Default Custom Create motor

Hey guys, by this time in two months, I will have a little money left over from buying a house and the move. My two options are buy a Rolex watch I have always wanted, or buy a crate custom motor for my 08 EGUC. If I went with the motor was I was thinking about spending nearly 8 grand to get a S&S Evo either a 116 or 123cc. any ideas.

I'm going back and forth on the watch or motor. The motor will over time wear out and need repair. The watch becomes a family heirloom… not sure

Why do you need an $8,000.00 motor on an '08 touring bike?

Get the Rollie........always wanted one myself but can't get past the prices.

IIRC, you might want to get ready to spend some more to get that Evo to bolt up to your trans while you are at it too.

I have a stainless Submariner and wouldn't trade it for 10 motors. Well, maybe if it didn't have as much sentimental value....

The Rolex you will be able to sell for close to what you paid for it in 5 years, can't say that about the motor. If it's an either or due to $$$, go with the watch - you can always sell it later to do the motor work, but can't sell the motor to buy the watch.
