See what cam your bil is running, I'd say you want the duration down in the 242-246 range. Good luck.

A friend of mine has a well built high compression with flowed heads 110 in his '12 CVO SG and it's no match for another friend's 113" with 260 HD cams and especially has nothing for my 120r.

His bike is respectable but it's comparing apples to oranges.

Ok, not trying to be a smart *** here, but if you can afford the 120r and getting it set up right, you sure as heck can afford to get it painted before installing it.

Heck, paint it to match the bike and send the heads and jugs to get diamond cut, be unique.

Worrying about the color that HD ships the 120r out in is about the worst excuse for not getting one that I have heard yet.

I'll make a couple calls Monday and start planning a winter makeover for my 110. I put 6000 miles on it this summer just to see if breaking it in etc would help but it didn't change anything.


I don't wind it out past 5800 rpm so no need to do a build for peak rpm. I do however want the bike to run harder than it does.
If you're reasonably sure of your 10:1 compression, pop in a set of Woods 777. Your 110" will wake right up. Simple and cheap swap.

Put your bike back on a dyno to see what it's really making. I suspect the numbers will not be what you have in your sig. 10:1 is not enough for the 9B's. The right parts and a good tune will give you an honest 120+ sq.

Exactly. If I could swing a 120R I wouldnt give a **** if the only color it came in was Pink.

My SE 113 used MVA heads. They flow much better than the 110 CVO heads. Are you running a 58mm TB?

I'm running the stock T-body.

I will give woods a call and run my combination by him. Maybe I'll try a cam swap and see what happens.

I'm really wanting 130+ I may look into a 117 build if I decide to go big instead of a 120r.

Well, there is your wicked throttle response... The MVA's have big *** valves (same as a 120R) and the 58mm TB flows almost 15% more air.
