2008 Rocker C Engine Upgrade
My 2008 DeRocker C as I call it since converting it to a standard softail rear end with the heartland conversion many years ago will be getting what I hope to be an engine upgrade despite what many claim to be a poor choice. Since purchasing the bike new from one of my local dealers I have upgraded what I thought was improvements as well as customizing it to my personal taste.
I have had very little problems with it and still have two years of extended warranty. But I would enjoy having more power at my command when I need it. I have never spun my tires or drug raced anyone although I thoroughly enjoy riding the twisties while leaning as for as possible and powering through the corners. I would also like the power of a big engine so that I can safely pass without having to downshift and enjoy that feel of power when I want it. My bike just turned the 100,000 mile mark so it's getting the 120R crate engine. I will post the parts and procedures as they are done

Monday 04-25-16, ordered the following list of parts for conversion from local dealership: crate engine, gaskets, filter, oil, super tuner, race clutch kit, compensator kit, compression release wire harness, 58mm throttle body, 58mm manifold, 6.2 injector set, heavy breather kit with breather bolts, super tuner cable, super tuner instructional dvd, and 2 special exhaust gaskets. Dealer not sure of eta on engine yet. Will most probably add chain & adjuster after inspection and will inspect screaming eagle discs & plates installed 2 months ago. Hopefully this will help those interested in the same type conversion.
