20K on my 120R crate rear base gasket failed then almost same time rear exhaust lifter roller failed scrapping 266 cams.
going back with
ported mva heads,Feuling cam plate kit,S&S 625 EZ cam kit,and S&S adjustable pushrods,new set of SE rings.
this should get the front wheel off the ground again.

Do a search on this forum and others. Lots of info out there. Haven't heard a single regret yet. If I could, I would do it in a heartbeat.

120r in a touring bike
I'm not sure if its good or bad but you have to drive it fast. To cruise through a campground or something at 5 mph is a challenge and to pull away from a stoplight gently is impossible. Not sure if its ego or throttle response but in any event its real fun to drive and I don't get it up to the rev limiter of 7500 rpm very often. Do it !

I agree its all about the the tune. I have no problem riding mine like my 103 but it can pull two up and burn tire with out a problem. Although this can result in smacks to my helment from my rear seater LOL. But a 7500 redline cutout is way higher that my 6200 cut out. But then again its about the tune.
