Splitting cases for powder?
I have a 97 FXD 15k miles, motor runs like a top. I'm going to powder the jugs and heads, the cases and trans are bare but I'd like them to be powder coated as well. I am not worried about my ability to do the work, but I am wondering what needs to be replaced, bearings or seals or anything else? I know it's cheap insurance to replace everything, but if I can get away with pulling the crank, powdering, and reinstalling, it would obviously be ideal. Thanks for any and all help.

Honestly every one has their opinion. I myself if I have the motor completely disassembled I would replace all the bearings. Its an insurance policy and when you powder coat everything it will tend to retain heat and if you have all the money to do that (the powder coating) then the bearings are not a question....IMHO....
