I've only talked to 3 people with them...there motors are fine, but they cant keep the final drive belt on...I would be using a chain or a right side drive Baker tranny with the belt. 250 rear wheel for sure.
Saw a fully polished 124 S+S on ebay that came out of a show only bike for a fair price...I'm having password/sign in problems so I cant bid.
I also here the TP 121" motor is a very good runner.

I have a 107 in mine and it is plenty fast. I just put a billet racing clutch in and it brings the front wheel off the ground in a speed shift from 1st to 2nd. It will lite the rear tire up at about 10MPH.......
There all good motors, but yopu really are pushing the motor once they get bored that far.......
Warranty wise,
107, 3 years
111 and 113, 2years
124 and up 6 months
145 90 days
i think the warranties speak volumes......
and at 6 to 10K for a motor...
food for thought
baker tranny is the only way to go......

Wouldn't a harley v-twin motor look and sound cool in a boat? V-drive or straight inboard? Maybe jackshaft to an IO.

In an open engine compartment Jet od V-Drive all bling blinged out...yea I could see it.
But the ol HD V Twins just dont like high rpm's to make it work...there more a low rpm stump puller. Plus ya would need a few of them side by side for the needed HP.

With about 50 ponies each? Maybe 10 of them might get you going.
Where the f**k do some of these people come from?

V8 :(
