131 Crate Engine
I just purchased a new 2020 CVO road glide and was going to order the 131 crate engine from Harley as opposed to doing the 117 to 131 kit. My question is what do you think I could sell the 117 engine with now miles for on eBay or wherever? I seen some used 110 engines bring $3500. Just trying to offset some of the big cost. Also I have heard that some dealers will take my 117 engine on trade for like $500 difference... Thanks

Your 117 motor will be for parts only. Case numbers will be voided by hd, thus rendering the cases useless. When you buy a new motor it comes with a certificate of origin, so you can legally register the bike with a different motor case # than the original. Might want to look into this, most of this was done because of the theft issues and stolen parts.

Since you seem to be well funded, arrange for FuelMoto to build it up. Have them do the whole Shabang: 131 kit, great cam, full exhaust with headers, great non EPA dyno tune.
Assuming that with your funding level, you can give HD the middle finger on the warranty.
