Wow. Sorry to see that.
It looks ugly. It took me a minute to figure out the pics, but looks like a rod broke, got hung on the case, turned into spaghetti and gouged big chunks out of the case.

when you look in the oil pump you will see its packed with metal debris, the pistons had lost the ability to create enough vacuum to pull the oil up into the cylinders, and as time goes in its just gets worse to the point no oil is being pulled up and into the cylinders
having =said that you have a good amount of throw off from the rods and the flywheels and that is the spot the oil pump being able keep up comes in -- if its lean from being clogged it will destroy the engine
fixable yes - replacement S&S is more money then another bike would be and no one wants to buy a stock motor SO your trans - clutch - primary drive - wheels / sprockets ALL come into play -- sell that one get another one you will come out ahead
