They are a lot smoother engine. The only different in the actual engine is the crank and rods.
I’ve ridden several Arlen Ness Choppers with 124 S&S Engines and didn’t notice that they were smoother than the 117. It was at least 5 to 8 years ago so something may have changed.
If I were to need to replace my 117, I wouldn’t hesitate to install a 124 though as long as it is a direct drop in and roll on.

Well, the new BD 124" S&S engine IS a heavy hitter. Should be good if BD doesn't modify or mess with them.
Pistons where they should be.
640 cam.
Decent unported heads. Geometry correct.
Compression optimized.
Always some room for the personal touch for improvement.

Yes, that's good. Wouldn't want it any other way.
I am not sure but I think that is his way so saying he likes carburetors on his bikes.
Im a carb guy myself when it comes to bikes...carb just has a different sound....just a personal perference...dont take me wrong i like all bikes carb or injected but if im buying one carb is what i want... im just ole school when it comes to that...rebuilt the carb on my best friends 42 harley couple weeks ago and man did i love hearing that old flathead...
Lol i cut mine off jan 1 of this year...never watch it anyway....rather spend money on my toys lol
Yeah, not a fan of FI on these bikes.
I've never had cable or anything like it, nor have I had any tv signal in over 10 years. It's just hooked to a DVD player.
Honestly thats all anyone needs....i got to much shit to do to watch tv anyway lol

Yep, thats what Matt told last June.Big Dog told me after they drain their current stock of carbureted bikes and engines, the wonderful EPA is forcing them to sell ALL bikes thereafter with only fuel injection, hence all will have an additional cost of $2,000 to the MSRP.
Yamaha dropped V-max cause it doesn’t pass EU regs.
Harley CVO could not be sold in Europe anymore... yes they can sell bikes that were already imported... Why do you think they did came up with Milwaukee 8... way before it was truly tested it now seems...
The EPA can’t tell me what to do.......I’m sticking with a carburetor on my Big Dog. Maybe, you can buy a new Big Dog without the engine and then install a 124 yourself?Big Dog told me after they drain their current stock of carbureted bikes and engines, the wonderful EPA is forcing them to sell ALL bikes thereafter with only fuel injection, hence all will have an additional cost of $2,000 to the MSRP.
