RE: Twisted Crank Help?
When you build it this time, weld the pins. I had to do this on my 82 KAW drag bike after I twisted it. Haven't done this on a Harley but should be the same process I would think. Just a guess, maybe some of the engine builders on here will have a fix.

The S/E one is $1k+ (retail) and the HD one is about half the price. I have heard the standard HD one prone to sissoring or twisting...
The welded pin recommendation is sound advice, along with balancing after the weld.

I was at the dealer getting service and pricing an upgrade with exhaust, tuner, heads, throttle body etc. The guy was telling me that they are seeing bent cranks on the 110's. He said, keep to a 103".
