I cost around $2500. Considering what you end up with I figured it was much better than paying close to the same fora completeengine rebuild from HD or aftermarket. And yes you have to take out your performance parts. Easy to do if you work on your own. Just ebay a stock part and put it in!

VTwinManufacturing has a beautiful kit 93.4", $400 smth: cylinders and pistons. Then you just ask the shop to bore your cases for the same $100smth.
I do not see it being even close to $2500!

I had my motor done at around 147,000 miles. In my opinion, it was money very well spent. You get a factory produced engine. Despite what your local wrench says, he is NOT going to machine anything as good as HD can at the factory. You also get a 1 yr warranty.

The factory works with numbers, shops work with people. They want you to come back. Besides, is there special patented secret equipment only HD can use to machine cases? If "a factory produced engine" was better than anything else, why would so many people change so much inside of it? Don't we know that Wiseco pistons are better than the stock ones (that's what you get in the VTwinMfg kit)? Isn't it obvious that S&S reed breather is better than the stock rotating one?
Warranty is definitely a plus, but is it really worth it just for a year? So what, I used to have a car with a 5yr warranty, and it spent more time in the shop than on the streets. I got rid of that crap.
Isn't a major part of the fun making your own and truly unique bike? Mostly yourself?
IMHO, If you just want everything factory, and rely on everything factory, you'll be better off with Jap bikes. Factory wise, they're way more reliable.
BTW, that was one of the main reasons why I switched to HD - the opportunity to have YOUR OWN bike, made by yourself! You are making your bike for yourself, someone else is making your bike for money, I guess there is the difference.
