Friend just got his new bike in and is waiting on the engine...
He bought a flhx and is putting a jims 120 in it...
Whats everyones opinion...
is he going overboard...

 

From everything I've read and a few people that I've met that have one. You'd better hold on when you wrap the throttle. I haven't heard of any dependability issues either.

 

SG would make a cool hotrod...its gonna run fine & long...no worries

 

Im probally more jelous than anything..

 

That is one HOT motor. Don't get in front of him when he is getting "the feel" for that throttle.[sm=gears.gif]

 

Javalina Harley is doing the build and have aready talked him into a chain drive so he doesnt snap belts...
I havent ever seen the power of this engine so Im kinda pumped up to see it...
I think its to much for me but it will be fun to ride around with and see the looks..

 

tell him to beef the clutch also

 

That thing is going to rip. I would like to see what it gets on the DYNO

 

I think they are doing the screamin eagle race clutch but if not ill mention it...

 

I'd love to have one.

And I probably shouldn't even bring this up but a guy on another forum I frequent just had a Jims 120 go kaput with 6500 miles on it.Jims had the dealer ship the motor back to them but made no promises as to the outcome.Sounds like this guy is awaiting their verdict on the issue.

Edit because it won't let me link to the other forum for some reason.
