    Well, truth be told, I'm getting to the point where looking for motorcycle projects is becoming as much a part of motorcycling as the motorcycling itself.

    Betty is one biscuit short of being totally completed to anyone's standards. After a big-twin goes, stops and handles then what else needs to be done?

    I have a little Harley 'scooter' now, so that's covered.

    I feel like breaking new ground, and about the only thing I can possibly think of that someone hasn't already done (or at least I cannot think of an example) would be a Screaming Eagle CVO Sportster.

    However, I can see the look on my wife's face when she finds a Nightster scattered all over the house, she learns that a new engine has been sent out "to be fixed," and the chrome invoices start arriving.:D

    Don't know yet the life of it.

    But the new SE 120 R that a lot of folks here got sure is perfroming well.

    Kingwood Harley Davidson has sold and installed several of them for their customers.
    All of their customers has one hell of a smile on their face.
    And said it was the best thing they ever did.

    A dyno dude on another forum did two of them and one is his.
    He is extremely happy.

    They are the best sounding motor I've ever heard too.

    Google it

    I nearly bought one a while back.

    Go look in the SE catalog and they are in it.
    I would have the dealer install it and tune it.
    A HD dealer here as I stated in other articles has been ordering them and installing the SE 120 in a lot of customers bike many months ago.
    Everybody that has them was really Supprised at the Power they put out.

    And I don't care what HP Yamaha puts out. Yamaha turns much higher Rpm's

    And a lot of folks has made this motor streetable.
    You have to change the pipes and clutchs on the bike.

    It takes some gittin used to , to ride it.
    It has a lot of power.

    120 is nice 130 HP out of the box, you still have to add a 62MM TBI to it, and exhaust, tuning, etc....

    I know a couple of guys with them, after a couple of months they were
    looking for new cams and taking them to be fine tuned...

    Think the cam is the Woods TW6h cam that some of them went with.

    That's one of the best cams out there.
