I agree with you, that's why I left my 2010 SG engine basically stock (except for Stage 1). With that said, I built my 2012 SG into a rocket ship.

 

you got to pay to play. So I will be back to work to make the money to pay to play. :-)

 

Strongly Agree, I went with custom built S&S 124", wrench and I discussed what I was looking for and wanted. I not only got S&S warranty but also labor warranty. I am happy with bike. Planning on a iron butt ride next year as well as a few 4-6 hundreds for training purposes.

 

ITOLDU you have a PM to answer it there or on here. I am in Week #1 of planning my 124" build hope to pick your brain a little.

Does the 120r have the same rebuild issues after 10k or so?

 

well it's a race motor so I am sure that is yet to be determined. I am not saying these motors won't last....but I am saying be prepared to have some issues with high mileage on a motor that is not intended for touring. Building a motor with components that build in reliability would be the best case scenario. I would love to slap a 5k 120r motor in my bike. but having to explain to my wife that I got to rebuild it would not be a fun experience.

 

Yea I can relate to what your saying! She is shocked at the price of tires!

 

I just had that tire talk yesterday. and then I showed the build list on my 124 and she asked what she gets to buy. ooooooo the married life

 

Trust me when my fiance saw the numbers for the 124", I immeadiately made a ring upgrade, to turn that frown back into a smile. Best part is she loves to ride with me as much or more than I like riding....so all worth it!
