S&S 124" engine kit--thinking on it
I already have a 106 but I'm tempted to go bigger, but $5-7k is no small change to me. From the folks who have done it was it worth it to you and do you have any lessons learned from the build?
I'm no racer I just enjoy power and torque. Thoughts?

I was at the local store today and they has a new 120 sitting on the counter. It was somewhere around $6500 the best I can remember.

If you call over in the Tech Engine section there are a few threads on 120 and 124 engines. There are not very many on HDF about the 120R, so just use Search for some light reading!

I've had Michael dyno my bike, if he is doing your build you are in good hands. Pls post you numbers, I bet it will be a beast!

I think I can do the cylinder/piston kit, new crank, timken conversion, machining for around $4K. I'll reuse my already worked heads, cams, push rods, etc. I can build it myself but of course it will need a dyno tune. A crate motor would be the more expensive route for my build.
