He's not too far from I wrote him an email. He seems to be a little more expensive that the fuelmoto guys but may be worth it considering the travel time and costs. I found a local guy and shop called Pete Hill Motorsports he is suppose to be a great harley engine builder but he doesn't do much with the fuel injected bikes that I know of which kinda scares me.

One thing to consider is buying the 103" engine from your HD dealer and selling yours. I say this because a brand new 103" from HD is only around $5300 and a 110" is only $5500. You should be able to sell your engine for a few thousand. Had a buddy do this and he actually saved money over big bore installation and he has a new dealer installed motor with a warranty. Just a thought.

Don't know where your at in SC, but Kendall Johnson is in Winston. I think if i was doing an engine build, I would have him do it even if it cost a little extra, both him and his son drag race and know how to build reliable high horsepower engines.

FYI, they have a 103 kit installed and dyno'd for $3500.

eBay, Craigslist or to a local. HD dealership may buy it from you. You will have to provide a notarized bill of sale for the motor since it has numbers on it to the buyer. Talk to a dealer and get all the details, but it may be an avenue you want to look into. Heck, JIMS makes big twin cam motors also.

Kendall Johnson is a good idea also but a little more expensive than most. I wonder what kind of horse power he could make my bike make with stock displacement for cheaper? Still havent truly made up my mind with the nest route.

Just to let you know, my dealer had mine on the dyno today, along with another bike with 103 and same cams. I only got 85hp and 83 trq. That's 103, se255 cams, V&H BSL, and a S&S a/c. He figured head work should get me over the 90hp mark pretty easy and still keep the bike drivable. Seems like some of the guys here are getting higher numbers for similar builds, but like I said, he ran the numbers on the two bikes and both came out pretty close. He ran a stock bike and got about 68hp. I don't think a 110 crate motor doesn't even put 100hp, so you'd still need to do work to it.

I am sure he could set you up with something, he has specials not listed on the website. If nothing else, call and pick his brain, the man is good at motors.
