Engine Blown -- Now What?
#11
The S&S T111 can be had for $6K; a few hundred more for the T124.
I can find a 103" take off for $2900, maybe less.
A 96"er with some miles on it would be half that.
Am I attached? Yeah, I find that I am. This is a bike that I've ridden around the whole country on (literally -- my daughter and I did a 48/10 together on this bike and a 50CC last spring).

I've actually given this question some thought for my own bike in case it ever blows up, which I doubt it will again. It's an 07 ultra classic that spun the crank before I got it and was rebuilt with a welded and trued crank under esp.
Anyway, should it ever need it I'll be putting in a 103 take off if I can find one or low milage used if not. I've ridden limiteds with them stock, stage 1 and 2 and for me, it's a more than than enough.
But as others have said the option you choose will be a personal choice depending on what the bike means to you, budget, ability and, most importantly, what you want the bike to be and do for you.

But if you consider that 'unkind'...so be it... But here's my input... do the most you can do with the bucks you got!!! And don't forget that any bux you put into your project beyond just getting it basically moving down the road well is money you'll never get out of it...if that's important to you.
There ya have it...
