni carburetor HSR48 carb kit. You can get them for around $400 + manifold & air cleaner. You can also get the Super G. Hope this helps. By the way you can either sell or keep your old motor & trand and re-install it when selling the bike. You will need a clutch also. I bought dual bassani exhaust

I planned on using s&s 124 hot set up with scorpion clutch. How do you like your exhaust would like to hear before I purchase. Don't see any around here. Not sure about fuel programmer can't find maps for bassani's.

Nice quality and Bassani are really nice fokes. Ask shooter64 for a price as he has a real good rep. from my friends who know him. I can tell you the Bassani people treat each and every customer who bought from their venders very well & take care of all those little problems that crop up in any business.
I manufacture my own products and do handle some convince oriented products built from other mfgâs. I do not wish to become a retailer, leave that to the professionals. When telling you this is a good choice, I am giving you the real deal as I do not want your money. You can take that advice for what it is worth.

In Pardeeville, Wisconsin, you are right down the road from Madison & Rockford. I am sure you can find someone there. The Zippers kit has self-tuning as well as others available. Ask & you shall receive.

RE: 124 upgrade
If you are going with a S&S 124 crate motor, then go with S&S VFI Closed Loop fuel injection. I'd strongly suggest the S&S Single bore throttle body. The map from S&S would get you up and running and you'll never need to go to a tuner. I was going to go with Zipper's Thundermax, but they only have maps for 120s, no S&S 124s.
I currently run a 1999 Road King with S&S 116" setup and VFI. I have the upgraded closed loop system but haven't installed it yet. I'm in the process of building a custom bagger. I have purchased the 124 I described above for that price.
Retail, with VFI, black and chrome is probably around 9500. Someone like Wally's Cycle World can probably safe you quite a bit.
Above, one of the posters said he got a new 124" S&S and 6 speed trans for $6k. My guess is it was an evo, not a twincam.

The S&S 124" motor is perfect bagger motor.Their IST ignition is also hard to beat.Mine has a modified S&S G with A ThunderJet.True Duals with Kromewerks HP 100 mufflers that were desighned for a 124" motor.They look and sound fantastic,not to mention the torque they deliver.Good Luck
