Ultima 124 CI Bagger/Touring Engine


Jireh Cycles is proud to announce the introduction of another motor to Ultima's already successful motor line. This 124 cubic inch engine is designed with the touring, and or bagger rider in mind. Starting with the proven 120 engine as the basis, the 124 cid was accomplished by increasing the stroke from 4.25" to 4.375". This insures the rider of at least 100 ft lbs. torque above 2000 RPM for passing situations. The camshaft was changed to lower the peak torque RPM and to spread out the torque curve. At the same time the camshaft ramps were designed to provide quiet, easy on the valve train longevity. The compression ratio was dropped slightly to allow for the occasional bad tank of fuel without causing major engine damage. This slight drop in compression also has the effect of smoothing out the firing impulses for an even smoother ride. Couple these improvements with pistons made from time proven 2618 alloy and you have a very quiet, powerful, long lasting engine for your riding pleasure.

The combination has been proven on the Dyno with torque exceeding 135 ft lbs and horsepower exceeding 140. This data was gathered on a Superflo Dyno, which is recognized as 10% lower when compared to Dyna Jet numbers. Add 10% and you get an astounding 148 ft lbs and 154 HP! Not bad for a "bagger" engine!

my only question is reliability -- this is about the same cost of my 107 -- given the fact that had I gone this way I could sell the stock motor -- this 124 would be less expensive

I think it's sweet and would love to have one. And if my ONLY COST was the 4K I would probably jump on it right now, but I believe that if you go with that engine you may have to switch to chain drive to handle that much TQ/HP, and make some other expensive changes as well. And I just don't want to spend 6-7K at the moment.
