I have an 08 FXDSE2 and I really love the bike except for the 110" engine.  While I think the 110" stock motor is quite good for that, a stock motor, I'm struggling to figure out what to do next.  I've thought long and hard about turbos, blowers and the 120R.  However, to put 8K into a 120R and still not have a rock solid bottom end concerns me and I'll feel like I haven't made up much ground.  

Here's my dilemma, my budget isn't rally permitting me to do it right. I have 8k to spend  but it doesn't seem there's much I can do with that. I know you can't really add displacement because of the cases and I don't have the dough to do the engine correctly and add a blower or turbo. Maybe I could do that in stages?

I look a bike with gobs of off idle torque that will pull real hard. While I drive reasonably fast that's not the issue the bike will get there, but I really want neck snapping stop-light to stop-light torque.

I know you gotta pay to play with HDs but this CVO motor is killing me. I'd hate to sell the bike because I really like it.


thanks.

dosnt have to be expensive,headwork (around 500.00)set compression higher & S&S .585 cams(around 275.00,but theres lots of choices here,but we`ve found the .585`s to work pretty good on them without getting crazy)easy 115+/120+.we`ve gone 120hp+ many times too but that starts getting alittle pricier

[HILLSIDECYCLE.COM]

Yep.
Headwork, cams, a t/body and a good pipe.
Take it out on the tarmac, and let it eat.

Can displacement be increased at all?  Are you suggesting a larger TB like one from HPI?

[petewerner]

$8K buys a ton of engine building. Selling your 110 gives U another $3k. Build the 110 right, perhaps have the crank welded while doing a rebuild. Someone else can tell U if the spigot needs to be bored if U want to go bigger as well, 113", or 117". Like Scott said, build it and let it feed on others!!!!

With a 4 1/8" cylinder kit, and case boring, etc,.....................................117".
With an S&S 4 5/8" crank, and 4 1/8" cylinder kit, case boring etc,............124".
Yes, an HPI unit would be a good choice, and now S&S does offer a 66mm "Throttle Hog".
We've had the opportunity to use those on a couple 120's at this point.

Scott, $8K is more than enough to all of this work and have change in his pocket, isn't it??? If doing the 124, what kind of numbers would he see, generally speaking???

Just quoted a 124"er this morning, (engine out of the chassis) using the clients cases/Timken/66 mm/headwork/VPC 92T, was well under that numnber.
Peak power, and delivery, can be juggled around for the intended riding, but with a 124"er, and the .640 cam, along with cylinder head modifications/optimising compression, 66mm TH, 140's........

zer0t; There is a choice I would look at seriously! That is mucho power!!!!

 Scott;
   With a Granit 110, who's 4 1/8" cylinder kit do you use to keep the granit color?

Last one we just built, (with a Pro-Charger on it) we sent the cylinders to www.sumax.com, and the client also wanted Diamond Heads to cut the fin edges as well.
I believe that S&S offers the granite color now.

The 4.060 HD cylinders will go 4.125 but will need powder coat. Rev Performance offers Granite. S&S will also powder coat Granite. Daytec the frame guys in California are good at HD motor powder coating too at reasonable prices.

[SID8D2]

I contacted S&S a couple weeks ago to inquire about there 4.125 cylinder and having them in Granite color and this was the reply I got back.....


Sid,

I spoke with the head of our powder coating division and he has confirmed that we do not have anything to match the SE granite.  I will bring this up in our weekly meeting on Wednesday, but unfortunately for now, I cannot meet your needs.  Sorry.

I will research this and get back to the forum (not by PM or phone). I have a Dupont color number in my archives.

Powder coat them to match the bike.
