Got me. Its a way better motor than the 120 and S&S does the motor rebuilding program for HD.

Exactly, a lot of choices out there. I will be taking my time and researching the options. Probably be winter 2014 for the engine swap. I want someone reliable and that is good for touring with plenty of power.
HDrolling, have you been happy with your 120R ? Anything you would do differently ? I see you have dresser duals, I have the V&H monster ovals which I really like. Did you lose a lot of torque staying with the duals over going with a 2-1 pipe ?

Love the engine and I'm real happy that I opted to go with it, its very tame now but tour's well gets okay fuel mileage and is cooler running than when I had the stock 96" with the cat still on.
I had it installed in June I believe and have about 10'000 miles on it already, me and the wife did a three week 6800 mile road trip in July and I put about 1000 miles on every month, and its been flawless.
With the dual system and a weak Harley dyno tune I'm only putting out 115 HP and 119 TQ. After I get the 2-1 I'll decide where to get a real dyno tune and until then one of the forum members provided me with a 2-1 PV tune to run after the install.

I would skip the 120R, because if you ride around rallies it can get your bike impounded , and you a rather large fine after court cost.
That is the new thing that cops are looking for, they have gotten a little more forgiving on the handlebars, and they look for that 120r in a bike.

Race Use Only There are teams of LEO's that walk around checking if the engine number matches the frame number and if it does not they check for stolen parts. Mike
