why not the jims 131 then????   already built like the 120,  if your going to put more money in the 120 then buy the 131 and get more torque and  hp from the start with out going inside the engine.  there is a posting in this forum already from someone that just did that.  im thinking about it myself,  As far as service issues over  the 110 ?????   yeah  right,

Yea.. Ask unbalanced about that...

Here's a Jim's 120 I did a while back.Actually I've done several in this range.  ;)

Dyno performance is one thing.............Road performance is quite another.  I am sure of that.  Later--HUBBARD

The several I've done,ain't no conversation piece, attitude is......"Bring a bag of money, and take the next lane".After the a$$ whipping, we can go on the ride of your choice,however far it may be.  ;D

I'd punch that Motor, and go back with a Zipper's 120" Kit, to include their Heads and TB.  Ain't seen any Jim's 120's, or 131's, perform like my Zipper's.  There endeth the lesson.  :2vrolijk_21: Later--HUBBARD 

I'll second Carl's recommendation, go with the Zipper's 120 kit.  I've got 50K miles on my build thusfar and runs like a raped ape.  Official motor of the HBRR!

It means that these bikes are as reliable as a stock Jim's 120 in the right hands,and the road performance/power MATCHES the dyno #'s.  :o

That's what I thought.  I live for that kind of chit.  Ol' Maudie's ready, and "cash", always rides with me.  Let the Games begin.  Later--HUBBARD

Bring it to Maggie Valley?  WTF? ? ? ? ?
You make your first event in 2 years and the day the event starts you tell him to "Talks cheap. Bring it to Maggie Valley"?
How about Daytona, Biketoberfest?
I suspect other people are just as busy as you are and a little notice is always nice.
Just sayin, , , , , ,

I can say if you get down to So.Fla.,prolly 2 of these bikes WILL give you a play.I can't speak for the others,as they're out of state. ;)
BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT, I can be your "Huckleberry" with my beat up '95 FLHR.  :-*
We're racing at So. Georgia Motorsports in Valdosta/Cecil,Ga. Nov. 11&12.We can put up some freeze out money(so if 1 of us doesn't show,the other gets the money),and race there.Quarter mile,Christmas tree starts,sanctioned drag strip.
Got to figure the ride is closer for you than for me.

my money is on mr sachs...i've seen his resume

love to be in the stands for that race

back on topic...even if it were more expensive, i would prefer a one-off build to suit my needs as opposed to the screamin' eagle motor...i like to be in on the design process

1/4 Mile?  Hell, that ain't Racin'!  Couldn't even get Ol' Maudie stretched out in a 1/4 Mile!  I tell you what, take yours to Deltona, and if you can get by Harry, (Unbalanced), on a streched out, 4 or 5 Mile run, you may spark my curiosity.  Later--HUBBARD
