I am very happy with the SE 120R in my 06 dyna, runs like a champ and very reliable. Good luck with the project and hope it all comes together quickly so you can get some riding in.

Are you going to do the clutch and compensator too?

Congrats, sounds great!

What are you doing with the 107?

Also interested in the clutch setup you will use.

I put the SE Compensator (40274-08A) and SE Racing Clutch (37976-08A) in when I installed my 107. I only have about 1,500 miles on the 107 and will simply reuse these parts. I know a lot of people don't like the SE clutch because of lever pull...but it does not give me any troulble and I really like the firm, solid 'feel' that it gives me.

See above about the clutch...as far as what I'm going to do with the 107 I am not sure right now. Could sell it as a unit, or piece it out. I might even keep it...I simply don't know right now.

I'd probably buy one at 20% off. It's probably a good thing I'm not shopping it too hard.

Just got back from the dealership from picking up a few parts. They received a FAX yesterday from the MOCO that stated my 120R is currently being assembled and will be shipped in a week to 10 days!

That's simply awesome! I gotta get done with my buddy's new Road Glide Ultra that I'm working on and get ready for the 'life changing' event on my ride!

Oh yeah, I'm stoked!

What kind of crank bearing do these motors have? Is it a Timken tapered and if not what would the crank runout be. Also are the wheels welded? Would seem with this kind of torque the wheels need to be welded! You will love all that power!!

They are being built with what HD calls a 'lefty high-performance crankcase output bearing.' I don't know if that is a Timken, or not? Can't answer about the runout either.

The flywheels are not welded...it is their SE Pro-Stroker Flywheel that has a much tighter fit than the OEM crank. I'm not a wheelie, burn-out or hole-shot kind of guy...I don't require a welded crank.

I'm really pumped about the engine swap out...and can't wait to get her on the road!
