Let Mark have the thread he asked for. There's nothing to be shared by HDF'ers with experience with 113", 120", 124", etc. builds regarding cams, throttle bodies, exhausts, tuning, clutches, gearing, etc. with those considering 117" builds since they are entirely homogeneous in the selection of those components and associated aspects of achieving the 117's full potential.

Just remember, not all dyno sheets are created equal.

Well you can say that about anyone on here who post their dyno sheet of the numbers they are showing so should we not believe what the numbers are showing about their bikes.I myself would be happy getting around 120HP mark after my build is done.

I am liking this 117 build more and more.
