You're an idiot. You could have just bought a 1203.

You’re right! I went the long and expensive route to come up juuuust short of a stock 12 motor. Don’t think I would call this a wise decision

No! Cooter is WRONG. This is a fact.
Thats like saying a 1203 motor is better than an 1190.
Don't listen to Cooter, he just wants to trade you for his 1203 and a box of wine.
Your motor is going to be a ripper. I would love to put that in my S1.
Did Dark Horse give you a max RPM for the assembly?

Very nice! Once I get a second bike, and a wild hair, I'll be doing something like this on my xb9sx.

I went big bore cause I got a sweet deal. A xb9 with a 1050 kit, xb12 header, xb12 throttle body, k@n, nice exhaust, and a tune makes a nice motor. If I did it again I’d just stick with a 1050. Only because of cost

You mean to say 1170 doesn't cost 120 more than 1050
