Wow, ok....just downloaded the 2011 SE catalog. Yes, the complete engine looks like the way to go. Interesting they also have a 120R set of heads and camshaft that will make this engine even more of a monster. I wonder why they even offer the JIMS version anymore?
Big question is VIN number. Do they ask you for your original VIN?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the $4600.00 i for the un assembled "kit" version. $5700 is for the complete engine.
Still, $5700.00 for a 135HP - 120" factory built 120" T/C with some great internal parts, wow.
I don't think you can touch a comparable JIMS or S&S complete engine for anywhere near that, PLUS you get to remove your entire engine and maybe sell it off for $2000.00+ ?
Thus you could theoretically have $3700.00 into a 120" HD built motor. Not a bad proposition.
Yeah, but what about us with '05 and earlier bikes. Now that would be something to think about. i already have an 04 HQ 120" Ultra Classic . But I also have an 03 Wideglide . Probably still go with HQ and Darkhorse crank when ready to go all the way. Still not a bad way to go for the money, especially if a warranty is any good.
