I love the 117". A big performance motor in a cruiser (relatively light weight especially when compared to a bagger) is a great combo. The bike rips. Great tq down low and keeps on pulling as you wind it out. It's got real good max numbers but the real story are the power curves. No dips, and power comes on really early. I think there's a dyno sheet somewhere on my page.
The motor has over 20k on it and never any problems. I do change the oil often, but that's more out of habit then necessity. Just a great build done by my friends at Rosa's Cycles.
Good luck on your build. It should be a blast to ride.
