valve seal , worn ring, roller rocker, , ended up putting 124 ci in, 150 hp

If you don't mind me asking, how much did the 124 project set you back?

Having been down this road before and reboring along with loads of other stuff, after another 20k or so miles it's starting to use a oil again I think the last posts philosophy is a good one. With these engines we appear to be chasing rainbows.

Unfortunately, you're probably right. The further you go into the realm of performance, reliability can
be compromised when you get crazy with it. (There's a happy medium in there somewhere) Also, allot
comes down to how you treat and ride it too.

That's a lot of HP from a 124

28 years with Harleys i learned one fact, the more you mess with Harleys the lower the reliability. If you want high performance your better off with a bike designed and built for performance, handling and comfort.

My humble opinion from experience.

True statement. There's only so much you can do with this type of engine design. The induction system
(if you can even call it that) is severely limited. And with only Two cylinders, the exhaust system can only
do so much.

That being said, there's still room to make them better, but there's only so much you can do with with what
we have to work with. It's still fun trying though.

Same applies to the Harley suspension. The touring line uses a old frame design. Has limitations. You can spend big money improving but it will never ride or handle like competitive bikes.

Best to accept and love your  Harley for what it is. A great looking bike that fills the needs of most riders.

Totally agree, well said.

Sounds like a beast.

I always seem to have problems getting pictures on here too, so don't feel bad. (I was in the IT field for many years
so it shouldn't be all that difficult, but I still struggle with it)
