i need 150 hp to the rear wheel, on my street glide,  what size engine do i have  to have

[wfolarry]

124

[Steve Cole]

Take the HD engine out and find something else if it is supposed to live more than 5000 miles! How well the S&S 124 is going to hold up only time will tell.

Ain't that the truth! Mine is broke down with 19k. Sad.

They make a granite 124 now.

S&S 124 can get you close to 150's without having to go B2 route and crazy compression or a happy dyno.  Jims 131 can get you there with the right headwork, cam and compression.   G^2 126 which is an S&S motor can also get you there at bookoo bucks, compression.   I have 2 of the 3 I mentioned and both over 150 with Sach's touch.   I just wouldn't expect under mid 11.x to 1 compression which on a bagger can be a bit daunting on the reliability side.   Mine are all capable daily drivers, with the expectation that they can break, but that is a representation of the quality heads/work I got from Sachs that I don't and didn't need over the top compression to make the numbers.   Don't believe Jims or Ultima have the Granite colors, but you could redo your heads and turn your existing 110 cases it into a 124 and keep the "sleeper" look.   Or buy the S&S granite, reroute the oil,mill out the logo to make it look like fins on the head.   

Thus far I am not a fan of the new S&S cases in the stock form and the way the oil has to pass.   If you were to do the custom work to have the oil pass internally then I would say you have something, but when you do it they say you  no longer have the S&S warranty on the motor.  always a catch 22.

I do not care how you cut it, 150 real HP at the rear tire and have it live for any length of time from a HD engine is just like pissing into the wind and hoping you don't get wet. If that's really your goal and you want it to live you going to need to use something else. Now if what your after is a bar hopper that doesn't go on trips you might get it to live  2 or 3 riding seasons unless you live in an area like I do that we can ride pretty much year round.

I just want a damn motor that will survive a whole summer trip. Mine crapped out 3000 miles into a 3600 mile trip. VERY frustrating!

All good and accurate advice here
The sleeper will come from kitting your 110 and having Herb in VA or Dave do the work. And of course Daves tune, he is very good.
Pipe remains the same, throttle body is adequate. Cam will be changed.
Not too hard or expensive. Actually the S&S cylinders are not too far from stock look and are available in Granite. Would use CP full skirt pistons.

150 HP out of a 124 with mild compression and the right dyno is doable... no problem. 150 HP out of a 124 measured with a strain gauge dyno instead of an inertia dyno, probably aint happening on pump gas... not on a naturally aspirated V-Twin anyway.

Any stock BMW K1600 or jap bike make this out of the box for a lot less than we pay and 100% reliable. On top of that you can take a curve as well at speed.

That K1600 is nice. The seat height is 29.5 inches though I don't think I could touch the ground, at all lol...

sounds like that's the way to go
