     I am making plans to get my 120r crate motor installed in my 07 Softail standard. Does anyone know the best place to get it happening? Two Harley shops told me it will take 24 hours and the other 8 hours...

    I have read i should change the lifters. Is there anything else that i should cover?  Also the bike has done 60,000 Ks, should i buy a stronger gearbox and what brand. Thanks for any replies.

     as per ando ,also fit a S/E clutch is good enough we drag race on them & never a prob.         whats wrong with the s/e lifters ?         i took a 120R Dyna W/Glide too   10.22 sec 1/4 mile e.t. @ 132.6 mph last weekend on stock tyres    149hp = 133.5 torque

     is that lifter prob on the JIMS 120R motor ?  , as on the 120R we race it is a S/E  kit only  crank & barrels cnc heads etc  into a stock Harley motor ,   but the new one we are building is the Harley S/E case's  crank /barrels kit  from the parts cattledog this will be the one i will be racing  the good thing i get to port & polish & set her-up &  run her in on the street for 2,000 klms before i race her

     to Carbon Fibre  Ques , all stock Harley  but she has the  S/E  cattledog 12 to1 comp pistons + 267 = 660" lift cams + i ported & polish & set-her-up ,    i can put up her dyno chart if you like

    The Jims motors, the 120r crate motor and kits come with the same SE lifters, I pulled mine out pretty early and fitted the Harley "B" Lifters and have some S&S lifters with travel limiters ready to fit

    The word on the street is that the 110 motors with the same lifters and is doing the same thing

    Look its not every motor out there but there is enough bad reports around the place that has me convinced not to use them
