Default 120 HQ Build-Engine apart, shipping to...

Took the weekend, but the engine is apart, and will box it up tomorrow to ship the lower end to DarkHorse in Wisc for JIM's crank setup- balancing, Timken Bearing conversion and case boring. HQ 120" build is on its way.

Man is there a sh*load of parts when you tear an Ultra all the way down to the cases. Actually glad that winter is setting in, wont have parts back for two - four weeks, and then I can take my time putting it together.

And to think... I went for a little ride today and was all hyped about my little old HQ cams I got ordered Friday. I can hardly wait till they get here so I can bump up to hopefully around 85/89 hp and 93/98 tq. I am taking good notes on all these big builds though. I may just get there one day.....

Hey Rob, not far from ya here and it was hailing like crazy today. Winter is here in NE Ohio. Was working in the garage on the bike, and watching the ground turn white. We will definitely have to compare builds when we are done!

(can I get 50% off through you?)

Asuperheat - nothing small about the 113", you will love it !!!

Everyone doing these 113 and 120 builds, maybe I can grab a 98" build cheap right now to upgrade my 95" build.

I have HD CNC ported heads(16925-02B), SE 1550 Stroker Pistons (22942-00), Pins and Rings, Woods TW400-6 cams and lifters, and HD cylinders bored for the 96 to 103 or 88 to 95 for sale. Make me a reasonable offer or PM me and I will give ya a good deal. You can either go from 88" to 95" (different pistons) or completely set-up your 96 to go to 103"
