So far, Ultima sucks! They rebuilt my 120" after it ate a lifter at 4,400 miles, not paying for the removal and replacement of course, and within 300 miles both rocker box gasketsneeded replacing. It is a screaming motor with ZERO dependability. That would beZERO!!!If I had it to do over again I'd spend the extra $$ for an S&S.

I realize that opinions are like ********, but it addition to the purchase price for mine, I've spent nearly $1,500 and a shitload of downtime on mine.

They suck, I repeat, they suck. Do I sound like an unhappy customer? That would be because I am. They suck.

I have a 127" ultima it rocks wouldn't have another S&amp\\;S motor had way too much trouble with my 110 S&amp\\;S after 3 years of nothing but trouble wouldn't own another one. Just noisy lifters on the 127 it sees red line every day and has about 8000 on it. Pulled the lifters just to make sure it's all ok and so far so good.

Mines a 107'. Still fighting La. over getting her titled. That said. A buddy of mine's been running a 127" for years & loves it to death. Also, the Ultima engine comes with a Mikuni carb & ignition system. S&S engines don't.

Have had a 127 in my 90 Fl for a couple of years now, have had my problems, they covered parts, me labor, has more power than an old man thinks he needs, my opinion is if you want the big engine w/big cam, you can have reliability problems, some do, some don't, same w/all big cube hi power engines, no matter the manufacturer.
