I don't think you can go too far wrong for that price either, any running BT is worth 5K, IMHO. Besides, its a shovel not one of those new-fangled TC POS. Just my $.02.

Actually the bike does have an oil filter relocation kit, oil cooler and Hi performace clutch...

Ok, I'll have to look into those lifters and see... maybe I'll change them out...
He said it is a screamer...
Tim,
Already has the kit, that is good news, I like that oil cooler I have an hd also, really it’s a lockhart the only thing I added was a lockhart thermostat got tired of off and on with the cooler cover in spring and fall.
Well solids don’t float out if your running it hard, but you got to keep an ear open ! IMO I don’t think a near or stock shovel is all that quick, against any evo or tc, I think a stock shovel runs approx low 50's hp to the mid 50’s, todays tc I think run approx 10 more hp.
Keep in mind those stock valves and seats they are not the same as todays or even 20 yrs ago, in valve replacement, in the make-up of the metal, other than that, looks to be a fine buy.
Really check out those tires, for cracks and flat spots, yeah no way are they stock, but it’s the sitting in one spot that is a killer.
Good luck, ride safe !
