when this came out of the barn it had 4" of bird crap on it.
rebuilt the motor and tranny, changed all bearings, forks, new tires, battery, wash and wash and wash and wax
the HD remanufacturing program is pretty good, you may want to look into that- if there are any problems with the cases etc, they replace them and stamp your vin. the motor is rebuilt to completely stock specs, which means it would be good for 100,000 miles. while the motor is out you can have the tranny done and service the chassis, swingarm bushings etc, rebuild the front end, neck bearings etc.

The reason I bought this was to build a unique ride. I have been wanting a bagger for a few years after haveing a 2000 Softail for about 3 months. I liked it, but a long ride was a struggle for me from several wing sprint car accidents in my racing past. I have been building custom Can-Am Outlander ATV's for a few years and I'm ready to takle a bagger, probably not prepared but ready to learn. Here is a picture of a 2010 Outlander Max that I'm in the middle of building now. I have completely 100% disassembled it, powder coated the frame, the engine cases, cylinders and heads, built the engine to be around 110 crank HP, about 95 to the tires. I want to learn the ins and outs of Harley's and get to the point of re-building 2 or 3 clean title bikes a year but I have to start somewhere and I know I have a huge learning curve. Thanks for all of the advice, I'm sure I'll be asking questions regularly once I get the project off of the ground.
