The shop I go to just did a 120 SE for a guy on a SG, that thing is sick!! It's a real beast. If I had a 2nd sled in the garage I would definitley do it and then some if I could. It has plenty of power and torque to spare!!

Still it don't hurt to dream..

I'll make the decision between the 120R and a 107 when the time comes.

No. For that kind of cash I'd rather have another bike!

Why would you even think about it? It's just another junk Harley pressed together motor. It amazes me when I read this stuff. If you want to cheap out and buy Harley crap it's up to you. For a tad more you could buy better. Why cheap out?

.............and it's no better than the junk twin cams prior to it. It's "sick" until it turns to crap like most TC's do. Come on guys...do a little research on these motors. For the most part they are junk. The 120 is NO better than the 96 or 88's. If you want big cubes you really need to shop wisely. Buying another junk HD motor isn't the best way to go about it. BUT, it's your wallet. Give it some time and all the 120 issues will start turning up. Just more Harley cheap junk......
