I did mine for around $300 just for parts...lifters, adj pushrods, o-rings, and gaskets. Got my cams for free from a buddy who's a horsepower freak. Traded out some work for 777's. Add second hand tools to that and I'm at around $450. Also did the install myself.
2010 Limited with some stuff!!

Not really sure but that info is readily available on-line. I don't keep any of the bills/receipts for performance parts because once installed they really are not worth any more when selling the bike. May even de-value the bike. For me, the real value is experiencing the increased performance. Easy DIY job that will pay dividends with every ride.
There are some good guys around here. I had a guy here send me the tools for a top end swap and sent them back after I was done. Some have the tools laying around and will rent them out for a small fee of course. The swap is very easy, watch the fuel moto videos and I have a write up on it.
I'm gonna be doing this this winter when the boredom kicks in(real soon)I do ride all year but not as much as I like(when the f-ing snow kicks in) sucks....

Just did mine:
Woods TW-222 cams - $380 - Fuel Moto
Cam gasket Kit - $59 - Fuel Moto (all gaskets including exhaust + new inner bearings (Torrington)
SE Quick-Install Tapered Adj. pushrods - $185 - HD
Lifters - Comp Cams 850s - $80 - Jegs
Tools - Bearing removal and install - Heartland - $105
SEPST download - Here for free
I did it myself and knowing it was done right is hard to price
With the tool I'm in it around $800. Dealers usually want $1,500 give or take and usually includes their tune time.
Well worth the time spent. Worst part is the exhaust R&R.
