124" winter build...
#82
That is why I went with 113. If built right they will rev like a crotch rocket and when you hit it hits real quick in any gear.
i have around what you are looking at, 124hp/148tq.
I eat rear tires, 2 to 3 sets a year. What I like is cruising at 60mph and all you have to do to pass is roll on some throttle. want to pass real fast gear down to 5th, if that isn't fast enough go to 4th and hold on.
Personally I think you will have better times @ the strip with the factory gearing.
You will have all the low end you want, and then some.

When we started doing this build I wanted torque. I didn't care about hp but I knew with tq hp is going up to.
We built the engine form a computer program. It took days to get it. My guy was a engineer for HD at one point. His heads can not be beat, he is good.
It took 5 months of planning and build it.
The only parts inside that are HD is the crank and cam plate pretty much.
You can build a engine for hp or tq and make advancements in one part of the engine power. HP/TQ. All parts must work a s a team, each part compliments another so it can perform better. I am sure all of you know this.
I bought the bike just for this.
I am using a Baker OD 6 transmission.
I had one objective and I saved until I could do it, took some time.
I would be divorced if my wife found out how much it cost.
It really revs unbelievably quick. you just touch the throttle and it jumps to 3,000 3,500 rpms
I had a child hood dream and have been fulfilling it. When I decided to do this I also decided cost would not be consider. What it was is what it was. Most or really wouldn't spend this kind of money on a engine. My 2 wheel days are getting close to a end for me. I wanted one last hot rod bike. I do have a trike kit for it that I put on sometimes.
Most of us can build some serious engines. I have read here at some of these. Like the OP he is going to have a ball on his. I promote this. There comes a time when you have to just face it, your not as good as you use to be. So I subcontracted my build out with each person involved was one of the best at what he does.
Too much talk, I'm sorry.

Well I've run into my first issue.. I had a feeling this was coming. My main shaft bearing inner race is too close to the transmission to get the removing tool around it. It's only .080 from the drive gear. Book calls for .100-.125. The removal tool is .116 thick where it needs to slide in. I had an issue like this on my buddies dyna when he grenaded the transmission and we cut it off with a small cut off wheel. Difference is, we replaced his gear set. I don't want to use a cut off wheel if I don't have to.. Is there a way I can get that mainshaft to slide out just a little bit? Baker needs to come out with a high torque IPB for the newer dynas already!

I'm assuming your talking about the locknut to the left on the gear set right behind the clutch release cover . How do I hold the mainshaft from spinning? The book says 55ft lbs on that nut. I can put the trans in gear but I don't want to break anything. Think it will be ok? And I guess I'm going to need that sprocket locking tool to do it that way too. Guess I should just bite the bullet and buy one
