We saw a chopped and stretched bagger in Daytona that was way cool. I'm not ready to chop my RK yet, but after I do the 120" engine this year I will probably be looking for something radical to do next year.

The 120 is going to be a Jim's ?

Wow, that is a really nice bike... Not for the mountains though or there would be no floorboards left... :wink:

I'm pretty sure it will be a Jim's.

The guys at Patrick Racing build some nice stuff, but on the two occasions that I have spoke to them in person they were plain ignorant.

The S&S 124 incher with their VFI is a kick ass setup, but the power is a little too stout for a belt drive in my opinion. Even the guys from S&S will tell you that they eat belts.

The Jim's 120 wins on price and performance for what I am looking at. I had a chain for years and I'm not going back to one, so that puts a ceiling somewhere around 130 pounds of torque, which the Jim's is darn close to. Also, the Jim's 120 is $3k USD less than the S&S 124 with VFI.
