No its not. The stock clutch with the heavy spring can easily take it.

Yes It does. First gear launch starts to spin then the front tire goes in the air.
2nd and 3rd gear front end is very light when shifting.
Im not doing anymore power shifts due to losing a belt in the process.

no power shifts, but once moving, I'd hit it hard in 2nd and want to see it come up.

I'd like to someday have a 124 with a Supercharger and 50 hp shot of nitrous....to aid in merging with traffic.

One of the bikes he is referring to is mine, he saw it for sale on the floor of the dealership I work at. Instead of sticking it upstairs in winter storage it sits on the showroom floor. We sell a lot of performance work and parts off it, and it along with a couple other custom baggers we have gather alot of attention and lead to sales. It has a for sale tag on it priced less than you could build one for but more than I have into it. If the right person walks in and just has to have it, I'd sell it and build another one just like it.

As far as mileage, dont really care but its not any worse than my 96 with cams and a whole lot more fun. It will smoke the tire, lift the tire, what ever you want it to do.

I wasn't calling you out but it was the latest one I saw and had me thinking. Most or less was just curious is all.

I didn't take it that way at all. I just replied in response to some of the other posts regarding bad mpg, too much power or whatever

I would think if you aren't beating on it the mpg would be similar to a 103. If you only used as much throttle as was necessary to get it up to and maintain speed. A 120 would need less twist to get there whereas a 103 would require more,thereby burning similar amounts of fuel. It would be scary to watch the gas gauge move with your wrist into it. I bet you aren't looking at the gas gauge though at full twist. HOLD ON
