[quote=Biggzed;9226151]How exactly did you get this far down the path with your builder and not have the "extra" items you are now paying for accounted? Sounds a little off to me.

I sincerely hope this all turns out as you hope.

Sorry, wasn't trying to be a jerk. Just seemed like your builder should have told you more up front. I understand where you're coming from. Things come up and it seems like the bigger and badder you go, more things come up. The 120R is probably the most economical way to get big power in the market today. Going from that to a 131 for around the same cost would be tough. I know a lot of guys that have more money in their 107's than a 120R costs.

Good luck and I'm sure it will be a ripper when done.

I was coming back from sturgis when the bike started to vibrate more than usual. At the time i was making 111 HP AND 120 TQ, and yes it was a stock 96" crank, Funny thing now is i have a welded crank with timkin bearings and i put in forged pistons but went with mild cams and make less HP and TQ now.
