2011 streetglide motor swap

i have a 2011 flhx with a 103cu motor.. the bike is pretty custom , plaine and simple i want more power so i was thinking instead of building the motor just swapping it out with a 120r.. my dealership told me it should put down about 135hp to the wheel. and the swap is about 6-7 hours shop time and with total cost with the extras and clutch and everything needed with labor in the ballpark of 7-8k..any comments or concerns i welcome .. thanks

Who the F cares about what a hyabusa is gonna do? Apples to oranges. That price aint bad if it includes everything, the intake,tune,clutch etc,etc. Just a few years ago we were spending close to that to rebuild existing motors, and you didn't end up with a spare motor that could be sold to help offset the price.

Not a bad deal if you can afford it. You should be able to get $2500 or so back by selling the 103.

Here is a harley that eats stock Hyabusas for lunch.

Wish I had a 120R as a starting point.
