I don't mean to beat the AC issue to death but when I asked Fuel Moto to go ahead and send it they said if would be fine to run it without tune and exhaust. Those guys know what they are doing so I trust what they say as far as that goes. The low profile oil catcher from HD is a decent piece of gear, however one word of caution: be careful using it with your truck or other vehicles. The hole for the oil is tiny and if you aren't careful the oil will hit the pan, bounce up, and go all over the garage floor. I'm hoping for better results when I go to do my 5000 mile service next weekend. The BAL3-ST is sitting on the counter right now but the wife is making me wait till my birthday tomorrow to put it on. I'm not pushing the issue because she also let me get a new Glock which I'm picking up on Thursday.

 

Need some advice from those of you that went with bigger cubes... My bike is going under the wrench for a 103 upgrade (with cams) from a trusted indy. Should I even consider a 107 or 110? $$ isn't really a problem, figure if I'm doing this once I should do it right. I would like to keep my fuel milage somewhat decent and my wife enjoys riding so anything too rowdy might not go over so well. (I made that mistake with my Z06, she hates it now.)

Just looking at my options before we get started with the work. Any advice?

 

I may have one soon (since mine is coming off). Should be near perfect. Will definitely let you know!

 

Are you sure money isn't an issue? I was talking to a local engine builder a few weeks ago, and he mentioned to me that 107" is the biggest that you can bolt on to the stock crankcase without having to bore it out or change a bunch of crap in it.. are you getting headwork done too? I think you'd probably be happy with the 103" with heads.. I don't know the difference in numbers off the top of my head.. i think the 107" is like +6hp/+8tq or something like that.. If money wasn't a factor, go for the 120R and call it a day :-D I'm thinking about the 107" kit whenever I have um..what's it called? um..oh yeah.. Money.. $2,500 with heads and labor from the same guy i talked to

 

Money comes and goes, might as well go to something good. Besides, we all know this thread is a wallet sucker!

Appreciate the insite. The indy gets my bike tomorrow, will have to have another chat with him and get his thoughts on the possibilites. He's been building bikes for quite a while and has done plenty of large cubed motors for HD's. While a 120 sounds great to me I don't think the wife would appreciate it. Of course I could always tell her to get her own bike.

 

What do you guys think about Harley's dual bulb halogen lamp kit? I would love to have the black LED but it's really out of my price range. I'm wondering how much better the dual bulb halogen kit would work over the stock bulb. I looked it up on surdyke and it's about 118.00 instead of the 450 or so for the LED.

 

Shoots thanks Rob... Let me know please

Fine dark bikes gentlemen!!! Keep up the great work

 

I'd go 107" from Fuel Moto. I think Jim is right, any larger than that and you have to start relieving the crank case and crap like that. Besides, the bigger the motor, the harder it is to keep cool.

 

COOL bike Jim!
Where did you mount the horn?

 

Damn Jim, your bike cam along nicely! There's not a thing I would change on it!
