They are tearing into it right now. They found that the rear cylinder has 60 psi and metal that was attached to the crank sensor was aluminum. Once the top end is off I will know more in a couple of hours. Preliminary thought is that the rear piston failed and may have took out the head and cylinder with it. The problem is that these HTCC parts are disc from H.D. and might have an issue finding them.
especially with high compression.

Well just left the dealer. The lower end is toast from the high compression build. Working on a quote for going with the 103. Should know price and availability in a few hours. Rough estimate with labor is $4,000 to $4,500. Thanks for all the input guys!

I believe the shop Stro was referring to in Cody is Cody Custom Cycles.

Update.... The rear inner cam bearing failed which was the start of the destruction of the piston and lower end. The cases are being sent to a local machine shop as the inner cam bearing failure took out some of the case. The machine shop will be able repair the case with a sleeve for the inner bearing. Currently waiting on parts for the 103 build. Looks like Saturday is the soonest to get back on the road. If all goes well.
