HD 120"crate motor
« on: July 31, 2010, 09:02:09 PM »

Don (Iselbulls) and I were talking to an old friend of mine that I used to race with who owns a couple of HD dealerships here in northern Ca.. He says that HD will begin offering 120" crate motors for under $6K soon. I  did ask him why they would sell a 120" for less than a 110" but he really didn't have an answer. Either HD is trying to spread their own vicious rumors or there is truth in this.   :nixweiss: We shall soon see.

Boy that is Great! Now we have to worry about the Lifters going bad on top of the poor quality rebuild!

Maybe it's a trade off and the 120" will be a Jim's motor. I'm sure Jim's re-man will still have to adhere to HD's specs so if your runout is .011, you're still within tolerance and no new crank or truing.

At the dealer show a new '120' ci crate motor is available. I heard was around $5400 or lets say under $6k. Has anyone looked into this or perhaps may want to upgrade? :bananarock:

Is it a Jim's motor or an HD product?  Actually guess it doesn't matter.  With the problems both have been having it's a distinction without a difference.

I agree.  From what I've read here and elsewhere, Jim's obviously graduated from the H-D School of Customer Disservice summa cum laude.  And the quality of some of their parts makes one believe they also went to the H-D School of Disfunctional Engineering and Quality Control.

I guess the obvious question now is, does the crate come with the motor?  That could be a serious issue, because it's possible you'll need to ship the engine back at some point and I understand from one of our members that they had a real problem getting Jim's to send the crate so his dealer could ship his POS engine back for warranty evaluation and repair.  Sounds like another great idea for controlling warranty costs.  Can't fix it until you ship it back, but you can't ship it back without our crate, and we can't seem to figure out how to send one to you.

It sure would be nice if S&S or one of the other aftermarket companies would put out a nice TC based complete engine that would bolt in.

It's listed in the 2011 SE Catalog on the website.  SE120R, built along side the other HD standards sizes.  It's $4400 + shipping from Chicago HD........  My credit card has nearly jumped out of my wallet a couple times just typing this.....
