Default Build advice request

'02 FI Road Glide's gotten old (80K miles). I have to change out the crank because of schrapnel related issues due to the cam bearing failing. So.....I'm looking for input as to the best power upgrade. I'm leaning toward the 103" wheels/stroker pistons/flowed heads/SE intake and a cam to go with the mix. Not sold on any particular Fuel Management unit yet. I want a reliable powerhouse that will run strong for 70 to 100K before I have to tear it down again. Any advice? Thanks.

Look at the new 120R motor from HD. It's alot of bang for the buck and since you need to split your cases anyway, it could be a good option for you.

Well, it's also a lot of bucks. I can redo my motor and get a lot of bang for way less than that. In my opinion the big inch motors won't give me the reliability and longevity that I want. Thanks for the input though.
