I just tore my motor down on my 2010 Wide Glide. It is getting the HD 110" cylinders and piston kit (92500039) , S&S 585 cams and I'm still in the air about heads. Either sending them out or bolting up some S&S 89cc. I just have to figure out if I need to clearance the valve cuts on the pistons or not and where The compression needs to be for these cams. I am thinking 10:1

Not hard to do at all.If you have even moderate mechanical ability you can do it.

Sounds pricey, kinda'.
We have complete 98", and 107" kits that start as low as $2050.00, with headwork, if you are pulling the wrenches.
If your getting priced with say an HPI t/body, injectors, roller rockers, 2.00" valve heads that'll handle large lift/large TDC's, with a good 2/1 pipe, that could actually be even more than that quote you've received.
Happy to help you with your goals.

10.5:1 minimum, as Kirby mentioned 10.7:1 is not out of the question....
