Great build. I got a ultima 127 in my kenny boyce fxr pro street frame. That motor is nasty. Great motor for the price. That motor will last you a good while depending on how hard you are on it. It's obviously not the level of an S&S but it's half the price also. I love the ultima crate motors. Stay alive on that thing. It's gonna be a rocket ship 🚀
So how's that motor workin' out for ya? Thinking about rebuilding an old Road King with one of those motors. Was looking at S&S, but found nothing but people complaining about 'em....
I have the 127ci Ultima Black Chrome and Ultima 6 speed in my Road King, have had zero issues with the motor/trans. Wife rides with alot so I have added alot of touring options..batwing, bars/lowers, original police hard bags, and a tour pack from a 2008 ultra just got added as well....motor doesnt care...it just goes....it easily wheelies if that's your thing....hope it helps.
They suck with a stock engine because of the old single piston caliper. I had dual discs with those on my 1988 FXR (got the kit when I bought the bike new) and upgrading to later takeoff four piston calipers was like night and day. I'm in process of putting an S&S V124 into the '88 which I'd already converted to a bagger box to get the spline shaft trans and lose the goofy oil tank. That was a very useful mod because it upgraded the starter from Hitachi to the more powerful Denso. He can order the later 39mm dual disc sliders and keep the rest of his forks.
so far so good, in all aspects, with my Ultima 120 in my FXR frame

It would be great to see a picture of your machine.
@mevcarter6664 It's in the shop for paint. Should have it back anytime now. If you have an email I'll send a couple pics.
Nice ride
How hard was this swap? I’m thinking about putting the 100ci ultima on my heritage softail.
Gongrads on ur rocket ship⚡⚡
How’s it going now? Have you had any issues with the engine ?
Youll need to delete your compensator and upgrade your clutch, starter and battery cables
Whats going on with this bike, im in the middle of my fxr and cant decide on powerplant.
I put my 127” in my 96 wide glide....if it wasn’t for my fat ass I couldn’t hold it on the road.
How is the performance of the motor I live in lapeer mi. I was thinking of put 127 in my 03 Dyna glide.
If you haven’t done it yet, I don’t think you’d regret it. I have one in my ‘99 FLSTC, and that thing is fast!
How did it go? I'm looking at buying one of their engines
What have you found out about the 127? Worth it?
I have one in my ‘99 FLST that I bought from a friend, definitely worth it! 0-110mph in just a few heartbeats
Old video. Nice flag. Did the bike and you survive the 127
About to buy a 127 we might have to run em. I’m in ky you?
I’m in Michigan!

I put a 127 in a fxr would wheelie and the brakes sucked up grade your brakes
