I was waiting for somebody to do this -- let us know how it turns out --very interested--thinking about putting one in my 09 RG (HQs 107) but I'm a torque hoe -- I want it down low where I can pull the front wheel off the ground--

Did you go with different heads or anything or just the straight crate motor?
SE120R Kit versus Crate, added SE roller rockers and timken bearings. built by Bluesprings Harley-Davidson of Bluesprings Missouri
Cost is very close to the crate,but you know who's building it and you get to make any modifcations you want along the way. I did very little modification from the stock kit as you can see, because the guys at Bluesprings HD were confident they could produce solid numbers reliably with the base kit. They pulled through and I believe there is more hidden HP on the top end if I allowed them more time with the bike.
This engine is exactly what I feel the streetglide needed for a powerplant. It has smooth responsive power curve with effortless acceleration. I can not stress enough it's fast for a 900lb touring bike.

. The way guys complain about their motors being hot the monster notor will be a fire breather.
However, I bet it runs like a scalded dog though.
I added the SE Premium Oil Cooler and it seems to run quite a bit cooler than my stock 96". summer riding will let me know. I plan to do a review after a 10 day ride around memorial day 2011.

Did you weld, balance, and true the crank? How smooth is this build compared to the stock motor?
