They are the Jap imports. Darkhorse installed them when the crank was originally assembled. TR checked them over, replaced the bushings and said they are good to go. I had about 20k on the crank, as a long stroke 120.
Yes sir! It's also my cross country rider... We chose a milder cam (TR590) than what one would use for more of an all out power build. Static CR will be close to a mellow 11:1.
Cylinder pressure will be a good bit lower on this motor @ 11:1 than it was on my 120 @ 10.5:1. I rode the 120 all over the place, and PROPERLY tuned, never had a single issue starting, detinating, or otherwise. It was a tuff lesson for me to learn and grasp, but if you communicate what you're after to top notch motor guys, and then *follow their recommendations*, things usually work out just the way they were expected to.

Explain why you ditched the 120" for the 124"?
