    Thanks for the interest ratbob...
    It’s a b motor I’m guessing, 2011 fxdb , 50/50 two up maybe more single tho...it’s close! I want an engine that will lift the front wheel basically....

    Lifting the front wheel is just a matter of clutch and technique haha. That's an 80in motor with 70hp if it was lucky. 
    Also you'd have an A motor. B motor is for softails.

    Hm, take a bike that has a rubber mounted engine with the swinging arm attached to the trans and use it for monos. Hm.

    If money is no object get a 120r crate engine and you’re done. If you can’t afford it like most, replace your top end with 110 cylinders that I think s&s sells as a kit with all the other stuff you need

    I’m not talented enuf to ride bike for blocks on the back wheel or scrap the rear fender on the rd...wld like the grunt in an engine to lift the front under power that’s all, I wld b doing long rides also.
    The 110 bolt on bits sound the general go to....any ideas on wot the cost wld b I’m up against? And any negative feedback from these engines?
    Thanks lads.

    Hi Rock,

    So is the bigger engine for pulling wheelies when the significant other is on the back?
    Just buy a 1200 sporty for the same cost and wheely the heck outta that.

    Hey rock38, we understand, you just want more thrust when you open the throttle .
    120R full crate motor , with the Cam's it comes with changed for something with more low end grunt, to be nice on the street, but would not be cheap.
    otherwise bore yours to 103 inch higher comp pistons a set of cams to match your riding style, heads cleaned up with a valve job ( better flowing seats ) change your primary gear ratio ( lower ) & if tuned right, you will feel a gain. & good idea to invest in a stabiliser that restricts forward to rear movement ( rubber mounts ) you'll be smiling! but if you get a 120R you would be smiling even more.

    As I thort many good suggestions. As money is not so abundant atm I’m thinking I’ll build an engine possibly sumthing like u hav suggested krash kinkade....yeh a lot to think about lads, to do a crate motor rite I reckn you wld get a little bit of change back from 20g .
    No doubt more questions will follow chaps.
