    Harley have these motors for $7500- in the spare parts div . Seemed good value until you add throttle body , injectors , breather and a couple other bits , bumps up to $9600- . Approx $1000- to fit , then it all becomes a dream.....

    and pipes and clutch and tune.
    there's a few guys on here with them or other high end builds
    1 benefit I guess is maybe some type of warantee

    Clutch springs ( clutch bits ? ) were included ( he rattled off a heap of bits for the extra $ ) , but no warranty , as Harley sell them as race/off road only .

    Shingles, think about this
    the 120R has the same heads as the Stage IV, has a billet cam plate, SE High flow oil pump and a tighter tolerence crank than a stock 96 or 103

    If people don,t have a proper tune and break these motors in correctly they will have problems

    But overall the 120r Donk is a far better bit of kit that the donks ya ride yeh new harley outa the shop with

    The lifters are the only thing that are suspect IMHO

    Did you just say he had glazed bores to prove his .012" crank run out

    and for your info the 120r comes out with a crank that is a wee bit better than a stock twincam crank

    this is my crankrunout

    Ando , the 120 motor I saw in Canberra , had a sign on it saying 135hp . Have you had yours on the dyno ? What figures ? Spare parts guy here in Adelaide said there,s around 6 of these motors runnin around here , that they have sold , with no problems .

    what the fuck does flogging or not flogging a bike got to do with glazing barrels

    Sorry guys , but going over old ground , If  I was to buy a 120 SE motor from harley , would I have to have the crank welded ? Would I change cams to Tman ? There is also 2 specs , a 12.1 and 10.5 to 1 comp ratio . Think 10.5 to 1 for street . Approx 10k for 120 motor , maybe work the 96 ?

    you should be able to just run it as delivered although you could upgrade the performance if you wanted to.
    I got a price from HH about a month ago and it was under $7k delivered to Bris
