124 & be done.

I did the 107, then 110 with heads. Stopped at 110 because I didn't want to upgrade the transmission. Then I bought a Baker DD7. Now...  :banghead:

Do the 124.
www.rockout.biz Stop the top end TAPPING!!

No Cents

    I'm not trying to spend your money for you...but I will say this...there is no replacement for displacement.
A mildly built 124 should give you many years of happiness.

Long Distance Touring Rig, however, at times, I like to do the occasional smoky burn out. Passing giddy-up is a must. Cruising smoothness would be wanted

Budget? Due to my job, not a real concern.
Would like to keep the belt drive
Any input on these head castings?
Well I probably the last one to or should give advice on a Harley . My 12 street glide I took to Colorado last summer with loaded two up with a tour pack . Damn sure was hot going there and coming back . Got in a storm and had to hammer down and it was way over the speed limit .  But I did not have much choice at we had to get out of the storm . . The bike will get loose two up and shifting from 2 to 3 on dry payment wfo lol .  For me I like the rush of running through the gears or just cruising two and headed on the inner state with the radio up and let it happen . Even two up it will get it done lol . I think the key to making power is a good set of heads built around a build that is made to do what you want .  Every now an then I take it out by my self and let it rip and its a hoot to just roll on the throttle and it will get loose as hell in the lower gears. Sure there are faster bikes out there but not with the guys I ride with lol

Her's where it got a tad spendier


Check your runout on that crank. It looks like it's out there. If you have to do the crank a new stroke of choice replacement is available at S&S so a 124 (4 5/8 crank) is the same cost as fixing yours with only one way shipping. Barrels, pistons, clutch, injectors / TB ..... what is your budget like. Do you want to do this again?  124 and done.  :wink:

Heck, it don't take too much to have a bike that will roll down the highway way past the speed limit! I had a mild 95" in my '05 Ultra packed up for the trip with my wife on back and we out ran a storm leaving Newell, SD. We averaged 95 MPH between Newell and Eagle Butte. That Ultra would break the back tire or lift the front tire if I hit it hard in first gear.
I am an adult?? When did that happen, and how do I make it stop?!

Ya that 4" stroke feels right at home at 4500rpm, and with 1500 more to play with.

Clean it up and run it while you keep your eye out for a crate motor sale

Y2, it is winter here, so no need to patch it up to run it. This happened on my way to Sturgis this summer, rolling 90 on 90. Oil Pressure Gauge started to just flutter a bit which is not normal, watched it a few secs, thinking cheap harley gauges, then backed off and psi went up! Got back in it easy and it started fluttering and dropping so I was right at an exit west of Wall and was able to just make it off(sitting on the side of 90 would suck)
Let it cool for 40 mins(you know, maybe it will fire up and be good) As I ride with a Full Face and ear plugs, I could not hear anything.
Well after letting it sit 40 mins while I had a attitude adjust and a bottle of water. Started up and sounded like a handful of forks in a garbage disposal.

Also, being in the industry, I have different options than most as far as cost of this all
Need a bigger garage

If you are including a real winter as one of those seasons, you have no reason to be envious, trust me.
If the government gives you everything you want,
it can take everything you have.

Y2, just head up by Hoss or myself and spend some Tourism Dollars, rent a cabin and a couple sleds, spend some real dough! Our Winter is nice in small doses, say a week in  Late February

A week ago of winter here is plenty.

Sound good to me , I never tried that in first I just happen to have it get loose from 2 to  3 gear up shift lol  my 124 is just a middle of the road performance engine lol

Well, been awhile, long cold winter, I went with a different plan. Going with stuff that I sell, and I can use my bike as a sales tool at dealer events, etc.
Darkhorse Crank, H-Beam rods, Timken conversion(why not, I'm that far) Updated Cam Bores
100" S&S Power Pkg with EZ Start Gear Drives, had Suburban do my heads(they owed me a favor)
Parts are all here, now a matter of getting 'er done, broke in and tuned
Really, really wrestled with just going a 124, but it is what it is.....and i really wanted to see what a "rebuilt w/ 100" will be like as I have not driven one
Need a bigger garage

calif phil

Sounds like a you will have a great running bike.  Good on you, for using the parts you sell.    :up: :up:

Just my experience. I have a 124 and a 117. Both great motors, both can be a touring bike motor. The 117 however is smoother at a steady run. Not that the 124 isn't smooth, it is. Just you can feel the cubic inches. It's nothing objectionable, but that's why a 117 is going back in the Ultra.


Right here is what everybody seems to miss,,,,,,,Smooth
2 Bikes and 2 Beemers, that's what I have been told 😳

FSG

yeah but that Ohio HD is a smooth operator   :SM:

I'm thinking this square 100" er should be smooth

I had a 100" S&S Evo crate motor in a bagger a number of years ago. Smoothest motor in my experience.
